Rick Griffin,  Testimonial

"As Head Athletic Trainer of the Seattle Mariners I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Ed Khalfayan for the last seven years. Not only is Dr. Khalfayan the Medical Director for the team, he is also our orthopedic surgeon who operates on both our major league and minor league players. The players have a tremendous amount of trust in his surgical skills and his ability to communicate the expectations and outcomes of the surgery. This is one of his greatest strengths as he spends time explaining not only the surgery but also the rehabilitation requirements that go along with the surgery. Working on a daily basis with Dr. Khalfayan in the athletic training room and seeing first hand his skill in diagnosing injuries to the shoulder, elbow, and knee and relaying the information to the players is very comforting to me. An athletic trainer depends on a strong working relationship with his team physician as this builds confidence with the players so they know they are getting the best possible care. Having been involved with the Seattle Mariners for close to 30 years I know the players are getting the best medical care in the major leagues and this is in large part due to the knowledge, dedication and skill as a surgeon of Dr. Ed Khalfayan."
