My husband broke his wrist and ended up being referred to Dr. Giles Becker. He is part of the…read moreBanner Health Orthopedic Surgery department. I can't say enough good things about our interaction with him. Originally when my husband saw him the x-rays indicated that the wrist was just fractured, so he was fitted with a removable splint. However, he asked my husband to come back in two weeks to retake x-rays since there was so much swelling. Dr. Becker wanted to be sure it was healing properly. When my husband went back it, and the swelling had gone down, the x-rays actually showed it was broken, so he put a cast on it. Six weeks later it was completely healed. He was very thorough with my husband's care and has a great bedside manner. We would absolutely recommend Dr. Becker.

The results have been far better than I expected…read more Dr. Thompson was very attentive to every detail of what was going on with my shoulder, what my expectations were and there were no complications. His demeanor put me at ease at all times. The follow-up appointments were always through and there was never a feeling that he wanted to rush me out to get the next patient in. He spent just the right amount of time with me; making sure everything was as it should be and I was happy with the results. Top notch!

I'm absolutely thrilled with the improvement to my hand after the work Dr. Thompson did for it!…read more My injury stemmed from a fall nearly fifteen years ago and I'd been to a "handful" (sorry; couldn't resist) of other doctors and had all sorts of scans and treatments including a whole bunch of extremely painful, yet ultimately ineffective, shots. Dr. Thompson essentially took one look at it and knew what the problem was. He gave me a few minimally-invasive things to try for a couple of months (hey, what's a couple of months when you've been suffering for years!?!). Based on the results from those interventions, he was able to confirm the diagnosis and we quickly arranged the surgery. Sure it hurt, but wow, was it worth it! You can barely see the scars and the process overall was remarkably pleasant. Most of the staff have been consistently kind and professional. I'm so grateful for Dr. Thompson and the team at Tucson Shoulder Elbow and Hand! Anybody know a good piano teacher? :-)

I've experienced terrific pain in my knee, upon reading many reviews on a NEXTDOOR APP in my neighborhood, I realized Dr. Meaney is THE MAN. I have to say making an appointment was easy. I was given a date & place to get X-rays they were forwarded to his office. Meeting him he immediately took all my fears away. He is so kind~ he reminded me of Dr. Welby on the TV show. Comforting, reassuring , professional, knowledgeable and KIND describes Dr.Meaney. He suggested a cortisone shot, I was skeptical but he was soooo right. It has been barely 3 hours ... I am PAIN FREE for the first time in months. If you are debating ? Debate no longer ... He is a WIN/WIN !

I'm currently in Rehab after having a total knee replacement done by Dr. Meaney. I'm extremely…read morehappy with the surgery and with Dr. Meaney. He is certainly not a doctor who will 'fluff and puff' you. He told me on my first visit that he doesn't mince words and he tells it straight. I very much prefer that. He did an excellent job on my knee and I'm doing great in Rehab! Knee replacement is painful, no doubt about it - but that's going to be the case no matter who does the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Meaney - if I ever have to have any orthopedic surgery in the future I will definitely ask him to be my surgeon!

I was up and walking around immediately after surgery and started physical therapy 2 days later. The physical therapist commented that I was walking very well (with a walker) considering I'd had surgery just 2 days earlier. Post surgery I took recommended doses of OTC painkillers the first night and day and felt no pain. I did not need any painkillers after that. I found Dr. Petrow easy to talk with. He provided clear explanations of what the surgery entailed. Unlike some other reviewers I did not find him to be arrogant or obnoxious. The office is well run and efficient.

He said I obviously needed a knee replacement. He asked me how I was doing with the knee. When I…read morestarted to tell him about the knee pain, he cut me off rudely and told me he knew all about that because he had been a surgeon for so long. "I know all about that; it's what I do; you don't have to tell me about it." Then he started to talk to me about how awesome he was. A short time later, he asked me about my hip replacement. I have never had a hip replacement. He brushed that off real quick, you know because he is so awesome. Very quickly, he told me he could not do the surgery because my BMI was too high and told me to come back when I lost weight. He is rude and caustic. Maybe he is a good surgeon, but I am betting it's hard to get past his personality and god complex to get to the surgery part.

I am no longer a patient. The following review is why i changed medical providers…read more....... Attention new patients: when they say you will not be able to see any other doctor than the one you are originally assigned to, they mean NO matter what. This policy is fine, but they don't even cover each other for vacations or other absences! I understand not allowing patients to just see other doctors as a matter of convenience but i am having trouble walking!! My pain is terrible..... I was instructed to go to the ER, which we all know is NOT the answer because I am not dying. That is what an ER is for. Broken, bleeding or dying. An Orthopedic office is for non emergency issues, like this. Here's what happened...... I've been on the cancellation list for a few weeks. I call on occasion to find out if there's been one, just in case. I always ask if it's okay to call back. The staff is super pleasant. But when they told me this morning that my doc is out of town for the next week+, I asked for an exception because I am in genuine and growing pain. I cannot sleep. Which means I'm fatigued. I have multiple sclerosis and that's a life changer for me. I was even OK with continuing to call next week hoping to get a cancellation but knowing that I have no choice but to live like this for the next week+ because of a "rule" is really upsetting. So yes I believe the policy means more to these people than patient care. I'll be changing my orthopedist which is a bummer because I really like Dr Gonsalvez. His first injections worked well. Thing is, my issue came back with a vengeance and in his absence he has no back up. I think I'd rather go to an office where the doctors work together as a team.

Did not get walker until 5 hours before surgery. Did not send script in for anti biotic for teeth cleaning after surgery. He said how was he to know I was to my teeth cleaned. I had to gag down 4 anti biotic horse pills while laying back in dentist chair. When I asked him for different pain pills he ordered 8(eight) pills one every six hours for 7 days. He said he'd send this script to Costco but after 8 hours found out he sent it to Walgreens. The reason he these things was because I cursed. He said I used profanity. When my knee was killing me I spoke colorfully about the pain. Never directed at anyone!!!! He also said I should have called the office about only getting 8 pills which I did not do because I was embarrassed to be in pain.
