I saw Dr. Matheson today for knee pain ( arthritis in my knees). I quite liked her, she smiled,…read moredid an examination and explained everything as she went. she chose a medication that was expensive but seemed to do the trick for me. how long it will last I don't know and am not sure I could afford too many treatments. she was very pleasant and has made a phone appointment with me for six weeks. I am very happy I got in to see her. my knees feel better. she did not recommend surgery at this time. apparently you cannot book in the future when you are doing pretty well today . thank you Dr. Mathis for giving me so much of your time today I felt good about seeing you .

I have now had two separate injuries that I ended up at rebalance for. The time it was for my…read moreshoulder, I waited almost to years to see Dr Zorzor to get surgery on it. Then finally I get to see him, he walks in the room says hes not going to do surgery on it, I say so you are telling me I won't be able to work? Im right handed and my shoulder was keeping me from being able to do much. He said i didn't say that and left the room. ( I did get surgery but needed to go to the mainland) Then recently I saw Dr DuPreez who put a bunch of incorrect information on his report, stating I said the opposite of what i told him. I've repeatedly ask for it to be corrected but have been ignored

I'm new to the area and didn't know where to go. I was able to get in pretty quickly. The care I…read morereceived was top notch from the physician to the front staff. I ended up needing surgery and Dr. West adjusted his schedule to get me in sooner than later. They went above and beyond for me. I will always appreciate that. I would recommend Liberty Knee Center to anyone needing knee care.

The office staff is so friendly and welcoming. I have never went to a specialist that spends…read morequality time with his patients. I did not feel rushed with the questions I had. And the explanation was explained so someone with no medical background would understand. I understand that with orthopedics there is emergencies so I had no issues him running a little late. The MA let me know how long he was running behind. This doctor takes pride in the care he gives his patients, and would chose this office again!!!

Excellent medical care from this doctor! He performed my ankle surgery after I broke some bones and…read moremonitored my recovery all the way through. He listens and is attentive to the needs of his patients. His hopeful outlook brings a calming sense to the whole process, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend his services, and I will use him again in the future if the need arises.

I went in to see Dr. Christopher Boone at Bellevue Bone and Joint Physicians (BBJP) regarding…read moreswelling in my knee which had been replaced via a total knee replacement l5 years ago. After Dr. Boone x-rayed my knee, he determined that the swelling was due to the uneven wear of the original plastic spacer, in my knee which he indicated needed to be replaced. Dr. recommended that a MRI be performed so he could "study" what the best options were. After Dr. Boone presented the options, he recommended that the plastic spacer in the original knee replacement be surgically removed and replaced as well as the removal of 3 cysts around the knee joint. The surgery performed required opening up my knee just like in the original knee placement procedure to have access to the knee prosthesis and the plastic spacer. The surgery results were excellent. Ten (10) days after the surgery, I was able to return to my Bike Spinning Classes. Dr. Boone is an outstanding Orthopedic Surgeon. I give him my highest recommendation. Lynn Caldwell 12/2017

I am a retired cop with 30 years of service. I definitely got a bit beat up on the job…read more Over the last two years I have had severe back pain and atrophy in my right leg, with numbness all the way to my foot and into my groin. I was told by an anesthesiologist treating me nerves in my lower back are being compressed. He did not say how. I have done PT, yoga and injections to no avail. I don't smoke, I am not overweight and I am in good shape otherwise. That said, my condition has progressively worsened. I was referred to Dr. Hoekema by the doctor who gave me injections in my back. As it turns out, Hoekema does not see people until he sees an MRI, even with a doctor's referral. I sent him the MRI I had just gotten. After waiting weeks, my Primary Care Physician contacted me and told me Hoekema would not see me because he did not think he could do anything for me. I got no consultation, no physical eval and most importantly...no explanation of what exactly is going on with my back and what to expect as I move forward. This is not my first rodeo when it comes to back issue back issues. I have been to three orthopedic surgeons over the years. They each examined me, reviewed MRIs with me, told me what the mechanical issues were and gave me their diagnosis and recommendations. Two times I avoided surgery and one I did not. Reviews of Hoekema make it seem like he is a bit of a jerk. Heck....the doctor who referred me implied he was. My experience (or lack thereof) with the good doctor does not do anything to contradict that. Frankly, someone needs to remind the good doctor he exists to care for patients. Shame on Peace Health for taking "care" out of Healthcare and thank you UW Med for giving me an appointment with a surgeon in a timely manner. Maybe I don't need surgery....maybe I do, but I expect the doctor there will tell me what exactly is going on with my back and recommend a path forward instead of just blowing me off.
