It's been six months now since my hip replacement. It was a very positive experience with Dr…read more James Huston. He and his P.A. (Josh Lahr) spent time discussing the surgery before and time afterwards discussing the recovery. This review is late because, frankly, I couldn't believe my luck--no problems! I recovered quickly and as for pain, I've had more pain from root canals than from this surgery. I now have an appt. with Dr. Huston to assess the other hip. Would I recommend OrthoKansas and Dr. Huston? You betcha!! The place and Dr. Huston were a blessing!

I am actually not sure what to think of OrthoKansas. It is quite an unusual set-up for a medical…read moreoffice. Sitting in the waiting room, waiting for my appointment, I was reminded of a cattle drive. Yep, a cattle drive. TONS of people in the waiting room who were constantly being called back, shuffled, resurfaced and gone again. I fractured my fibula on my left ankle. My general practitioner suggested OK. It took them forever to schedule because the clerk never called me back. I had to be a public nuisance and leave a nasty gram on their Facebook page before they called me back. I was able to get an appointment, though, within a few days. This is a high volume outfit. I was told that some doctors only do wrists, other doctors only do ankles, and so forth. They could have forwarded my admission paperwork to me well ahead of my appointment. However, they did not offer that option and I was in too much discomfort to ask. So when I got there I had to spend about 20 minutes filling out the paperwork, balancing a clipboard precariously on my lap. It took over an hour to finally see a doctor. Waiting, waiting, waiting. The other people in the waiting room provided good people watching entertainment for me, though. I was actually getting very bored and worried about losing cell battery. No charging stations were available, either. When I was finally called back, I was taken for x-rays. Now I had just had a full set of x-rays two days before and they had those in my file. I was very curious why they had to take more x-rays 48 hours later. When I finally got into a room, I had one technician come in and examine me. Dr. Stull finally came in after.. more waiting. He was very pleasant and capable. He answered my questions and he had a good sense of humor. He showed me the x-rays and explained my injury. I liked him a great deal. The technician who put my cast on was very nice, too. She was helpful and she did a good job. The only thing I wished from her would be less diplomacy. This was new territory for me and I wanted her honest opinion about things. I asked questions like "Do most people get the waterproof cast?" and she gave me the standard "Some do but others don't" reply. I was truly wanting her input. She was quick and thorough and very nice, though. She even helped me to my car and I appreciate her kindness. I think they know what they are doing but it seems a bit impersonal with the high volume. They just seem too busy. You get the feeling you are a number and not a person. I liked everyone I met and they were very helpful, just hurried.
