So, I asked someone I know and trust who they would recommend for a somewhat complicated foot surgery (my second), and this person wholeheartedly recommended Dr. Hunt.

I had an incredibly positive surgery experience!

Woke up after first surgery and 9 screws. 2 weeks later after my first check in appt, got a blood infection. Week in the hospital and another surgery to clean the incisions. Was doing great, healing up and one of the screws broke free and wanted to popup out of my foot. Third surgery, "they do that sometimes" . Healing up after that and start having a bone pushing down in the arch of my foot. This caused a sore to develop. Another surgery, "15 min on my table and it will take care of it" all these surgeries, the sore is back, i cant move my foot correctly and its not aligned right. sore is back again and I am looking for someone ti fix it right!

"Woohoo. As good as it gets!" doesn't really sound very medical as a review phrase for an…read moreorthopedic surgeon, does it? I mean it's not like when you need such a person you're gonna Yelp it all up and celebrate your wonderful experience, right? However, 80% of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their life, and medical treatment for such problems is estimated to cost $25 billion annually. (Workers comp costs and time lost from work add another $25 billion.) http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/industries/health/2006-10-16-back-pain-usat_x.htm. So the bottom line is that we all should get to become experts about 1) not just how to avoid getting these kinds of problems, but 2) what to do about it when you experience them (which 4 out of 5 of us will). Having squished a disc while moving boxes a couple of weeks ago, I'm here to tell you the answer: go see Dr. Wong. His group (Denver Spine Surgeons) rocks, and has rocked the spinal micro-surgery and treatment world in the Rocky Mountain West for a long time. Of course everyone's different, and you should do your own research about who best meets your needs. But for me, I've found my treatment provider and it's DSS, without a doubt. Now go out there and be careful (unlike me), and more importantly, be smart.

Today, I had an appointment at 1PM to take X-ray of my lower spine and then, 30 minutes later to see a Medical Assistant. After waiting for 50 minutes, I was told by a Nurse, the Doctor will see me soon. I question this, since I suppose to have X-ray first. Nurse lied to me, telling me that Doctor (I was scheduled to see Medical Assistant) changed his/her mind and will see me soon. After waiting for I hour without X-Ray and without seeing Doctor or a Medical Assistant, I left the Facility. Dr. Richard Z.

That way you could decide if you want to wait that long.

Pre-op nurses- 5star! Surgeon- (Dr Schneider) 5star!…read morePost op staff and facilities- 3 stars, average nursing- some good, some not so much.. But the real problem... Anesthesia- minus 10!!! The encounter I experienced with anesthesiologist Dr Woodward who had My Life in his hands... was horrific. I did not feel safe!!!!! A horrible feeling while completely vulnerable. His ego, OMG. I hope the hospital HR reads this and contacts me. No call from anesthesia night prior- even tho I was told they would contact me- I had concerns, and questions. When I tried to have a pre-op conversation with DR Woodward, He shut me down repeatedly. All he cared about was my signature. Hurry up! Sign this. He just wanted to start. Seriously an absolute traumatic awful feeling. He was barking at the pre op nurse to hurry up with my IV. She was clearly rattled by him. My IV "blew". I complained. She made the decision to start another. He was clearly pissed at her decision and let me know "there is nothing sharp, nothing is hurting you". (As if at 66 years old I didn't know what an IV should feel like?") The second one started to hurt before it was in, now he got really pissed- he repeated his "nothing sharp statement", (I'd love to kick him in his testicular place and tell him it should not hurt because there is nothing sharp!" The nurse was trying her best to hurry under his command. Then he grabbed the mask. He couldn't bother with my needs. He just wanted to shut me up. He put me out! From the time he first introduced himself to the time he knocked me out- 6 minutes tops! Before the IV. In the pre-op room!! WTF???? I verbally told him I was anxious. My chart shows PTSD. I was actually crying! His action was far from "STANDARD of CARE"! He provided none of the bedside courtesy such as-"I'm doing this, next is this."----- Did I forget all this when I woke up? Nope! It is seared in my memory. Dear Dr Woodward- I am a kind person with a soul, not simply a case number and YOU did me very very wrong!! VERY VERY WRONG!!! I pray for GOD to touch you and help you understand how your negligent actions affect others. I deserved respect. I deserved kindness. I received neither. Maybe you should consider another line of work. The shoulder block you rushed to do was incorrectly placed numbing my diaphragm thus sending me home on oxygen (Your skill falls very short of your elevated ego). As I came out of anesthesia I I heard you tell the OR nurse that my heart rate dropped to 30 so u gave me a medication to correct this. I reported hearing this to my husband because it was concerning. I just read the surgical anesthesia report you prepared. You falsified the record indicating my heart rate fell to 40 not 30. You going to tell me I misheard?? Nope! I believe falsely documenting medical records is a crime!! I've had many (5) major surgeries including anesthesia. I'm fully educated on what a Standard of Care should be.
