Holy catfish! What a super day and super experience going under the knife of Dr. Behm. Heavy…read morekudos to him, his office staff, his physician assistant and the surgery department of Marcus Daly Hospital here in Hamilton, Montana. This was a very positive and excellent experience in all respects. WARM BLANKETS and lots of introductions and briefings along with getting IV fluids started and then into surgery itself. More introductions and now anti-biotic drip plus oxygen. I wanted to see the arthroscopic knee operation so opted for a spinal block rather than being knocked out on anesthesia. What an experience that I now have in-common with women who had epidurals during delivery of their children. The numbness was an absolute absence of feeling from the lower back down. Simply amazing. As a note, I have had continual and significant back pain as a souvenir of my Vietnam infantry combat tour and 20 year Army career and for the first time in over 40 years I felt no pain in the back. I really enjoyed those few hours without pain. After a lot of scrubbing and prep from a cast of supporting characters in the OR, Dr. Behm made the incisions and inserted a variety of "tools" or "probes" which cut away cartilage and sucked away the debris. He told me what he was doing and answered my questions as I watched the same color TV screen that he was watching. Absolutely fascinating and I felt nothing except for the shaking of the table as he moved my leg around to expose other areas of the knee joint for his repair work. In 45 minutes we were done and I went to recovery where more warm blankets were laid upon me and I awaited the return of much of the feeling to my legs. That was about an hour and then back to the pre-surgery room where I had to take in more fluids and void before I could be released. Mary the receptionist had cookies and the nursed brought juices while my wife and I, and passing nurses, chatted and waited. Finally the two liters of IV were successful and I was discharged. I have no concerns about the upcoming right knee operation and will opt for the spinal and TV again. Pretty neat experience.

I went in today to get my left knee checked out, it's been giving me pain since a bad ankle injury…read moreten years ago. I was thoroughly impressed with Dr. David Nolan. He got the backstory of the injury right away and he listened well and was a personable guy. Then he pulled out a knee model and showed me how a normal knee works and what roles the different tendons play, then showed what my knee was doing and explained what I can do to fix it before we decide on an MRI and a knee scope. Two thumbs up!

Dr. Michael Belkowski is one of a kind when it comes to a multi-therapeutic approach for athletes,…read moreand individuals of all activity levels seeking rehabilitation to their bodies from intense training to everyday wear down from day to day body mechanics. Not only is he a very educated in physical therapy, he also is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and optimal use of nutrients in our bodies. If he had a motto it would be "work smarter, not harder" in all aspects of exercise, training, and eating. He himself walks the walk in training and fueling his body with optimal nutrition. He is the first and ONLY practitioner in Montana using BFR (Blood Flow Resistance) Training- yet another method that will change the game for many athletes and weight lifters to train smarter and save their joints/ligaments/muscles from always being in a state of recovery. It is easy to say we will both be seeing Dr. Belkowski for many many years down the road for our recovery therapies and BFR training. This is a very rare specialty to have such a trained and knowledgeable individual in Montana state.

I have had the opportunity to benefit from this clinic and these professionals for over 15 years…read more I have had the chance to work with Robert, Aric and Ragna and never disappointed. Their professionalism, level of skill and training, ease of communication with clients as well as modesty and working amongst each other is unrivaled. They care deeply about making people comfortable but also better! They truly care! My injuries have ranged in severity and across all areas of my body and they have always been able to more accurately and efficiently diagnose then most of the other medical professionals I have seen. They are a one stop shop in that sense... cut out the many middle people and do it right the first time. BILL(ing)! That feared "4 letter word". Not to worry, you've got Pam crushing it behind the scenes. She's dealt with my multitude of insurance coverages as well as my one worker comp issue, and I am never left wondering or without a seat when the music ends. It's taken care of very well and explained even better. She's many steps ahead of the insurance companies which makes life and dealing with this stuff easier. Laura up front is also a charm and a treat. She's the conductor during appointments making everyone comfortable and at ease. I never feel left out or alone in the lobby or when coming and going from the office. She's got a great sense of what needs to be done and how. She's easy to work with and a charm. I know that AXIS has moved and grown over the years, but I can say that it has always been very beneficial and wonderful for all. That's not always the case, but this quality trio has doubled plus in size with equally amazing and quality people all working side by side bettering our Missoula livelihood. I hear equally amazing stories about the rest of the group, though I have yet to work with them. I'd be honored though!! I can't thank them enough. I can't recommend them more!!! These are no longer just people working to make me feel better, they have become friends that i know have my "back", my knees, shoulders, arms and all the rest! Thank you!!
