This is my second time under the care of Bridger Ortho and Dr. Jon Robinson, who performed my…read morebunion surgeries. The first one happened 7 years ago, and the latest took place In October 2019. First, a word about Bridger Ortho itself. My experience has been that they run a tight ship, very organized and well oiled, which ensures that my own time is not wasted or spent in frustration. The whole business is designed to get people in and out on time, and make it an easy, stress free experience. Jon Robinson is an excellent surgeon who inspires confidence. I have heard tell that his bedside manner leaves something to be desired, but if so, it never bothered me. My first surgery was flawless, the pain gone within weeks. The second one has not produced the same flawless results, as 3 months later I'm still experiencing pain. However, I'm confident that this will be rectified shortly.

I had knee surgery at Bridger several years ago for a torn meniscus. The surgeon told me I would…read moreneed a replacement in a year or two so I asked to just do the replacement at that time to avoid two surgeries. He refused so I agreed to the meniscus repair. I was in more pain (excruciating) after the surgery than before, my knee wasn't healing properly and there was a lot of fluid discharge. It was so hard to get through to my provider by phone and my messages went unanswered. I finally went to their office and was seen pretty quickly (probably because they didn't want other patient's witnessing a patient crying uncontrollably in the waiting room.) An ex-ray showed that the surgeon had left a glob of something in my knee so he had to do another surgery to remove it. When I woke up he told me i needed a knee replacement; Just what I wanted to avoid. Of course I went elsewhere for my knee replacement. also felt like they move patients through as quickly as possible probably to maximize their profit. Their follow up is terrible. I know two other people who had unsatisfactory results from joint replacement surgeries at Bridger.

I visited Dr. Mackey on March 3 with leg/back pain, and had a follow up appointment the next week…read more Two days later she called to let me know she'd tested positive for COVID on the same day as my follow up, and she made it clear that a) she'd only taken a test because she'd been planning a trip to Hawaii, and b) she was only informing her close contacts because she was required to by law. She attempted to soft-pedal the news by saying she'd taken a (notoriously unreliable) rapid test that morning, which was negative, and that she doubted she actually had COVID because she didn't personally know anyone who was infected. The overall tone of this call was that none of this was a big deal. Unfortunately, it was a big deal for me. I had friends staying with me that week, and none of us were vaccinated. To be safe, I immediately isolated myself in my room, and my friends packed up and left as soon as they could. Four days later I began having symptoms and took a COVID test, which came back positive. A few days after that, I had a follow up call with Dr. Mackey and let her know I had in fact contracted COVID. During this call, she told me that: 1. Though she had been eligible and had had numerous opportunities, she had chosen not to get a vaccine because she felt it was still experimental and potentially more dangerous than the virus itself. 2. That there is no definitive evidence COVID vaccines prevent transmission of the virus, and therefore no point in getting one. 3. That she didn't feel she needed to be vaccinated anyway, because she was not personally in a high-risk group. 4. That she doesn't treat sick people, so even if one of her patients were to contract COVID, it wouldn't really matter. 5. That the common cold is also caused by a corona virus, so it's very possible that our PCR tests produced false positives and nobody actually has COVID. 6. That she chose to wear a thin cloth mask during appointments rather than an N95, because N95s only protect the wearer. (This is false, and pertains only to the types of mask which have an exhaust valve built in. However, when I pointed out that even if such a thing were true, she might have prevented herself from getting infected and then infecting me, Dr. Mackey paused for a long time before claiming there was no way she could know I actually caught COVID from her, and that I could have gotten it by going into a store, or using a gas station bathroom.) I was fortunate because I had a relatively mild case, and have since mostly recovered. (Although I still have not recovered my sense of taste/smell.) My friends were fortunate because we cared enough to take precautions, so they were able to visit their elderly parents the following weekend. But what is truly maddening about this situation is that Dr. Mackey seemed unable to understand or take responsibility for the fact that her bad decisions around COVID don't just affect her. Even if it were true that every single one of her patients is young and healthy and in a "low-risk" group, some of them would certainly leave her office and interact with other people who aren't. Never mind the fact that even people in low-risk groups have died or been hospitalized, and that there are other negative long-term effects besides death that we still don't understand. I'm not writing this review to hurt Dr. Mackey or her business. I just wish that I'd known the things I know now before choosing to see her. If you've read all of the above and don't think any of it is relevant to you as a patient, that is your prerogative. But if, like me, you would prefer to see a medical professional who is not a vaccine skeptic, who takes every possible precaution to protect her patients, and who doesn't become defensive or evasive when asked to accept responsibility for her actions, then you now have that information, and you can make a more informed choice than I was able to.

I have been seeing Doctor Mackey for about six months after having chronic shoulder pain for over a…read moreyear not helped by PT and a myriad of docs who were all stumped by my symptoms. I finally decide to go "out of network" when the quick 15 minute doctor visit wasn't enough to figure it out and an in network osteopath man handled me so much I was terrified of getting adjustments ever again. Her adjustments are amazing, next to miraculous! Her nature is very calm and intuitive and she approaches me as a partner, always making sure to ask me how I am doing. She really tuned into my body and gave me as much time as she could. I know some complain of the price tag but the visit isn't short. It's actually what you'd pay for just 15 minutes with an integrative doc for a consult but with Dr. Mackey you also get adjustments and can have a conversation versus quickly going through a checklist of symptoms and having someone throw supplements your way. Also, I didn't expect to have other issues addressed and discussed that could be exacerbating the issue but her recommendations were very helpful as she is very knowledgeable on many theories of wellness. She even told me about a theory that would later have me not needing to come as often called TMS, by Doctor Schrader and after reading that book I have improved even more.

I am now 4 months out of surgery. My whole healing process has gone above my expectations. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Mark Deibert and his staff! They are helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. They truly care.

Dr Beamer is fantastic! I have seen 6-7 different orthopedic surgeons for arthritis pain in my knee…read morefollowing a broken knee I got in 2014. They all said to just get used to it and figure out how to live with it. Finally found Dr Beamer and am so happy I did. Took time to hear what I said and understood that "live with it" isn't an option in my eyes. He throughly reviewed my case and reviewed it with his mentor from Stanford, and gave me some options and what he'd do if he were in my shoes. He answers my many questions and makes sure I understand everything. He is very sharp and meticulously precise without the arrogance you often find in this profession. I would 100% recommend him, especially if you've struggled to find the right orthopedic surgeon!!

I got a second opinion that said it would heal back on its own and I would be fine. 6 months later I'm back to 100% strength and mobility on my previously injured side along with 0 pain. It felt like he was trying to take advantage of me as a young man in pain. On top of this he was condesending and rude. He didn't take the time to explain anything to me or listen to my questions/concerns. I would never recommend seeing Dr Beamer.
