I met with Dr. Paulson to discuss a second opinion and he was very pushy about having surgery and…read morebad mouthed the other surgeon (who I really liked) that I went to originally. Dr. Paulson isn't board certified in anything and my wife asked him about if he failed his board exams (she is a nurse) and he became very defensive and argumentative. Didn't go with him for surgery and did not leave his office with a good feeling about him.

I just had the best experience I've ever had with an orthopedic surgeon. I consider myself somewhat…read moreknowledgeable in this area as I've had 15 orthopedic surgeries to date. I have a shoulder surgery coming up in December and was told by a spine surgeon that I needed a pretty extensive spinal surgery. He really didn't explain too much just let's get it scheduled. I decided to get another opinion. I had several people refer me to Dr. Paulson so I scheduled an appointment. I had that appointment this morning. WOW, Dr. Paulson was absolutely amazing. He went over my imaging with me, went into detail of what was going on with my back. Dr. Paulson drew diagrams and explained in great detail of what he thought needed to be done. He also said it wasn't emergent and ordered additional imaging. I can't begin to explain how refreshing it was to have a doctor take the time and go into such detail of what was going on with me. I highly recommend Dr. Paulson, he was like a breath of fresh air.

OPA has been pretty great to me…read more Dr Patricia Fox is lovely. She's smart, she's kind, she has a charming southern-tinged accent, and a great bedside manner. She's great at explaining to me what's going on every step of the way. I fractured a shoulder and a wrist back in May and she has made this painful and complex process simple and comfortable. Why not 5 stars? The company that handles the X-rays in here is unethnical. They'll send you to collections over the drop of a hat. I had a bill for like $30 that I wasn't aware of....it was about 16 days old and I got a letter from collections about it. They have since apologized and corrected the issue but...Ih have many more X-ray's and CT's in my future, so I won't up the rating until I get through all of those without additional nasty-grams from collections.

We're pretty limited with specialists in Alaska, luckily OPA's been good to us thus far…read more They're pretty centrally located across from north rim bank on lake Otis. Their parking is limited for such a huge building with large staff. That's a definite complaint but not a deal breaker. Most of the staff we've encountered have been ultra helpful, welcoming, and most importantly, knowledgeable. Some appointments have felt very "assembly line," but for the most part, any concerns we've brought up seem to be received well. X-rays are completed each appointment we've had. Equipment and medical room areas always look clean and professional. We especially appreciate their walk in injury clinics. Very convenient. Staff encountered working those special hours have been efficient and patient. We look forward to continuing our care here.

However despite completing intake paperwork and everything before hand, my appointment was supposed to be at 2pm. They asked me to come in at 1:30pm. I arrive on time. I did not need to complete additional paperwork outside of two pages of Covid questionnaires. Someone came in and waited 15 minutes and was seen as I was here for my appointment on time, and have been waiting almost an hour. My appointment time comes and go.. I had to approach the front desk and ask when I was going to be seen.. 30 minutes past my original appointmen Their office has a bunch of advertisements for different medication to take like they're a marketing office, and seems like they are really big on pushing medication. Patient privacy is lacking. Walls are thin and you can hear providers talking and laughing.

Total turn-around as finally office "got the message/realized" how dismal they were to patients.

Please anyone that was discouraged , demeaned in the past do pay another visit or call and talk to the new office manager or just walk in the office and you will see/feel the improvements from the moment you approach the double doors!

Dr. Brian Miller was my surgeon and…read moreafter a really long recovery, I can finally say that I am no longer in pain and the surgery was a success. My specific injury was severe, my surgery didn't go specifically as planned and it was labeled as an emergency surgery. I wasn't given the option to wait due to the possibility of further injury, which looking back, I am grateful that the surgeon decided on this. Living in Kodiak, I had to fly back and forth for all appointments and the staff at Apex was SO helpful with this. The interior of their office is beautiful and welcoming and everyone there was always so warm and nurturing, which meant a lot to me since I was truly nervous and in pain. Unfortunately, I had to spend a lot more time here than I originally expected, but couldn't have asked for a better overall experience based on the staff and the precision of Dr. Miller.
