He was always professional, kind, and considerate. He then hired Garrett Bronken to join his staff. Garrett gave me my last few shots. Garrett too was wonderful. He's easy to talk to, and he advises you step by step what he's going to do for you with the shot. I also received a shot in my shoulder area recently from Garrett, as I injured my back moving a heavy object. I felt better the next day. Dr. Samagh's office manager, Christy, is very efficient and friendly. I am going to miss them all, as I am moving out of town. They are a great group. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for orthopedic and regenerative therapy. They are a wonderful group.

They all made a very scary situation much easier. This was my second exact surgery and Dr. Samagh was kind and caring, and has such great bedside manner, something lacking in todays doctors. My surgery was so much easier than my first surgery two years ago, and my healing has been smoother with the help of both Garrett and Kristi's help. I would not hesitate ever turning to this group if you ever need surgery. They are at the top of game, and have new and innovative ways to get results that others don't. They specialize in areas where others really don't know what they are doing. Trust these people.

As a PT, he has always been one of my top referrals for orthopedic consultation and surgery. I have always respected the time he spends with his patients, results from surgery as well as his bedside manner with patients. Recently, I had my own orthopedic issues that resulted in having surgery on my knee. From start to finish, Dr Loren was terrific! He took time with me and explained his concerns. He respected me and my input about my knee. I know, from prior patients I have treated over the years and from my recent personal experience, that he takes his time and considers every surgery he does to be significant and that he approaches surgery with the utmost precaution and precision. I appreciate that very much! I also appreciated his call the night after surgery to check on me and to share what he found. My recovery was quick and I experienced minimal pain. I am back to the things I enjoy without the fear of my knee getting stuck or giving way. Dr Loren has always been a top orthopedic referral for me. After having him complete my surgery, I can confidently say that my personal experience strengthens my recommendation for his orthopedic care and surgery. Thank you Dr. Loren for your kindness, excellent care and a great surgical result! Betty Parmenter

A few years ago I came home early from a trip because of terrible shoulder and back pain. I tried…read moreto find an appointment before I got on the plane. No luck! Then I saw the reviews for Dr. Belnap on Yelp & lo and behold he was able to fit me in the week I returned . After looking at x rays of my shoulder and back from years ago & examining me he sent me to get an MRI . I was relieved it was an MRI and not a CAT scan as they have been shown to increase your chances of getting cancer. The MRI place he recommended was able to get me in for the next week.. my co-pay was under $100 for my back and my shoulder . Soon after this I saw Dr. Belnap again & he gave me a cortisone injection in my shoulder and some medication which helped greatly . A few months later the same in my back ! Last year I somehow hurt my back so badly I could barely walk. Once again, he was able to fit me in quickly and gave me an injection, which helped somewhat. However, it was Christmas holidays and I was going away for a special celebration and my back couldn't handle it. He was able to fit me in during the holiday season quickly, gave me an epidural and I was able to go and be fine. he's very caring and and we'll do whatever he can to help.

I first saw Dr. Bunyak seven years ago after having debilitating lower back pain, which was keeping…read moreme from being active with my children, and doing things I love like snow skiing. I was depressed and frustrated after dealing with years of lower back pain, which did not resolve even with oral steroids/surgery ie microdiscectomy. Upon first entering the office, the staff was extremely empathetic, professional, and the office was absolutely beautiful (artwork/cleanliness). Dr. Bunyak was extremely professional, provided me with extensive bedside time and had the most amazing bedside manner. She first recommended a steroid injection, which unfortunately did not help with my pain. Thereafter, she recommended PRP and this was an absolute godsend. My lower back pain completely resolved, and I was able to play and wrestle with my young children as well as get back on the slopes and ski again! I wrote her a thank you card, essentially thanking her for giving me my life back. I have been doing well over the past seven years until now when I unfortunately herniated a disc at L5-S1 causing severe pain and sciatica. I made an appointment again with Dr. Bunyak planning/expecting to get another PRP injection (as that was what cured me in the past). Dr. Bunyak spent an hour at the bedside with me discussing all of my options in a very calm, informative manner. She informed me that given my current state, she believed the PRP injection that I was hoping to get would actually exacerbate my pain and not help with the issue and she rather recommended a steroid injection at this time. Dr. Bunyak refers out her steroid injections to an extremely reputable physician. Dr. Bunyak could have proceeded with my anticipated/expected PRP injection and made way more money off of me, but rather she did what was best for me (the patient) and my health. I trust Dr. Bunyak with my life and I think she is an absolutely amazing woman and physician. She is so well educated. She attended Yale. She has been a practicing physician for decades at this point. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone who is dealing with acute or chronic back pain to consider seeing Dr. Bunyak for possible help with your pain. Lastly, Stacy the RN, was so kind and comforting from the moment I walked in the door. Steve the clinical manager, was also so kind and went above and beyond to help me with ancillary issues/tasks I needed assistance with. Overall, I cannot say enough about the entire BOUNDLESS team. Thank you for being a resource in our community.

I went to Dr. Holland for a ruptured Achilles.

He answered all the questions I had clearly and so that "the common person" can understand. We then agreed on an approach to the entire healing process. I am now about 10 weeks out from the injury and can say his recommended approach was right on point where I am now already back to gentle swimming and generally walking about, with my other desired activities not far off. During this time, he made sure I was in PT as soon as possible and was always available for questions and counsel. I have nothing but thanks toward him and his supporting team. Of course I hope I don't have to see him again for this same thing, but if I needed to, I would reach out to him immediately and with great confidence.

I am sure that this Orthopedic Office is great for others. However, my multiple visits were very…read moredisappointing and each visit seemed to get worse. I was referred by another physician to go to this office and see Dr. Meineke for ongoing foot pain. My initial call was answered by Maria? who sounded less than enthused to help me. I made an appointment with the dates that she gave me. I showed up for my appointment, a young blonde (Carrie?) at the front desk greeted me and had me fill out questions on a iPad. I was taken for a three view x-ray and taken to the back to be seen by the doctor. While I was waiting, I could hear every bit of the conversation by the staff who seems to just hang out in the hallway outside the rooms. I understand that the viewing stations are right there but the conversations were of personal matters and loud(loud male voices). Doctor came in and spent maybe five minutes before he ordered an MRI. I was glad that he ordered that as I have had prior trauma to that part of the body. I was told that as soon as I have my MRI, to call the office and make a f/u appointment for the results. When I went for my MRI, the nice girl went to confirm the body part to be imaged and come to find out the Dr.Meinke's office sent in an order for the wrong foot. The girl at the MRI center called the office to clear up the mix up but the office never called back ( I was there 1.5hrs from check in to check out). The MRI center did the scan on the correct foot based off of what I told them. I stopped by Dr.Meineke's office after my MRI to make a f/u appointment and to inform them of what had happened. I came across the blonde young lady again and when I kindly told her about the mix up, she responded with "It happens from time to time, HaHa!". She did not apologize and nor did she offer to fix it (smh). I returned for my f/u to find out the results of the MRI, I asked the blonde young lady if I can get a copy of my x-rays and the report. she was very sweet and said "of course, just ask for them at checkout, they will be ready for you). I meet with the doctor, We discuss the results. He walks out. doesn't say okay we are all done... so I ask if I am all finished up?. He loves to walk out and not say anything. I get to the check out desk, I ask for my x-rays and I am told that there is going to be a $5.00 fee for the CD... mind you, the blonde at the front desk never, ever mentioned a fee. I pay the money and ask where is the report that accompanies it, so the young man apologizes on behalf of the staff member who forgot to mention the fee and gives me a printout. This was my first request for the images. Normally the first set is free at most doctors offices. My MRI CD was free. I have worked in Healthcare for over 20Years and I know this not the way to run a medical center. I am sure Dr.M is very good at what he does however, I will not be returning to this office. Poor front office communication, staff members hanging around examination rooms discussing personal things. looks like a frat house. doctor spends very little time with the patient and only seems to listen to what he wants to listen and the rest doesn't seem to matter. I had high hopes but I was sadly let down.
