I went in to see Dr. Christopher Boone at Bellevue Bone and Joint Physicians (BBJP) regarding…read moreswelling in my knee which had been replaced via a total knee replacement l5 years ago. After Dr. Boone x-rayed my knee, he determined that the swelling was due to the uneven wear of the original plastic spacer, in my knee which he indicated needed to be replaced. Dr. recommended that a MRI be performed so he could "study" what the best options were. After Dr. Boone presented the options, he recommended that the plastic spacer in the original knee replacement be surgically removed and replaced as well as the removal of 3 cysts around the knee joint. The surgery performed required opening up my knee just like in the original knee placement procedure to have access to the knee prosthesis and the plastic spacer. The surgery results were excellent. Ten (10) days after the surgery, I was able to return to my Bike Spinning Classes. Dr. Boone is an outstanding Orthopedic Surgeon. I give him my highest recommendation. Lynn Caldwell 12/2017

I had a HORRIBLE experience with Dr Boone. He did my Right Total Hip Replacement in 2019. I was 6…read moremonths postpartum. I have had more pain and problems since my replacement despite his promise that "in 6 months you won't even know you had a hip replacement." I am reminded at nearly every moment of the day STILL that I had a hip replacement. He claimed my replacement was such a perfect fit that it appeared to be "made for me" exactly. He sent me down the referral gauntlet, I've had countless injections, my liver is now in crisis from the medications I have taken to try to relieve my pain, no Drs will touch his work because "he's the best of the best," it has literally been one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. I'd gone for the hip replacement because I had dysplasia, lots of arthritis, and it was locking up on me trying to carry my infant daughter down the stairs and I was terrified I'd fall with her. I had gotten the surgery hoping I'd be able to be a more active mother, but it had the opposite effect. It has taken such a toll on my mental, emotional and physical health. He only looked at an xray and spent 10 minutes with me at my consult before he decided I was "a perfect candidate for a Total Hip Replacement." I trusted him because of his reputation. With the research I've done since, I believe he should have NEVER considered putting my body through the procedure considering I was breastfeeding (up until I was wheeled to the Operating Room) AND the fact that women's bodies, especially the hip area need time to recover from Childbirth...the ligaments and structure need time to heal. I believe this is malpractice, greed and carelessness on Dr. Boone's part. I caution anyone, especially women from letting him or his robot operate on you. I think I was one of 7 robotic replacements he performed that day. It took me 3 days to leave the hospital and I was in incredible pain.

I had a bicycle accident and broke my elbow really badly. I was referred to Dr. Idjadi the…read morefollowing day after the ER visit. Pre-surgery, he told me that the injury is really bad and it could be a tricky operation and perhaps after recovery I may not have the same mobility in my left hand. Post surgery, I had 7 screws and a plate. 10 days later, I visit him again, take an x-ray and see that all the bones are perfectly back in place. It was a very successful surgery. Now after 2 month, my elbow which was deemed to be pretty badly injured, healed pretty well and I gained back 95% of the original mobility. Good job on the surgery, what can I say more. =-=-= As for the doctor's attitude that the other reviewer talks about, I can only quote a famous proverb: """Give the bread dough to the baker even if he eats half of it. -- Idiomatic One of the meanings of this proverb could be... Give the job to a person who knows how to perform it best even if it will cost you much. (Translated from an Arabic proverb)""" Be patient, polite and follow the procedure. Dr. Idjadi is a good listener.

Dr. Sailer and Ryan were able get it done. I think even they were surprised at the result if that's even possible for such an experienced team; they do more repairs than anyone in our region and I did my research. He is a wizard. I could not be happier with the results. If I had any feedback other than praise it would be that Dr Sailer set realistic pre-op expectations about what I would experience in the first 6 months. Maybe those are derived from a larger pool of patients that receive rotator repair, but that wasn't my experience at all. Sleeping sucked for the first couple of weeks and the pain was manageable, but after that it's been smooth Sailering! If you need rotator repair don't put it off and trust Dr Sailer to get it done.

Perhaps that's why the other lady on Yelp was unhappy. Instead, Dr. Attaman offers alternative *treatment*. I've had nerve blocks, spinal cord injections, cranial sacral work, and shockwave therapy on an injured elbow. I also received excellent consulting on an MRI for a collapsing cervical disk that another had doctor misdiagnosed. If Dr. Attaman hadn't reviewed it and urged me to schedule surgery (with a different doctor) urgently, I might have lost function in my bowel and legs. I'm grateful for his devotion to treating the root causes of pain rather than throwing opiods at them. His medical staff for procedures are also warm and flawlessly professional.

Dr. Robon was confident and competent throughout the process. The recovery from surgery was pretty painful as I had been made aware of. Lots of visits to PT but, now 2 months in, things are getting close to being back to normal. Dr. Robon is very thorough in his reports. Great guy if not slightly eccentric. Called me the day following surgery to see how I was doing. The somewhat gnarly looking surgical site has healed to the point where the scar is almost invisible.

Dr. Robon showed no interest in my condition, instead he took the time to talk about himself, how good he is and what Labor & Industry needed from him, not what I needed as a patient. It's taken me a year to write this because the experience was that upsetting. Thankfully, I found excellent care and real support at Swedish Hospital. I've since had two surgeries with a compassionate, skilled surgeon I trust, or in short: everything Dr. Robon was not.

I was referred to him from a UW Orthopedic doctor who had seen boney edemas in my MRI's and who provided me Dr. Cannon's name. I waited many weeks to get the appointment with Dr. Cannon. When setting the appointment with him I communicated with his nurse assistant to ensure prior to my visit Dr. Cannon had the scans showing the boney edemas and the scan of my history pathology showing I had mestatic breast cancer in the past. She confirmed the scans had been received prior to the visit. I set the appointment because I have severe bone pain in several locations. On the visit, Dr. Cannon walks into the exam room and asked me what the problem was. I explained to him my history of mestatic breast cancer and a double mestectomy and thyroid cancer to start, he wasn't really interested. I asked if he had read my reports or looked at my scans, he said no they weren't available to him. I expressed his nurse had confirmed my records were in their system, his response was they weren't. I told him I had them with me, both paper reports and CD's, he said he didn't have a way to download the CD's and wasn't interested in the reports. And asked me what I expected him to do. I told him I had several locations of severe bone pain and that boney edema's were showing on my scans. I explained that initially there was one, then more, and now I was having bone pain in my chest bones. He asked what I expected him to do about it and I told him I would like him to biopsy the boney edema in my tibia as it was the one at the time which makes it hard for me to walk. He told me that it woud be considered malpractice for him to biopsy a boney edema. Again I asked for him to look at my scans. He told me I needed to see a general practitioner and there good ones out there who can look general body pains. I told him if I have bone cancer I was going to be very unhappy about his decision to not review my records and that I had been referred to him specifically because he was a oncology orthopedic surgeon. He asked if I was threatening him, I said no, but I would be very mad of his level of care. He stated he didn't know I had been referred but then he tells me (without any review of my records) that it sounds like fibromyalgia to me. I walked out of the exam room with disgust. After the visit, I read his chart notes on my medical record which indicated he and I discussed my muscle pain, he made no mention in the notes that the fact of my visit was bone pain from boney edema's and my request for biopsy to confirm my breast cancer hadn't spread to my bones. It was very disappointing about his level of concern or level of care, I had spent 2 months to see him and then several hours back and forth from my island to Seattle and back just to be rudely treated and disregarded.
