Every person I dealt with at this office was very kind and helpful. I was a bit late but they did not make me feel rushed. The nurse, and the X-ray techs were very efficient and explained everything they were doing. Dr. Kohring was extremely helpful and informative and showed me what she was going to do and let me know what to expect after surgery. I would recommend this office to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about the team here. They got me scheduled to meet with Dr. Powers only 3 days after my emergency room trip, and the surgery was scheduled just 4 days after that. Dr. Powers did an amazing job of explaining the procedure to me and answering any questions I had. The whole staff was kind and compassionate, and made me feel at ease the whole time.

Long time customer of Northwest orthopedics safe to say that I would not let anybody do surgery on me but Northwest orthopedics I got to experience Ty Winder. He is the physicians assistant for Dr. Kody. Very good bedside manner communicates well definitely understood where I was coming from answered the questions that I had which were very few he's very considerate knowing that I do not want to have the surgery until later this year. Will communicate with him again in August to get my MRI completed hopefully surgery around the end of October.

During my first visit, I was very impressed by the knowledge, efficiency and friendly attitude displayed by the administrative personnel. The medical support team had the same happy and engaged demeanor. I finally met an personable orthopaedist that answered my questions and listened to my opinions. I was given choices of treatment instead of being told I must do surgery NOW. How refreshing!

I have always been so impressed with how friendly the staff has been. They are all so happy, and live their jobs. The front desk was quick and friendly. The medical staff from the medical assistance, X-ray and the PA were very professional, kind, thorough and gave me great advice on how to move forward. Highly recommend Northwest Orthopedic specialists to anyone needing help with their joints.

Tod Fleming was courteous, friendly & fantastic. I was a bit nervous about injections in my shoulder, but was surprised when he was all done. Very little pain. All the staff were friendly and I can honestly say that my appointment was the most efficient trip I have ever made to a doctors office; ever!

I saw Mark Buescher PA and he was spent time with me going over my issue and the MRI and my options. And we ended up with a plan going forward, and that relieved my mind about my condition. Thank you for your professionalism and compassion for your patients. I feel better finally knowing what my issue is, and how to fix it.

Dr Kody is easily the best doc I've ever worked with. I needed shoulder surgery and after doing some research made an appointment to see him. His reputation among health care workers is stellar and virtually everyone I talked to recommended him. He is quite busy and you have to be patient if you chose him. He's professional, personable, and is definitely patient oriented.

He gave me his cell # and told me to text him if I had any problems after surgery. That's above and beyond. I'm an RN with 40 years of experience and docs like Kody are a rare breed. If you can choose him to be your surgeon, don't hesitate

My first time meeting David. An overwhelmingly positive experience. He explained thoroughly the condition I saw him for. Also, explained very well possible treatment options; we were able to easily come to an agreement on the best option. All my questions were answered. I look forward to a continuation in our patient/provider relationship in the future.

I was VERY impressed the moment I walked in. The friendliness and helpfulness of everyone was just over and above! Dr. Lynch has such a presence of putting you at ease and knowing you are in good hands. An extremely efficient and cheerful place. If ever you have an orthopaedic health issue, this is definitely the place to go!

I saw Michael Dieter & Soren Olson for a hip injury I reaggravated last winter. MRI showed a labral tear in my hip that they recommended cleaning up with a minor scope. For my first operation ever, I had a traumatizing experience. To begin, I was given barely 48 hours for an estimated time of check-in that proceeded to be delayed multiple hours. By the time I was actually operated on it must have been 3-4 hours of waiting around with minimal communication. Post-procedure I was given minimal wound care directions, no prescription for my pain, and my driver was called hours too early for my pick up. Poorly organized if you ask me.they had no problem charging my insurance $7,500 right on time however.

My recovery process was even worse. They expressed I can do whatever I want as long as it doesn't cause discomfort. Everything caused me discomfort for at least a month and had no real noticeable recovery until month three. Part of that could be drawn from my impatience, but lack of a better term, I feel NWOS "humped and dumped" my through a hip scope for a quick buck on there budget. I would not recommend this team as I am basically back at square one with my injury and absolutely wasted my time.

My husband's experience with the office staff was awful. They were completely lacking in compassion and plain rude. My husband's back surgery case was complicated by l&i and dr. Shuster offered to act as his primary physician until my husband could get in with a new dr. so he could continue getting the prescriptions he needed. The office staff billed the wrong insurance weekly, sometimes multiple times a week, despite repeated conversations with the same few office staff that just couldn't understand we had changed insurance.

Then they would get rude and act like he did something wrong. They made mistake after mistake resulting in delays of meds and forced trips to the emergency room. It took a month to get seen at a new primary care provider and they made it an absolute nightmare with that level of incompetence.

A year ago in August, Dr Shirzad operated on my foot. It took awhile to heal, but it was so worth it. I walk without pain for the 1st time in years. I wear regular shoes. It is totally amazing to me. I cannot thank him and the staff enough for a good experience there. I would highly recommend anyone to consider your surgeries here.

This office use to be fantastic. I recently took my Mother here to see one of the providers at the downtown office and I could not believe the changes that have been made. There is no more 1:1 communication with your doctors staff, if you need to call the office be prepared for a 45-50 minute wait to get to your correct office. The ladies answering the phone seem to not be as happy as they once were.

The gals I have previously talked to and were so helpful are no longer there. I had to talk with the office manager recently about some missing paper work and she stumbled her way around excuses as to why it's missing. She was very unprofessional and stuck in her way. There was no getting anywhere with that woman and she seems to deal with these issues often.

Not the kind of treatment I had there a year ago. I overheard some office chatter waiting in the waiting room and seems to be everyone there is quitting. Maybe this is the reason for the lack of care? What happened to the patient care NWOS once had? What happened to the supportive staff?

Horrible experience. I saw the physician and was told they would call and talk with me which they never did. I ended up having to call them. I was then told they sent me a letter to let me know they could not do anything. I feel sending a letter is a horrible way to inform a patient something you could have had the common respect to call and talk with them. I would never recommend this facility to do anything and will tell everyone to avoid them at all cost.

I have seen many specialist at NWOP. I could not sing their praises enough. I have always felt and been taken care of by every one I had came into contact with, like family. Not just the surgeons, or specialis, but the entire staff. From administration to nurses, pain doctors, everyone. Extremly professional, explained all thing throughly, never felt rushed.

All my concerns were addressed. And the follow up is amazing, after hip replacement the surgeon called me at home to check on me. I highly recommend any and all. What a caring, cutting edge place. Rose M. Honeyfield

Horrible experience. I broke my arm on a Saturday spent all day the following Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday calling repeatedly and leaving voicemails, without a response until Thursday. Saw the doctor the following Monday. 10 days post break. Said I need surgery. said it would be Friday, but they would call me and tell me when and where. No call. Called Tuesday Morning, scheduler then gave me attitude, because I said someone was supposed to call me and did not. Still no idea when or where my surgery is going to be. Looking like it will be 2 weeks post break.unheard of.

Northwest orthopedic is the best run medical practice I have ever seen. And the people are so friendly and helpful. Very professional with a heart for their patients who they treat with respect and dignity. I love Dr Reichard who has stayed so positive with me. I wish I could give more than 5 stars for their rating! You are simply the best!

Absolutely the very best experience possible. Discharged from Sacred Heart today (THEY were disappointing), but the treatment by the Doctor and his staff was exemplary. Professional, patient, respectful in both face-to-face and phone interactions and call-backs. Dr O was very helpful, honest to a fault and ensured I and my family were always informed and helped as appropriate. NO BS! As positive an experience as I believe could be, particularly in today's COVID, legalistic and tight-scheduled world. My deepest gratitude to every person on the team!
