So thankful for Dr Nearpass and this clinic that believes in a holistic, full person approach to…read morehealthcare. The clinic is right on Main Street in Frisco and is both a clinic and a supplement/apothecary shop with Convenient on street parking out front. I cannot remember the last time I had a physician spend over two hours with me to ask questions and get a complete perspective on my health history and current status. She is caring and thorough. After the health review--during which she asked lots of questions about all body systems-- I received a full work up with suggested supplements and foods to add to my diet to support optimum health. I also opted to have blood work done (not here but at local lab). Dr. Nearpass called me herself to give me the results and discuss what those results meant for me. In today's busy world of medicine, i feel so blessed to have found a doctor who takes the time to look at all factors that contribute to overall health--not just treating symptoms. If you are looking for a caring physician willing to support a holistic approach to healthcare, I highly recommend this practice.

I had my fifth shoulder surgery with Dr. Peter Millett in July 2024. It is now March 2026…read more Before that surgery, I had already been through multiple procedures from other surgeons that left my shoulder in a severely compromised state and ultimately forced me to retire from being a professional athlete in my 30s. By the time I found Dr. Millett at the Steadman Clinic, I was already at what I would call a code red -- physically, financially, and mentally. I had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, even with good insurance, trying to fix what had been done to my body. I flew out to see Dr. Millett three separate times, spending thousands more, because I believed I was finally going to someone who would operate with a higher level of care, precision, and commitment to patient outcomes. What I asked for was very clear: I asked him to evaluate and remove the graft placed in 2020 and the BioBrace placed in 2022, because I strongly felt they were causing mechanical issues, inflammation, and long-term wear on my normal tissues. Instead, while I was under anesthesia, Dr. Millett chose to cut my long head of the biceps tendon, despite it being intact and showing no clear clinical signs of pathology. This decision makes no sense to me -- especially given that he knew my short head of the biceps and coracoid had already been compromised in prior surgeries, and that I had ongoing issues related to that anatomy. Rather than addressing the root cause I came to him for, my anatomy was altered again. Now, I'm left with: - A visible deformity in my bicep - Roughly 30-40% loss of strength - Constant pain with quick movements - Pain when lifting, pressing, or even performing basic daily tasks - Persistent popping and clicking in both the front of my shoulder and my shoulder blade - Difficulty with simple things like putting on clothes or carrying groceries Most concerning -- the original issues I came in for were not addressed. I want to be clear about something: I do not blame Dr. Millett for the surgeries done before him. But I do hold him accountable for this: He did not listen to me. After seeing 30-40 orthopedic surgeons over the course of this process, I've noticed a consistent pattern in the field -- a level of ego and overconfidence that often overrides patient input, even when the patient has lived in the body and experienced the problem for years. I understand that surgeons rely on their training and experience. But when a patient is already on their fifth surgery, with a highly complex history, the standard should be higher -- not more aggressive. Another major issue that needs to be acknowledged is the financial structure of orthopedic surgery. This industry generates enormous revenue through procedures, implants, and devices. Patients are rarely made aware of the deeper financial incentives that exist behind the scenes. I am not saying surgeons act with bad intent. But I am saying there is a clear conflict of interest, and patients need to understand that. What concerns me further is that after performing surgery on me, Dr. Millett ultimately referred me to another specialist in Boston. If that level of expertise was needed, I question why that referral didn't happen before I was operated on -- not after. At this point, I am living with the consequences: - Ongoing mechanical dysfunction - Increased pain - Further altered anatomy - And a significant loss in quality of life This review is not written out of anger alone -- it is written to help others. If you are considering surgery: Slow down. Ask more questions. Get multiple opinions. Understand exactly what will be done to your body. Do not assume that experience or degrees or educational institution alone guarantees the right decision. Because once your anatomy is changed, you don't get it back. And never assume that you will come out better. You could be much much worse and then there is nearly nothing you can do about it.

Very thankful for the opportunity to learn from Dr. Peter J. Millett -- a world-renowned shoulder…read moresurgeon, outstanding scholar, dedicated mentor, and true advocate for patients. As an international visiting surgeon, I was deeply inspired not only by his surgical excellence, but also by his innovation, academic vision, and commitment to teaching. The professional, open, and supportive environment he and his team have created made this experience truly meaningful. With sincere gratitude and respect. Looking forward to future collaboration.

I have a recording of a consultation with a Doctor at Panorama Orthopedics where he tells my wife…read moreas plainly as he can (with 3 interns in the room) that nothing, absolutely nothing, could be done for my Wife's shoulders short of complete replacement. We sought a second opinion from Dr. Dorf. Now, Dr. Dorf is a straightforward guy - about as straightforward as they come - but he is also a professional and he didn't bash the previous doctor, but the look of complete puzzlement by this previous diagnosis was difficult for him to hide. He felt he could give immediate relief with a cortisone shot - which he administered himself. The previous doctor told us that even with his 35 years of experience he couldn't get a shot in the right place without ultrasound guidance. Dr. Dorf didn't have this issue. He was confident he could get it in the right place - and he did. Again, the puzzlement was difficult to hide - but no bashing. ;-) After reviewing the MRI provided by Panorama (the same MRI the previous doctor used for his diagnosis) he gave us the opinion that he could scope her shoulders and give her years of less pain and he did not feel that replacement was something that should even be on our radar. She had bone spurs, partially torn rotator cuffs, arthritis, scar tissue. Dr. Dorf "clobbered" the spurs, fixed the cuffs, took out the biceps tendon and cleaned up the rest. Why couldn't the other doctor do that? Perhaps skill has something to do with it. What a difference. Our original diagnosis was disturbing to say the least, but i guess when all you have is a nail, the answer is always a hammer. Dr. Dorf is on a whole different level. To put it bluntly, this guy knows his shit and isn't afraid to do the right thing for his patient - even if that requires some stern advice on recovery from time to time. Additionally his support staff is awesome. Annie in particular was so great. She called us promptly every time we had questions and didn't mess around when it came to making sure my wife was taken care of in the best way possible. My wife also had trapeziectomy on both of her thumbs. the result is 2 thumbs, way up! If you go to Dr. Dorf prepare yourself for great care, great advice and counseling, and most of all - great confidence that the right thing is being done by the right people. Hopefully Dr. Dorf lives forever because we plan to, and we will never use another orthopedic doctor. Thanks Doc. :-)

I was told there was a 97% recovery rate for my condition and that I'd be back to rock climbing and sports in a number of months. However, both the 1st and 2nd surgeries performed by Dr. Paul Abbot completely failed. My strength and mobility plummeted 80% after my treatment at this facility. I was in FAR better health prior to walking into VSON. They ruined my body. Another surgeon did his best to clean it up a couple years later. He gave me some improvement, but 13 years later I am in crippled agony. I've called a few times over the years to plead for some consideration to my outcomes, but they do not care for that. They are of course happy to see me again, restart the process, and give me another enormous bill, but there is no real sympathy or concern shown for how they ruined my athleticism and left me with chronic lifelong pain at the age of 22. Imagine paying tens of thousands of dollars for this outcome. It genuinely keeps me up at night. That and the pain.

That was me, and I liked being me. I had a simple "loose body" in the knee that needed to be removed, it had been bothering me for about a year and was holding me back from training properly, however it started to feel better and I jumped into a handful of races before surgery. I was wondering if i even still needed surgery. I drove out to Vail from Bentonville to see the Dr. He said I still needed surgery, and I trusted him. After all its the Steadman Clinic right. Dr. Matthew Provencher changed my life the day he operated on me, he took from my life. My knee is so messed up that I cant even ride a bike or run or walk that far, less than 2 miles a day is maximum effort. Before I met this man i did 200-300 miles a week for 30plus years. I never had a knee accident and i never had knee surgery before meeting this man. I wont go into details but surgery is the last thing you do, however if you ask a shit surgeon what to do he will say surgery. I believe I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life by listening to this man's medical advice. When i called him back to discuss what was going on with my knee his Team suggested a TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT ???? How do you go from a simple surgery to chopping your leg in two with a saw, stay away from this fucker, his mind is broken. If you want your life to change like mine did then go ahead call this man, pay him well like I did and let him shorten your life and the quality of your life.

After 18 months, 7 surgeries, 1 reverse total shoulder and too many PT sessions to count, I have my shoulder and arm back! Thanks to him I am back on my horse and back on my skis! In short, he gave me my life back. If you find yourself in need of an Orthopedic Surgeon, you cannot do better that Dr Provencher. He is simply the best.
