HALLELUJA! I anticipated the possibility of rotator cuff surgery with a year of recovery …read more.. completely unacceptable with my vigorous sports and limited years to keep at them. Instead, I got a simple, non-eventful, no-brainer, painless injection providing 80% improvement within hours and over 90% over the next couple of days. An injection may be effective for months ... a highly individual and unpredictable process well worth trying under certain circumstances. Repeated injections can in many cases be reasonably safe if not overdone. I know now what movement to eliminate from my weight lifting protocol, so I hope to be able to avoid a repeat and let it heal properly. Now, about Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates. After an initial appointment date miscommunication, they've been very good to work with. Their friendly people, quick appt availability, and prompt response to followup questions have been very encouraging. As for Dr. Dworkin, his bio/resume is very impressive. He has worked as a surgeon with challenging responsibilities around the world in and beyond the military, and has published several shoulder research papers. His qualifications look outstanding; look them up on and beyond their website. He is personable and encouraging, but I hope never to have to find out first hand whether he's a superior surgeon. What I DO know is that he was not overeager to do what many surgeons most love to do: get out their tool kit. Overall, my entire experience with BFOA and Dr. Dworkin has been very encouraging.

I visited Benton Franklin ortho for hand issues for which the doctor prescribed some medication…read more However the doctor didn't send the prescription to the pharmacy. I called and could not get through and then i called back and was told to call back later if it didn't arrive at the pharmacy. So far its been a wasted trip to the doctors office. Apparently I have to remind them over and over to get the prescription sent to the pharmacy. They actually asked me to call back after 3 and remind them to send it in... So I called back and no one answers the phone again.

So I provided all my records to kadlec in person as I guess emailing is too difficult for some. After review evidently these surgeons are not capable of doing the surgery. I'm extremely disappointed, yet grateful they admitted they couldn't do it, instead of butchering my hand. It would however make me question their skill levels in general.

I also just did my 3rd pre-op appt. there n it was a same day appointment within 2hrs of my appointment with dr Steven's they had me in there! the nurses are so sweet n the front office staff as well.. I stopped at the receptionist on my way out n told her I needed to pay my bill from my last surger n she asked me how much n I said all of it cuz I got a letter saying it could go to collections n she looked it up n was so discreet discussing my bill with me cuz we were in an open area with people all around. love love love the doc (dr Stevens)n his staff n everything about this place as well!

Unfortunately at this time I have to report noncompliance with the government's service dog…read moreregulations per ADA. They stated that their 'company policy' does not allow service animals for PTSD which is in direct opposition of the way the law is written. In addition to being confronted at my therapy appointment, I was called later for a lecture and issue was taken over frivolous matters - things that have never been an issue in 15+ years with my EXTREMELY well-behaved service dog. In addition to their unlawful policy, I feel harassed and discriminated against; the opposite of what a patient would hope to experience when needing injury care. https://www.ada.gov/resources/service-animals-2010-requirements/

The guy has some a seriously terrible bedside manner, but he is really good at what he does, so it all cancels out. Dr. Hales is _the_ hand expert in TriCities, so if your hand is ailin', come see this guy. He took great care of my broken finger--it healed like it had never snapped into 3 pieces, all without surgery. He managed to squeeze me in as an emergency about an hour after I got x-rayed at and sent on from the urgent care center. When it came time for surgery to release a trigger finger, he squeezed me in to accomodate my crazy schedule on extremely short notice. On top of that, he did an amazing job of making the incision in the crease in my palm so that it's barely visible. I'm still amazed about the lack of pain, speed of recovery, and return to 100% use/normalcy. Woo!
