Dr. Hein performed a trapeziectomy on me in March 2022. Everything about the experience was…read moreterrible. He led me to believe it was an easy peasy surgery. Following the surgery I had significant nerve pain along my thumb for 6 months. He tried to gaslight me about my pain. I finally left his practice and wound up with Dr. Miyano at Seattle Hand Surgery. He took an X-ray and discovered I was back to bone on bone arthritis. I swore, after my horrible experience with Dr. Hein that no one would ever come near my wrist with a scalpel again. However, the pain eventually wound up preventing me from getting decent sleep so last week Dr. Miyano performed a trapeziectomy revision. I spent 8 days in a soft cast. He did a much more complex surgery than Dr. Hein with No Nerve Damage! If you are considering a trapeziectomy I woukd think twice about having Dr. Hein do it.

He recommended doing a procedure that has greatly reduced my symptoms and I see him regularly. Dr.Nago listens and is very kind and sympathetic. He is very good about referring out to other doctors to help with any neurological symptoms. I am very happy that I have met him. I feel very safe in his care. I highly recommend this doctor.

A close friend referred me to Dr. Nago about seven years ago, after I was misdiagnosed/receiving…read moreineffective treatment. He quite possibly saved my life and has given me a much better quality of life than I had. I owe him a debt of gratitude. He is one of the smartest, most caring, and thorough providers I've ever seen. Even when I have stupid questions, he makes sure that I am satisfied with his work-up, diagnosis, and treatment. Wherever he goes, so will I. Sorry, Nago, you're stuck with me. Until death do we part. (Mary J., Renton)

(Even on weekends and holidays.) If I need to be seen, they can get me in that day or the following day. Annual exams are never hurried, and test results are fully explained. I'm not only getting great care, I'm saving money by avoiding costly emergency room visits. I'm also confident of getting referrals to the best specialists.

They say they'll help you manage chronic conditions, but will they? My poor sister suffers from…read morechronic migraines and spends days a week in bed with an ice pack to her head and vomiting. She has a appointment in five months with a neurologist but we though this place might help her manage some of the symptoms and feel better before that. It is the only serious medical issue she faces and yet they won't take her explaining they don't have the "band with" to manage her condition. I suspect they have labeled her in advance as a "white whiney woman" - a term male doctors often use to describe female patients who are aggressive in getting help or perhaps they just though she'd cost the practice too much money. Either way, no help from them.

All of this self-created fear went away as soon as Dr Willems entered the treatment room. His relaxed demeanor, ease at conversation, and deep knowledge of his craft, made all of my fear disappear. We went through a thorough overview of my medical history and put together a plan for attacking my health issues. I feel better already knowing that my heart and health are in Dr Willems hands!

I have had reverse shoulder replacement surgery on each shoulder this past year, five months apart…read more What most patients say about Dr. Jurek's rapport, support, and positivity are definitely true, but of course my main concern as a patient was with the outcomes. I'm pleased to say that the outcomes so far have been far better than I had expected, with very little pain after surgery and smooth and quick recoveries. I was swinging a golf club after 6 weeks, and was playing golf just 8 weeks after my first surgery. I had a similar and even better result, with even less pain and quicker recovery time, after my second surgery. I would certainly recommend Dr. Jurek to anyone for shoulder replacement surgery, and after having worked with her through my two surgeries, I am confident that I would recommend her for any orthopedic procedure within her expertise. She is really terrific. (I should also add that she was initially recommended to me by another very highly-rated orthopedic surgeon, so she is clearly highly-regarded by her colleagues and fellow specialists as well.)
