Welcome to Greater Pittsburgh Orthopaedic Associates (GPOA), Pittsburgh's oldest continuously-operating orthopaedic surgical associates. Our goal is to provide compassionate orthopaedic care to patients of all ages for an extensive variety of conditions. GPOA's approach to care involves using state-of-the-art technology to keep our treatment effective and cutting-edge, no matter your condition.
Your elbows are easy to take for granted when everything is working properly. An injury or disorder in them, however, can quickly make you appreciate how important elbows are to overall functioning in daily life. GPOA has a dedicated team of hand and upper extremity specialists in the Pittsburgh area who will diagnose your condition and determine the best course of action.
Severe hip pain can dramatically compromise one's quality of life. For some patients, hip pain can even prevent them from doing light activities or day-to-day household chores. If you have tried more conservative hip therapies and have found very little success, it may be time to consider surgical options for more long-term, effective results on which you can depend.
Cartilage is a strong, durable, flexible tissue that holds many of your most important body parts together. This includes your joints in a wide variety of places in the body, including in the knees, elbows, and more. When this cartilage deteriorates in these places, you can begin to experience severe pain and a debilitating loss of your range of motion.

The office is almost always steady, and the staff remain kind and keep things moving along for everyone. I broke my ankle and saw Dr. S. Thomas, who is amazing, friendly, & professional. I had also seen Dr. Kubik 5 years ago for a broken foot. I can speak highly of them both as well as their staff. Very pleasant experience despite unpleasant circumstances!

Dr. Kubik&his staff r excellent! Had a ripped rotator cup, bones surs, frozen shoulder, lots of fluid&scar tissue. Sought out GPOA because of the stupidity of a local Dr.& being in awful pain for 6 months. Saw Dr. Kubik on 2/3/22,h ad my procedure on 3/15/22. Wasnt apprehensive at all. Him& his staff put me at ease. I still have some recouperating to do but I'm well on my way! So glad a friend referred me. A huge ty to Dr. Kubik!

Reception was very busy, but Denise is impeccably organized & kind. She keeps things moving along so well. Our wait time was short & our visit with Dr. Duke Thomas answered all of our questions & concerns. Check-out was quick & we were able to make an appointment at our convenience. Best people on the planet! Submitted for Angie Fehl.

Office operations went smoothly including check-in, getting x-rayed, and seeing the doctor. After seeing the doctor and agreeing that I was ready to schedule myself for joint replacement, there were extensive and explicit instructions from the nurse about what I needed to do to be prepared for the surgery. I thought this was very helpful.

I took my daughter to see Dr. Thomas because my daughter broke her back a few years ago. She has been seeing a chiropractor since the accident but continues to have pain. My daughter told him about other problems that she was having and he totally dismissed her back issues. He was rude and arrogant. He said he wasn't the doctor for her. He never examined her back or would he give her a chance to explain her back issues.
He assumed she wanted pain meds and she never asked him for pain meds. He made her cry and made her feel insignificant then end the appointment very abruptly and pushed us out the door. I feel it was very unprofessional. It was a very bad experience.

I really needed my cortisone shots in my hips by Dr. Stephen Thomas. Got a call from Dr. Duke Thomas's office today that I could not receive treatment by his brother based on my unpaid balance to him. I had to cancel my treatment with my hip ortho doc that I have been seeing for 15 years. I am in pain and will remain in pain. Dr. Duke Thomas's office would not allow me treatment by his brother, Stephen, unless I set up a payment plan with him.
I just can't at this time. It feels horrible to be trapped by a doctor (or doctors) who are more concerned with past money owed than helping their patient. I have health insurance so the appointment today would have been paid. I feel so let down by this practice that I have to find another practice after 15 years.and I have been treated by 5 of their doctors.over $380 dollars.

Unfortunately I cannot choose 0 stars. I called 3 different times to schedule an appointment. Each time I called, they requested more insurance information and refused to even schedule an appointment without insurance information. Finally, after receiving all information they scheduled an appointment for nearly 3 weeks out. Two days later, I receive a call stating they can't get a hold of my insurance company and I need to get them another phone number or I can't be seen.
Many frustrations later, I arrive today Feb 19th 2021 for an appointment. Upon check in, they request a confirmation letter in person, after receiving claim number agents name and the whole nine yards. The receptionist who was less than friendly assured me everything was verified before telling me I couldn't be seen. When I expressed my frustration, I was told to "get out" "I'm done talking to you".
I suggest finding an ortho with a much more professional office. I will never return. I even had a surgery through this practice many years ago as a kid. I'm a business owner myself, and was appalled by the receptionists mannerisms from first call to appointment day!

GPOA provides some of the best orthopedic service in the country. Very good with my 12 year old son and they also did a great job with my mom's spine issues. I highly recommend them. Steve and Duke Thomas are highly skilled orthopedic specialists and have a great bed side manner as well. The staff provided great support help.
