Patient Reviews

I have had several pains and have gone to several different doctors and hospitals without success. I have been amazed by Bethanie. She asked some questions, listened to my concerns, and discussed options. I felt comfortable with the plan. I'm on a positive path. Finally, I have goals to reach, and I am moving without pain.

Dr. Doser has been just great. Taking the time to fit me in on short notice, even though I was a new patient. He is very easy to talk to, relaxed, and takes the time to answer all your questions (so many doctors are in a rush). Top drawer experience.

First, I was delighted that I did not have to wait six weeks to get an appointment to see him! He was thorough with his questioning, and I appreciate that he ordered more x-rays, to help with his diagnosis. I am thankful that he did not try to talk me into surgery immediately, and I appreciate his suggestions to seek therapy and pain management since I have not done that before. I felt confident in his medical advise, and understand that he is very patient-friendly. I cannot remember going to a doctor back and have them shake my hand in a friendly manner! I know that is a little thing, but I was impressed!

This appointment was my ten-week follow-up for knee replacement. I saw Katie, and she answered all my questions. She explained where I was at in the recovery cycle and what I was to expect. She is as pleasant and professional as can be. I never feel rushed. Katie is very personable and professional. She also did my Iovera treatment before surgery. She was interested in my feelings and observations of the treatment, which was phenomenal. I am very pleased with Dr. Pitts, Katie, Teresa, and everyone I've dealt with since surgery in July.

I am extremely pleased with Dr. Nelson and the staff. Dr. Nelson explains his surgical plan very well. My experience with Dr. Nelson is that he pays close attention to my personal needs as a patient. He communicates extremely well, so there are not any misunderstandings pre or post-operation. Dr. Nelson and the staff are very professional, and I truly appreciate all that they do.
