I have seen three doctors here, and ALL of them have been stellar…read more
Let's go back several decades, when Dr. Christ did my first ankle fusion. He is an extremely kind and caring doctor, with the surgical skills to back it up. He set the bar high for all the rest of the doctors to come in my life!
Next up, Dr. Bowman. I had torn the meniscus in my knee many times, over many years, and finally we were able to get insurance (pre-existing condition, so thank you, Obama-care) and get it operated on. 7 years of extreme pain and limited mobility, taken care of with ONE single surgery. Dr. Bowman is very smart, and his mind is so agile that you can practically see it making connections during your time with him. He is thoughtful, and addressed all my concerns with patience and great suggestions. In all of my appointments, he has been kind, courteous, and most of all, a problem-solver. WOOT! I went back to him this week, years later, with more knee problems. He asked how I wanted to treat it, I concurred with Aggressively, and away we went. I appreciate a doctor who makes a treatment plan WITH me.
Lastly, Dr. Jensen, who saw me for a broken toe. Yes, I dropped a cast iron pan on it...much blood and broken bone as a result. I was concerned because I have hardware in my ankle, and there are lifelong repercussions to that, namely, you need to be careful with wounds because of infection. Dr. Jensen was also kind (seems to be a theme here, thankfully), treated this somewhat minor injury with care, and was always on top of my concerns, as well as some I should have been aware of.
Other great things? Fast xrays on site, spacious waiting room, NO loud tv (although there is one, playing sports, behind the elevator column), welcoming staff, courteous nurses, fast MyChart responses, and wide hallways, for those of us on crutches. If you've got a sports injury or a mobility injury (for those of us non-sporty people), HEAD HERE. You'll be glad you did.
Note: surgeries are performed downtown, at Bronson Hospital.
