I fell and went to ER because of my ankle injury. The x-rays showed a Talar fracture, they put a boot on me and told me to use crutches. I was referred to Orthopedic Associates, I was given an appointment with Dr. Goris. He spent all of 2-5 minutes in the room with me and my husband. He looked at the x-ray on the computer screen and said that is an old one you just have a sprain, "wear the boot, don't wear the boot" was his response, no other instructions were given. I called to get a second opinion and yes I have a Talar fracture, in the boot at least 3 more weeks and then see if I need therapy. He made me feel like he didn't have time to deal with me. I have broken bones before and seen other doctors at OA and have never been treated this way. I had to click on a star or I would have chosen none.

I recently underwent hip replacement surgery, and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Czaplicki. He has a wonderfully relaxed confidence that immediately put me at ease. He listened, provided clear options, and made me feel fully supported every step of the way.
From the morning of surgery to my final post-operative visit, Dr. Czaplicki has been nothing short of amazing. I also want to commend his entire staff—from front desk to clinical team—they have all been incredibly kind and helpful, and I truly appreciate them.
I can confidently say that if you’re considering hip replacement surgery, Dr. “C” is the only surgeon you should see. He is the absolute BEST, and I’m so thankful I had him as my surgeon.

My son, Cole had an accident and was brought to Deaconess midtown via AirEvac. After not being about to reduce his injuries in the ED, he was admitted to PICU with an Ortho consult and surgery the following morning. Dr.Fehrenbacher was the wonderful, amazing surgeon we were blessed with. Dr. Fehrenbacher Is so kind and knowledgeable, from the time we met him- we knew our son was in great hands. After recovery he was taken back to PICU to recover. Erin, PA came to check in on Cole as well, she is absolutely precious and so knowledgeable. Cole has received outstanding care, from Dr. Fehrenbacher, Erin, PA and Ashley, NP. Thank you all for caring for my child. Your entire team will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Dr Whitacre was very friendly and informative during our visit. I felt heard and confident in his detailed plan to help me get back to my normal activities.

I am deeply disappointed! Dr. Behrens spent time outside my room having a lively chat about the liquor and Chik-fil-A ecard her gave to his assistant for her birthday. I thought he would enter the room with the same amount of care and positive personality traits. Instead, he walked in without introducing himself, diagnosed my issue as arthritis without asking me about the very specific incident that caused me to make an appointment. When I tried to ask a question about why the knuckle continues to turn purple, his response was, "You have a pretty hand. You should be proud of that hand." I was in his office less than 1 minute. I am now waiting for a bill I know will not reflect the quality or quantity of care that I received. I can think of many words to describe Dr. Behrens - NONE of them are positive.

Dr. Cameron Metzger was amazing! He did my hip replacement on Dec. 2 and I was walking without a walker or cane in just five weeks! He was very friendly, caring and compassionate.

Dr. Goris has been my surgeon for my hip previous years and he has just done a TSA on my right shoulder.
I was truly blessed to have this man as my surgeon
He is direct and to the point he does not baby you
But you go in with all the knowledge you need to make the necessary decision decisions for yourself prior to surgery
He follows through and make sure you’re healing is progressing and is Genuinely concerned for your health and healing. I would most definitely suggest to anyone to see Dr. Goris for your surgical needs.

Dr. Behrens replaced both shoulders (a few months apart) on my 86 y/o grandmother following a couple of falls. He looked at her activity level and desire to continue an active lifestyle instead of just seeing her age. He is a great surgeon with a kind, compassionate, patient bedside manner. Great doctor!! Glad we found him!!

Dr Mull initially at consultation for bilateral carpal tunnel surgery was fine and he seemed professional but day of surgery was a different story
He has a terrible bed side manner and I felt he did not properly prepare me for what to expect or give me really any appropriate after surgery instructions
His follow up was even worse I had problems with trigger thumb after surgery with first right thumb at my post op appointment he confirmed thats the problem I was having but really didn’t try to help me resolve my issue
As my pain in right trigger thumb persisted and conflicted with me doing my job appropriately my primary physician gave me a steroid injection which took care of problem
At last follow up appointment with Dr Mull he basically was only interested if my carpal tunnel symptoms went way not acknowledging that now my left trigger thumb pain is making it hard to do my job and he said my primary physician should not have so quickly given me a steroid shot but at least he is addressing my issue and not ignoring the problem
I am currently without insurance between jobs and am in sometimes excruciating pain with left trigger thumb
I would never recommend Dr Mull absolutely terrible bedside manner and really doesn't listen to patients requests or problems as long as his questions are answered thats all he cares about
Terrible experience feel violated
Dr Mull should not be a Dr

I had a new patient appointment with Dr Mull after sustaining a wrist injury. He came in and introduced himself and his script. Pulled up my xray I got at Urgent Care two weeks prior. I was unimpressed with his bedside manner. He barely looked at me when he spoke after I described how the occurred. He just said let’s get another x-ra. after the x-ray. He he came in and sat in front of the x-ray computer with his back towards me the whole time and told me that nothing was broken or fractured. I explained to him that I had been wearing a brace and that I type and use a mouse all day, and that the hand that I injured is my dominant hand he suggested that I try not to use it. I asked if there was any different type of brace I could wear that could stability my thumb he said he would have someone come and fit me for a new brace walked out without any other instructions other than to come back in two weeks just frustrated because I have been in pain for now three weeks and I seem to feel like I am just being pushed out the door. When I left the room to check out I thanked the doctor for his time and he didn’t even look at me. Just very frustrating when you have no cause for pain and no instructions on what to do other than wearing a new brace.

I saw Jacob Jaco, PA-C to find out what else was going on with my back. I have constant pain and my posture is shot. He ordered general x-rays of my back and that was it. When I initially saw him he did not greet me very friendly. I did not know his name and had never seen him. Apparently that did not matter. When I reached his office I tried to explain to him that I lower body had shifted. He did not listen and actually had a negative answer that my 'belly button' moving had nothing to do with my back. I had tried to tell him that my belly button was no longer centered. I did not know how to explain this to him. Well my spine has curved more, I am humped over when I walk now. The lower part of my body has changed due to my back. His focus was on the fact that I have an implant and the negativity that he felt about having the implant. I asked if there were anything that could be done to help me and he told me that they could do nothing and said I would have to go to a university hospital. He also told me that having my back done would be a very painful thing to go through. Well, daily pain 24/7 is not a picnic in the park. I have never complained on any of the doctors or staff before until now. Everyone that I have met at OPA and Deaconess have been extremely nice and helpful until I saw this fellow. This guy needs a good lesson in talking with people and listening to people and maybe asking more questions rather than criticizing for something that is a desperation measure to get out of some pain as in the implant.

I was in and out real fast and the doctor didn’t beat around the bush about what was wrong. He showed me the x-rays and explained everything in detail. I was really impressed by that. Thank you Dr.Goris

Dr. Lowery is an excellent surgeon; he is thorough and listens to the needs of his patient. He will exhaust all other options prior to doing surgery and when surgery is the best option he and his surgical team get the job done with excellence. I had both knees replaced by him and have no issues. The follow up by he and his NP Samantha was also very good! I highly recommend this Doctor.

Dr. Sisovsky has been amazing explaining everything to me. I have had two surgeries on my foot. Both times he has made sure that I have everything I need and has tried to keep my pain to a minimal. I am also hearing impaired - Dr. Sisovsky, as well as his staff, have made sure I’ve understood everything while in office.

Extremely pleased with Dr. Goris following surgery to repair a torn bicep. The surgery itself went very well and Im told my recovery is ahead of the curve.
When my bicep tore, I was terrified my life would drastically change. Dr. Goris instilled calm and confidence. Everything has panned out exactly as he predicted with zero complications. Words fail me in expressing my gratitude and respect for this excellent Phyciscian, and his staff.

My experience with Dr. Mull has been a positive one. I broke both wrists with one requiring surgery. The surgical procedure went smoothly as has my post operative recovery. He sits down and takes the time to address any concerns I have and answer my questions. I have never felt rushed during an office visit.
I would recommend Dr. Mull for hand/wrist injuries.
