Dr. John Steedman Jr and Total Hip arthroplasty ( replacement)…read more It only took me 3 years of hip and back pain, multiple hospital surgical and orthopedic surgeon researches, in attempts to identify the lowest rate of hospital surgical-related Staphylococcus and Streptococcus infections. The pain was debilitating at times. As a hospital- based healthcare professional, I knew surgery was unavoidable if I wanted to live pain-free, while the risks of hospital born infection was more than I was willing to take. In my research of top orthopedic surgeons I wish I had extended my search from King Co to Pierce Co years earlier, while I am grateful that I listened to my fears and doubts and I did not go with the first orthopedic surgeon's recommendation! I cannot say enough about the care received by Dr. Steedman and his entire team leading up to and throughout surgery. Surgery in their facility was far safer than a large hospital setting, fewer risks of human oversight and life-threatening risks. Going home the same day, taking a total of 3 Tylenol in my recovery, walking 3600 steps within a week - and a minimally visible scar 8 weeks later. I haven't felt this great in YEARS!!!! Top influencers for me, leading to my initial consultation, included Dr Steedman's education at John Hopkins and.a US News favorable (5 stars) review. Dr. Steedman (as well as his entire staff) were all professional, kind, patient, and thorough, with not only providing all the information I needed to prepare for surgery, but answering all of my questions as well. Follow up appointments have all been equally meaningful. He even provides his cell number to patients for ANY concerns that arise within the first 48 hours emphasizing, "anytime, day or night" and that included a weekend following my surgery. Words cannot express how thankful and grateful I am for doing my research and receiving the best medical care a person could hope for! SSC

Dr. Spencer Coray, Morgan and Alex make a formidable team! Each address specific aspects of patient…read morecare...and they do a beautiful job, individually and as a team. I've been in their care for the better part of a year. Knee issues, requiring steroid injections and finally the need for a full knee replacement. It is now three weeks post-surgery and, according to my team and my Physical Therapist, I am making excellent progress. The surgical scar is impressively short, straight and healing nicely. I can now bend my knee to 90 degrees, with plans to go well beyond that in the coming weeks. I went into this with the expectation that I would be up and about the day of surgery, that I would tackle PT with specific weekly goals in mind and, with the help of my team, would manage the inevitable pain and any unforeseen setbacks. Together, we've done just that. Alex is wonderfully efficient. She, as my main point of contact, ensures that any issues I have are communicated to the right people, appointments are scheduled and prescriptions are refilled in a timely manner. Morgan, Dr. Coray's PA, has been my main point of medical contact post-surgery (so far). She was in attendance during surgery, so she "knows" my knee. Morgan carefully examined the surgical site during my initial follow-up appointment and is happy with progress. Dr. Coray has the quiet demeanor of a skilled, competent surgeon - one who has done this for many years. I liked him immediately. We went over my tests and x-rays, the various alternatives to treatment, and jointly arrived at a plan going forward. No rush, no pressure - he listened carefully and answered all my questions. Bottom line: I highly recommend Dr. Coray and his team. In fact, my left knee will likely require the same surgery in the coming months, and there's no question who will be doing it.

I am coming up on the end of this journey with Dr Smith and Puget Sound Orthopedics, but all things…read moreconsidered they have made it as good of an experience as a foot broken in 3 places with a full ligament tear could possibly be. Rewind back in June 2023 when the ER in Tacoma sent me home with a compression wrap and an ice pack and told me nothing major was wrong - then after night of excruciating pain my sister drove me an hour north to the Proliance Orthopedic Walk-in up in Tukwila (separate review - also a great experience, all things considered)... it was there they confirmed that there was at LEAST one break and wanted me to get an MRI as soon as possible, and once my MRI confirmed my triple-fracture and also identified the ligament tear I went looking for PSO. Look up a Lisfranc injury. It's usually sports, mine was just bad luck. I identified Dr Gavin Smith as an Orthopedic Podiatrist and Surgeon who seemed like a great fit. He took my case very seriously from the very start, they fit me in as quickly as possible, and once he got my MRI results he took the time to recommend both a surgical and non-surgical route for treatment - being clear the non-surgical did have a higher likelihood of issues from incorrect healing later on - but was genuine and clear that he was supportive of whichever route I chose. Once I chose surgical (which was 4 steel screws to be inserted into my Lisfranc region to stabilize and allow the injuries to heal properly for 12 weeks, then a final surgery to remove the screws with 4-6 weeks of additional recovery time). This sounded like torture but I was determined to see it through. I was right - it was sort of torture. There was a lot of pain and a lot of annoying times I couldn't do what I wanted to or I'd have to do the things a lot more slowly but I made it to my final surgery... now we are in the recovery window and I am 7 days post-op and starting to walk free of any aides and it's glorious. Yay! I can't wait to get my final sutures out and make my way back to full function - I am so grateful to Dr Gavin Smith. He has an excellent "bedside manner" - he is kind and personable but doesn't sugarcoat anything. He's incredibly knowledgeable and well-versed in his field and also super kind. I would recommend him in a heartbeat and if myself or any of my loved ones need an orthopedic podiatrist his office will be my first call. The staff here at PSO is also great - they run on time almost every time. I've only had one appointment where we ran late and they offered to reschedule me if I could not wait. The office is very clean, parking is readily available and free, and the check-in process is very smooth, especially if you check in ahead on your phone!
