    Straight up and to the point! Trying to avoid knee surgery so Dr Mark has put me on a great game…read moreplan. I only wish he was a primary care physician. Kudos to Penny as well! Highly recommend.

    My first visit to Dr. Senese's office was easily the best doctor experience I've had all year or…read moremore. Every person I had the pleasure of talking to on his staff were super friendly, super helpful, and just overall awesome! Dr. Senese himself was personable, knowledgable, and very helpful. He explained to me everything he saw on my x-ray and helped me to understand what was going on. He listened to and addressed all of my concerns, and came up with a great game plan to help treat me. So far, so good. It is also important for me to note how much I appreciate that he is in his own practice, and not a giant group. The giant groups are miserable to deal with, from trying to get them on the phone to make an appointment, to the wait in the office for said appointment. This didn't happen here. You don't go through menus to talk to someone. The woman that answers the phone can help you with everything you need, short of actually talking to the doctor. The wait time in the office was only a few minutes, and I was early to my appointment. He was on time had I not been early. I was seen by the doctor within 5 minutes of having my vitals taken and issues written down by the nurse. Based on this first visit, I would recommend Dr. Senese to anyone!

    I am no longer a patient. The following review is why i changed medical providers…read more....... Attention new patients: when they say you will not be able to see any other doctor than the one you are originally assigned to, they mean NO matter what. This policy is fine, but they don't even cover each other for vacations or other absences! I understand not allowing patients to just see other doctors as a matter of convenience but i am having trouble walking!! My pain is terrible..... I was instructed to go to the ER, which we all know is NOT the answer because I am not dying. That is what an ER is for. Broken, bleeding or dying. An Orthopedic office is for non emergency issues, like this. Here's what happened...... I've been on the cancellation list for a few weeks. I call on occasion to find out if there's been one, just in case. I always ask if it's okay to call back. The staff is super pleasant. But when they told me this morning that my doc is out of town for the next week+, I asked for an exception because I am in genuine and growing pain. I cannot sleep. Which means I'm fatigued. I have multiple sclerosis and that's a life changer for me. I was even OK with continuing to call next week hoping to get a cancellation but knowing that I have no choice but to live like this for the next week+ because of a "rule" is really upsetting. So yes I believe the policy means more to these people than patient care. I'll be changing my orthopedist which is a bummer because I really like Dr Gonsalvez. His first injections worked well. Thing is, my issue came back with a vengeance and in his absence he has no back up. I think I'd rather go to an office where the doctors work together as a team.

    Dr Hardy is/was nice to me. Her nurse practitioner was horrid. He did a number of passive…read moreaggressive things to me that I first thought were mistakes. Did not get walker until 5 hours before surgery. Did not send script in for anti biotic for teeth cleaning after surgery. He said how was he to know I was to my teeth cleaned. I had to gag down 4 anti biotic horse pills while laying back in dentist chair. When I asked him for different pain pills he ordered 8(eight) pills one every six hours for 7 days. He said he'd send this script to Costco but after 8 hours found out he sent it to Walgreens. The reason he these things was because I cursed. He said I used profanity. When my knee was killing me I spoke colorfully about the pain. Never directed at anyone!!!! He also said I should have called the office about only getting 8 pills which I did not do because I was embarrassed to be in pain.

    Had my right shoulder replaced on 11/27/2018. The results have been far better than I expected…read more Dr. Thompson was very attentive to every detail of what was going on with my shoulder, what my expectations were and there were no complications. His demeanor put me at ease at all times. The follow-up appointments were always through and there was never a feeling that he wanted to rush me out to get the next patient in. He spent just the right amount of time with me; making sure everything was as it should be and I was happy with the results. Top notch!

    I'm absolutely thrilled with the improvement to my hand after the work Dr. Thompson did for it!…read more My injury stemmed from a fall nearly fifteen years ago and I'd been to a "handful" (sorry; couldn't resist) of other doctors and had all sorts of scans and treatments including a whole bunch of extremely painful, yet ultimately ineffective, shots. Dr. Thompson essentially took one look at it and knew what the problem was. He gave me a few minimally-invasive things to try for a couple of months (hey, what's a couple of months when you've been suffering for years!?!). Based on the results from those interventions, he was able to confirm the diagnosis and we quickly arranged the surgery. Sure it hurt, but wow, was it worth it! You can barely see the scars and the process overall was remarkably pleasant. Most of the staff have been consistently kind and professional. I'm so grateful for Dr. Thompson and the team at Tucson Shoulder Elbow and Hand! Anybody know a good piano teacher? :-)
