Leaving another review here as I have just finished up multiple surgeries with Dr. Reisman over a…read more2-year period (cyst removal, bone graft, implant). Everything went perfectly; Dr. Reisman has made my small list of doctors whom I can recommend in this area. I like the staff here, and Dr. Reisman himself is also very friendly and easy to deal with. However - most importantly, you're getting a highly competent and careful surgeon. I received multiple opinions before I went with Reisman; where other surgeons might recommend additional procedures and aggressive sedation, Reisman's strategy is more conservative. The pricing is also very fair when compared with local and national averages for each procedure. Post-op exams and multiple additional 3D scans were all included in a single price for each procedure. Medical and legal professionals are a mixed bag in this part of the country. Do your research and you'll find the good ones.

Over the past two years I've had to have surgery on both shoulders and my bicep. Dr.Grauer is an…read moreexcellent doctor and surgeon. Once I found out I was going to need another surgery there was no doubt in my mind about who I wanted to perform it. He is extremely smart, kind, mild mannered and patient. He has taken great care of me and done an excellent job with both of my surgeries. Hopefully I will never need another surgery but if I do I know exactly where I'll be going. Thank you Dr. Grauer.

This review is solely based on my experience with Alan Villavicencio, MD, the support staff who…read moreassisted, and his preferred surgery center in Lafayette/Louisville area on Hwy 287. When I came to see him I wasabis to walk about a block before pain and 6 blocks before having to sit and rest due to the pain in my back/leg. I had a previous spine surgery to correct spinal stenosis. My visits were all non pressured and succinct. I could tell he had a lot of knowledge and information during our conversations and he and his staff was willing to answer any questions I had. I did not get the impression that he is social or person, but I didn't care, I wanted the best surgeon. What this meant for me is I was prepared with a list of my questions before I came to appointments and asked them all. He is very quick and knowledgeable and I am not the best in the fly with memory, so I believe I would have missed questions had I not done this. I have seen reviews where he lacks bedside manner...I would not say this. I do not think he will stay and hold your hand while coddling you, but he won't be rude. He is very professional. He presented my three options and gave me the pros and cons of each. He explained short and long term scenarios to me. His staff was top notch...in my opinion some of the best staff I've encountered. This applies to the receptionists, nursing staff, assistant doctors, surgery center personnel, and billing person. I was very pleased with how accommodating they were and low pressure the entire experience was for me. Since surgery I have been perfectly happy and no symptoms have returned. It has been almost 2 years. Thanks Dr. V!

If I could give 0 stars or - negative stars I would!…read more Went to see Dr. V for the first time today. What a complete waste of time! The worst bedside manner. Dismissive. No concern or empathy. My total visit with him lasted 10 minutes at best. After 2 prior cervical fusions, my imaging shows severe stenosis on the right, moderate on the left, a herniated disc above my fusion, and 2mm slippage of my vertebrae at flexion and extension. My symptoms include numbness in my right hand, tingling in the back of my neck and the side of my face, and ice pick headaches in the back of my head. His response was "those symptoms don't correlate with that level. Surgery is a 50/50 chance if you'll do better. You can get another ablation or steroid shots. But degeneration is normal as we age." Maybe we can explore this as a cause: Occipital neuralgia: This is a distinct condition that is often triggered by cervical spine issues, including herniated discs. Occipital neuralgia is caused by the irritation or compression of the occipital nerves that run from the upper spine to the scalp. It is characterized by sharp, stabbing, or electric-shock-like pain that can feel very similar to an ice pick headache. Or how about it can absolutely cause the symptoms I have: A herniated disc at the C3-C4 level of the cervical spine can cause various symptoms, including: Pain: Sharp, shooting pain in the neck that may radiate down the arm into the shoulder, hand, or fingers Pain that worsens with certain movements, such as bending the neck forward or backward Numbness and Tingling: Numbness or tingling in the shoulder, arm, hand, or fingers Pins and needles sensation That was it. Off I went with the name of a chiropractor and different pain management doctor. I'm sorry but there's nothing normal about the symptoms I'm feeling. So if it's not from that level, let's figure out where it's coming from and fix it. He was absolutely horrible. I've been dealing with this for 10 years and I've never experienced a doctor who could not care less about helping. Stay away.

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.

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.

I consider Dr. Fox to be a very skilled surgeon. He recently performed my thyroid lobectomy…read more(removal of half) which went very smoothly. Immediately on waking, I was surprised to be in so little pain or discomfort. All parathyroid glands were left intact, and no damage was done to any vocal nerves (voice unchanged). I was given a good arsenal of pain medications to work with: Meloxicam, oxycodone, tylenol. I ended up needing only one meloxicam pill though. Neck soreness was very similar to what I feel the day or two after doing substantial work under a vehicle on my back and lifting my head a lot. Dr. Fox called me personally with the pathology results, which was nice and unexpected. His manner is excellent. Very personable with good sense of humor. In the initial consultation, he was thorough in evaluating if the surgery was the right choice for my situation and preferences, explaining other possible options. I would highly recommend Dr. Fox for any thyroid or similar surgery. The rest of the team at Alpine Surgical was top notch too.

Doctor Richard Fox lives fully up to the name "dick". He's got all of the personality of a dead…read morerodent and just about as much charisma. His bedside manner includes mocking patients for feeling pain. Pain that would not have been a problem had he not botched the surgery in the first place. A 'one hour surgery' turned into a ten hour sit waiting for the patient with no word of their condition. The patient was then sent home without a functioning oxygen bottle, constant pain, and two drains in their side. Due to the lack of functioning oxygen, the patient was rushed in the middle of the night to the ER. A phone call to the doctor resulted in no apologies, but further mocking. Why? Because the doctor had forgotten to turn the bottle of oxygen on, and, rather than accept the blame, pointed the finger at those untrained in the use of the bottle. The drains, over time, began filling with blood. 'Oh, but a bit of blood is expected' says the quack. But it wasn't a "Bit of Blood" it was a pool. Over the course of a month, the victim - no longer a patient - bled profusely into these drains, with constant pain, being told she was the "princess and the pea" by doctor dick. On November 12, a full month and several days after the initial surgery the victim woke in the middle of the night, swimming in a pool of blood, screaming. After being rushed by ambulance back to the hospital for a SECOND TIME, she was asked (and I quote) 'What the f*** are you doing back here.' Followed by the "doctor" attempting to re-dress the bandages, and as he walked away, a second bleed out began. Turns out, the moron nicked the pancreas, and didn't say anything about it. Pancreatic fluid, as we then learned, is much like undiluted stomach acid, and ate through the splenic artery, resulting in the victim nearly dying. Twice. During all of this, the victim couldn't eat and keep the food down. She was laughed at by Fox multiple times, and told "i don't know." Oh, and he gave her his recipe for a brisket. Silver linings. Come to find out when a real doctor took a look, that her stomach had swollen from all of this. Third time nearly dying. But hey, he's sure proud of that quarter inch of functional spleen she still has.

Due to problems at a more local to Golden CO surgical center where my wife was originally…read morescheduled, she had to go to Louisville, Centura/Avista Adventist Hospital. It was an outpatient surgery but, not without some risk. Anytime you're under anesthesia there's risk, right? The surgery started two hours late due to some delays there, so I didn't pick her up till about 8pm, the place was a ghost town. But they'd been given my cell # to text and I was kept posted on her status the whole time, and I got a call from her surgeon telling me she's fine, there were some minor complications (oh boy, here we go...) but she's in recovery, come get her. He was terrific and as he promised, we were given his cell number and he told me if you even THINK there's a problem over the weekend, call me! Wow. The nurse in the recovery area was fantastic. She and my wife had become fast friends and I almost had to interrupt their conversations to encourage her to move the process along, please? It was a long drive home in the dark on an unfamiliar two lane road back to Golden. In summary, an experience like this kind of restores your faith in humanity. And I was thinking, these people survived Covid, survived a huge fire nearby just a few weeks previously, and they just keep doing the best they can for their patients with such heart and kindness. Fantastic.
