Dr. Chun He is very knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. I wish all the doctors I work with had his bedside manner. I never felt like he was talking down to me or dumbing down any explanations. My rotator cuff orthoscopic surgery went well. The scars healed very nicely and the pain wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Even my husband who isn't a fan of doctors was impressed with how smoothly the whole process went. De. Chun works out of 2 convenient locations with ample free parking. I've been working with Liz to schedule my appointments and they've been responsive and helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend Dr. Chun and I'm very bummed to have to find a new doctor once I move.

Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement performed by Dr Kyle Chun, Orthopedic Associates.
Jeff F.

For decades, I suffered with the after-effects of a hairline fracture of my right shoulder that occurred during a high school basketball tournament back in...well, when I was a high school freshman. I'm 69 years old now. Being your typical high school athlete/idiot, I didn't realize the seriousness of the original injury and began throwing with my right arm since baseball season was starting up and I was one of our high school's pitchers. I figured the soreness would just work itself out. Wrong. It became worse, which, of course, only convinced the high school me to throw harder. I finally threw my arm out of socket - which then began a series of shoulder dislocations. Think: Mel Gibson's character in the Lethal Weapon movies. I would be slipping a shirt over my head, and sneeze - then the shoulder would pop out. Putting the joint back into place required me to writhe on the ground like a dying fish, or bump my shoulder up against a wall until I forced it into place. Needless to say, this chronic dislocation caused me severe pain and royally screwed up my shoulder ligaments. In 1969, I had my first surgery to reattach ligaments to limit the movement of my right arm...dashing my dreams of being a pitcher or quarterback for my high school. Flash forward to early November, 2019, after I had tried all types of "non-surgical solutions" in a failed search for pain relief including acupuncture, NSAIDs like Naprosen, and all manner of topical creams and gels (and cannabinoids, of course). I had a brief consultation with Dr. Gary Blum, of Orthopedic Associates, and after he examined some x-rays, he exclaimed, "You're a perfect candidate for shoulder replacement." He seemed too eager, so I tried to get another opinion from Dr. Darryl Kan, also in that office. Dr. Kan said that he refers all shoulder patients to Dr. Kyle Chun. OK, so I went to see Dr. Kyle Chun. When I met with Dr Kyle Chun, he listened to my medical history, examined the x-rays and then ordered an MRI scan so he could see the condition of the joint more clearly. When he came into the exam room, he stood at the doorway, placed his hands on his hips, and exclaimed, "That's the worst I've ever seen!" I told him that I've been working on it for the last 50 years so I wouldn't expect it to be in "like new" condition anymore. We laughed. Dr. Chun got serious and told me that - if we do this - he expects that there isn't enough bone remaining in the scapula to support an anatomical Total Shoulder Replacement (TSR). If that's the case, he would insert a *Reverse* TSR - where the joint ball would be placed into the scapula and the joint cup into my arm. I told him that I wanted to do this because I didn't want to continue suffering with this shoulder. Stage 4 osteoarthritis is no fun, especially if you have to live with it for another 10-20 years. We scheduled the procedure for early March, 2020 - just before the freeze on all elective procedures was put into place. The procedure lasted about 2 1/2 hours. Dr. Chun told me afterward that, "It was super tight in there." But the x-ray that he took immediately after the procedure showed it to be a complete success (see image). It took me several weeks to realize that my shoulder would not dislocate if I moved it into angles that - for decades previously - I avoided because of the pain and fear of the joint dislocating. I'm writing this review five months after the procedure was done. I'm still going to physical therapy (with Ken Morimoto of Holomua Physical Therapy), but the shoulder joint is working perfectly. I've regained far more range of motion that I ever thought possible, and am looking forward to playing my first round of golf this coming weekend! If you are living with shoulder pain, don't delay - consult with Dr. Kyle Chun if you are considering TSR. His youthful appearance belies the deep knowledge and extensive experience he has in this area of medical specialization. He is hands-down the only orthopedic surgeon I would recommend if you are considering a shoulder replacement procedure.

Dr. Chun & I spoke briefly about my shoulder. He explained the procedure & I felt confident about having him do the surgery.

I first visited Bennett Clinic in December 2022 after a fresh and more thorough look at my spinal…read morex-rays I had taken back in CA in 2017 revealed that I had two fused vertebrae in my thoracic. My first meeting with Dr. Nash came via a consultation I had booked, in which I was initially intend on trying the spinal decompression. However, in initially meeting with Dr. Nash and showing him my x-rays, he didn't recommend spinal decompression to me, because it's not covered by insurance and would cost me $2,000 per session)! What a refreshing surprise to find a Chiropractor who was not "all about the money", which lead me to returning for my new patient consultation in December. Work and the snowy condition (I have a motorcycle) have prevented me from returning, but I hope too soon!

A good chiropractor is worth his/her weight in gold. When I…read morethrew out my pelvis and couldn't walk without a lot of pain and with the aid of a cane, Dr. Nash knew exactly what the issue was and how to fix it. I felt instant relief after the first session but I went for 3 just to be on the safe side, and he told me I should be good to go. (My first chiropractor told me decades ago that a good chiropractor can fix anything with just a few sessions, and to avoid anyone who tells a patient to keep coming back because he/she's a quack). Dr. Nash and the Bennett Clinic is the real thing. I'm back to playing sports and am grateful that he's given me my normal lifestyle back.

When I came back up to prescott I got a knee replacement from another Doctor here and had a bad experience. So another medical professional suggested I should go see Dr. Williams again and he help me so much and doesn't just want to rush me into another Knee Replacement. After studying my Xrays carefully he stated that he wanted to try a more conservative approach with some shots to calm down the pain and clean all the junk out of my knee. Then he suggest looking into a lesser surgery on my knee. His whole staff is great and I love his more conservative approach to helping me!

When I first broke my kneecap, I went to Dr. Chun at Granite Ortho. He was rude and arrogant from the first visit. He did repair my broken patella. Sadly, two weeks later, my patella repair rebroke. The surgeon did not want to repair my kneecap a second time. He actually refused and said it would heal itself. Well, that, sadly, was not the case. Dr. Chun is no longer with Granite Ortho. Dr. Pifer required an MRI of my knee. Now, he believes that it is best to leave it as is for the next three years until the arthritis begins to cause noticeable discomfort. At that time, he will do a complete knee replacement. Today, Dr. Pifer gave me a steroid shot to ease the pain. My knee now feels fine. It still looks a mess, but it is working, and I can climb stairs with only mild discomfort rather than extreme pain. He indicated that the average time could be from 2 to 5 years without pain. Lastly, Dr. Pifer has prescribed a course of rehabilitation, something my 1st dr. did not even suggest.
