I want to share with you that the staff at VSOrtho is outstanding. Dr. Dorf, Ms. Bohman, and Ms…read more Bowen provided the best care and experience possible. First let me tell you that I have broke more than 8 bones working with many offices and doctors. I've never been treated and cared for better. I've had this pain in my wrist for 5 years and Dr. Dorf has made my quality of life 100x better. The best its been since my original accident. Even after the first surgery in another state I never was pain free until now and so grateful to have found Dr. Dorf. I'm finally back to all my activities of Biking, Climbing, Weight lifting and much more without worrying about the pain. I thank them dearly and recommend VSOrtho as the best Orthopedics office all round. 100/10!

Going to Vail-Summit Orthopaedics after I dislocated my shoulder was the worst thing that ever…read morehappened to me. I was told there was a 97% recovery rate for my condition and that I'd be back to rock climbing and sports in a number of months. However, both the 1st and 2nd surgeries performed by Dr. Paul Abbot completely failed. My strength and mobility plummeted 80% after my treatment at this facility. I was in FAR better health prior to walking into VSON. They ruined my body. Another surgeon did his best to clean it up a couple years later. He gave me some improvement, but 13 years later I am in crippled agony. I've called a few times over the years to plead for some consideration to my outcomes, but they do not care for that. They are of course happy to see me again, restart the process, and give me another enormous bill, but there is no real sympathy or concern shown for how they ruined my athleticism and left me with chronic lifelong pain at the age of 22. Imagine paying tens of thousands of dollars for this outcome. It genuinely keeps me up at night. That and the pain. Maybe their new doctors are better, but don't be fooled when they say they care about you.

I have used Dr. Jones a couple of times…read more 1) I had a double hernia about 20 years ago. He had fixed it up and gave me the short term limitations (lifting) which I followed and to this day, no problems. 2) Just recently I had a ruptured appendix and went to ER. I was fortunate to pull Dr. Jones to do this cleanup and fix. The rupture was extensive and most of the work was to clean up the bad stuff in my abdomen. He had to use over 3 liters of saline to clean out the rupture so I did not die from being septic. Whilst in the hospital, he did swing by every day to check and chat. He listened to everything I said and asked, then gave clear answers/directions. A close friend of mine is a nurse that knows Dr. Jones and said I was fortunate to have him to address the rupture as he is meticulous in his work and has always been a highly regarded surgeon in the medical community. I am here writing this review due to his quality standards.

I was recommended to Dr Garramone's practice by my neighbor. She is an articulate attorney who has…read morehad some tough health issues and since she highly recommended him, I thought... hmmm... I better check him out. I saw 3 other surgeons to inquire about the pain in my knee. I had 3 different views and I wanted his expert opinion. Well, he agreed with the 1st and 3rd surgeon, that they were onto the right diagnosis and he could take care of it. Dr. Garramone spent as much time as I needed, not rushed out the door after a few moments... unlike some of the other Drs.... just saying... I liked his precise analysis along with his suggestion to also use PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy.. so I said yes to him and scheduled my surgery. I really liked the hospital he was at and I got all emotional when Sky Ridge sent me a get well postcard with everyones signature. I'm a big baby... anyway the hospital was efficient, quick and staff was excellent! My surgery recovery, can I say surgery recovery was Great? Sure, it hurt but I expect when you cut into somebody's body and do stuff to a bone, it's going to hurt! But, Every Day I Got Better! I even took pictures so I could be distant from the healing process and remember exactly what it looked like instead of relying on my memory. I'm currently 7 weeks out from the torn meniscus and a whole bunch of other stuff he did, but again, Every Day, I feel better. Yes, it feels better than it did before and I could tell that after 5 days! Would I recommend him, a big Yes - 5 Stars completely. Go for it!!! VJ

I was sent to Dr Garramone after a bad car accident, ho took his time, examined me thoroughly and…read moredetermined I had a torn Labrum in my shoulder. He explained about the necessity of the labrum and told me that`s why I was in such pain all the time. He did surgery on it, told all about the recovery time, what I could and could not do, and after the follow up visit suggested a Platelet-Rich Plasma injection, which I believe helped expidite my healing. I would highly recommend Dr Garramone. His office personnel are extremely attentive, answer any further questions and return calls immediately. Outstanding experience!!

I went in for Morton's neuroma surgery and came out very happy. The staff there is amazing. I have…read morehad shoulder surgery, hamster surgery, full hysterectomy, etc. etc. and the surgery centers I've been to they were the most organized and on top of it that I have ever been to. I didn't have to sit and wait for a doctor to show up or the anesthesiologist to show up. Everybody was there. The intake process was amazingly simple I already had completed everything online prior to the procedure. We just went a double staff had everything ready and I was rolled into surgery on time. I also appreciated how kind and professional everyone was and if I ever have to have a surgery again Which I will in December I know it will be as smooth as my October surgery. Update: surgery went well and the team at Lincoln Surgery Center did not disappoint!!!

I have an issue with their billing process,I was told a set price only to receive two bills a month…read morelater stating that I now owe them an extra $800.00.I was hesitant about the initial amount of $400.00 because of the procedure being a shot in the dark to help with my back pain. I asked more than once if the initial amount was all that I would have to pay,if I would have known that there was a chance that it would have cost me another 800.00 I never would have had the procedure. Please don't count on them to make sure your insurance is going to cover anything,I feel like I was lied to. P.S. the procedure I had was a facet injection and it didn't work

This man should be wearing a superhero cape as my life was saved by his skillful hands and mind…read more I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (highly aggressive and invasive) in November of `23. Akin Beckley, MD was the only breast oncology surgeon in the region that I came across who was willing to modify a tight surgical schedule to get me in before my prognosis would have worsened. I told him that I was "desperate" to have the tumor removed and kept getting the neoadjuvant chemo run-around from other practices as well as "We can see about getting you in January of `24". January?! He remarked that I am being REASONABLE in wanting immediate excision. His semi-soliloquy to himself: "I am going to help this woman" " and he did exactly that, operating on me before Christmas, with a superb bedside manner and a winning smile. He made sure my parents understood what was to happen during the double mastectomy and he even made an effort to speak with my 10-year-old about her thoughts on the matter. He does not rush questions nor behave all pompous or authoritarian like an "MDeity". His character archetype is the same as my favorite former boss who also saved me, just differently, in 2002. If you want a doctor who does NOT treat you like another number, this man may be your surgeon. He is well-respected at the hospitals and he has great energy, plus precision in surgical technique. He sure knows how to facilitate smiles and singing from the hills by this formerly downtrodden cancer patient. Do your due diligence and place Dr Beckley at the top of your surgical investigation. Best of luck navigating your journey.

Dr. Beckley was assigned to my case (I ended up in the ER with gallbladder issues and was referred…read morefor surgery). I am seeing so many wonderful reviews, and I'm bummed that wasn't my experience. I felt belittled, questioned, and not supported in my situation. Believing the best in every one, I'm trying to look at it as we found each other on bad days and missed communication marks from the get go. Post-op care was non-existent, and he was very short with my hubby when he called to say surgery had been completed. I hope I'm the outlier here; it's made me not want to call for follow-up or potential complications I may be having, but I will do what I need to to ensure recovery.
