I will cut straight to the point. Dr Bissell has the most outstanding staff of any pain Mgmt Dr I…read morehave ever been to period. I have seen a few since first being injured in combat in 2004, so I have experienced the full range of being treated like a criminal to a med seeker to a "head case". Then I found Dr Bissell, after retirement from the Army, and his staff. They actually don't "seem" to care, they DO care. The Dr knows me, helped me get down to much safer doses than the VA had me on and he really does care. The staff is VERY understanding caring and kind. Don't get me wrong though, Dr Bissell isn't scared to be straight forward and say the hard things that need to be said. Because he cares. Don't go see him if you are a med seeker, criminal or just want meds for an escape from mental pain. He'll see right through you. This is the best place I have found in the area, so go see him but only if you want to get better and be functional and realize nothing can take all your pain away and are willing to put in more than the Dr to feel as well as you can. It's a two way street.

I'm so glad a friend recommended me to come here. I can't emphasize enough how attentive, caring,…read morekind, and organized this place is. My friend and I have both been extremely happy with the services we have received. One of the best things about coming here is their friendly staff. Mandy, Heather, and Vanessa are some of the sweetest and most caring people people you will find in a doctors office. They're so friendly and really make you feel welcome and comfortable. It's clear they care and really enjoy their job. I don't think there's a better place in the Springs to get the treatment you need. I definitely recommend giving this place a shot. You won't be disappointed!

I just spent the last 8 months here (at least it felt like it). I was recovering from a car…read moreaccident and needed additional treatment so I was referred by my chiropractor. I've heard great things about Orthopedic Rehab in general- they have a lot of locations- this location is really good. My physical therapist was Micah. He is very good. He also does dry needling and I felt like he did very well with that- he explained everything and normalized the process and was in tune and sensitive with how I was handling it. Micah is smart and knows what he is doing. You spend some time with your physical therapist and then have techs and assistants who walk you through your exercises and treatments. Overall I appreciated each one who worked with me. One tech in particular seemed distant and I felt like he shamed me when I arrived at the wrong time for an appointment (I'm not convinced that was my fault) and that really bothered me. But the people working are personable, caring and knowledgable. Their equipment is good and I enjoyed observing the interactions with other patients and among the team. There are TV's in the rehab area and I got a real kick out of how into The Price Is Right the staff seemed each time I was there. :) I had frustrations with scheduling. I think about 30% of the time (and I went A LOT and for A LONG TIME) there were mistakes made with my scheduling- either the day, time, which treatment I was having, or even the therapist I was seeing. I think improvements need to be made in their scheduling system. The front desk staff, especially more recently, are warm and on top of things. This office has recently added services for women's health which I think is awesome. They don't take my insurance (Aetna) but they were fair in their prices which I respected. The owner/manager of this location, Chad, is extremely personable and seems like a good leader. There were some times I felt like the staff were giving up on me, indifferent to me, distracted or maybe even a little uncommitted. I think that could have been because I was a patient longer than most other people, and maybe my own discouragement that I wasn't getting enough better rubbed off on them. Overall, though, my experience was positive and I will highly recommend this location of Orthopedic Rehab.

This place has been such a pleasure to visit. I really enjoy all the staff. They are very flexible…read moreand have a variety of time slots available. I also feel comfortable with my PT therapist. I like that they play music and trust you to walk through your exercises! I would highly recommend this place for PT needs!

This place was easy to find with ample parking near the entrance. I was greeted upon arrival and…read morechecked in promptly; they were not to crowded but, getting their patients in and out in a timely fashion. I waited maybe about 5 minutes before being called to the back for my appointment. Was very nice and polite. She asked all the questions and put everything into my chart. She said Dr. Howarth would be in shortly. I waited about 10/15mins. Dr. Howarth finally came in. He was just as nice as always. We talked about how I was feeling fatigued, the pain in the groin area and the muscle spasms I have at night. We also discussed the physical therapy and how that was going. Let me know to get me some magnesium to help with what I got going on. I'm satisfied with the surgery and everything that has happened so far. So no complaints on my part. I do recommend him to family and friends. I got a chance to see Taneisha on my way out. She's one of the bestest. She made sure durning this process I got to get everything that was needed to help with recovery and healing... All I Can say is his staff "ROCKS"!!! Keep up the good work ladies:-)

My wife got so ill, I had to take her to the emergency room. The emergency room doctor; Dr. Crawford; ran tests and indicated the joint looked infected. He called in the standby surgeon to open the wound, clean it out and do a revision (Replace the socket lining and the ball. My wife had to spend five days in St. Francis hospital recovering and was placed on infusion treatments for six weeks after discharge. She just completed the forth week. This has been a nightmare for Suzanne and I. We don't know what the outcome will be. Type of care was poor. Quality was poor. Office experience gave us the impression that the staff could careless. If I had not taken her to the ER and waited until the delayed post OP follow up, the infection could have gone into her blood stream and infected her whole body. This is what the nurse who helped with the procedure that confirmed the infected hip.
