Wait time - ok, it happens and I can put up with although, every time waiting 30+ minutes in the waiting room, then another 20+ in the exam room, defeats the purpose of making an appointment. But the cost transparency there is just the worst. It took 3 inquiries alone to get a vague procedure cost estimate which, even though a procedure is needed, I still would like to have an idea what it'll cost before I am committing to it.

Vinson was my main PT, and was very attentive with any issues I was having during my recovery. He always adjusted my exercises and stretches as needed and was very adamant on getting me healed up as quickly as possible. He knew when to push me and when to let off the gas. Aaron was also amazing. He always had jokes and we ended up talking about common interests throughout my time there, making my PT visits seem more like hanging out with a friend. He was also extremely attentive and always told me when I was going too hard on the bike! Lastly, the receptionists were very personable and knowledgeable. With this being my first big injury and first time at PT, they made my experience super easy and accommodating, explaining medical benefits when I had questions and always reminding me of my appointments. Overall, I would highly recommend POA. Of course I hope no one has to go, but if you do, just know that you are in great hands!

You're so amazing! Fast forward to my appt... In the order of who I saw, started w/ Jaime, Gina, Reann, Dr Leslie Kim, Greg, Kristen, Melvi (MRI) Dr Kim was exactly who I wanted to see. When researching around for a Orthopedic Dr. I thought I wanted this other person but reviews showed they make Patients wait an hr and they rush through appts to move on to the next one. Dr Kim is so welcoming, love his demeanor, so calm, thorough, professional, captivating, not once did he rush me. It didn't even feel like a Dr/Patient experience where sometimes it feels awkward. He treated me as a friend or loved one. You can tell it is his mission to help heal one person at a time. Loved the examination.

Yelp, you suck. I can't delete and amend a review so here's the last one…read more On March 16 2023, Nic Gay replaced my left knee.   I had paid in full 2 weeks prior to surgery and was promised a robotics assisted total knee replacement.   On April 3rd 2023, at my first post op appointment, I found out that he'd switched surgery plans on me without my consent or knowledge while I was already under total anesthesia.   He opted to do it manually without robotics assistance.   I decided to trust him. For 10 months I worked my tail off in PT, I did everything I could and then some to heal properly and strengthen myself.   But by December 2023, it became clear that the knee had failed: Increasing pain, decreasing mobility, swelling galore and absolutely zero stability:  The knee clicks backwards all the time, clicks sideways, zero strength, I cannot trust my left leg.   So in January 2024, I went back to SVO, hoping to schedule a revision.   I forgot to mention that I'm a self pay patient, payment was provided in full for the surgery and all the tests required.   The surgery was just under 15K. Nic Gay acted a bit strange when I saw him that day.  He agreed that I needed a revision so he could change the spacer to a thicker one.   And that's when things really got weird: He told me that his office would call me shortly with a quote for the spacer (still not sure if it was just for the spacer and additional coasts would be added or if it was for the full surgery) but I wasn't to worried because even though I'd lost my home a few months prior, and I am now living in my motorhome,I had also found a buyer for my car, so I figured I had paid just under 15K for the initial surgery, surely a revision wouldn't be that bad.   Boy, was I wrong: His office called me to give me a quote of...  24K FOR A REVISION OF HIS OWN MISTAKE AFTER SWITCHING SURGERY PLANS ON ME WITHOUT MY CONSENT OR KNOWLEDGE, WHILE I WAS UNDER TOTAL ANESTHESIA.   So naturally I had questions about that and I wanted to discuss it further with Nic Gay (I cannot bring myself to use his title, not after what he did to me)  He never took my calls.   His staff was instructed to immediately put me on old without hearing me out, all my calls to his extension went unanswered, all my calls to the general office were immediately forwarded to god knows where, not once during that time in January did I get to talk to anyone, not even to ask for my records.   So, living on wheels, trying to save money, I spent a lot of time in my RV in the middle of nowhere, I decided to focus on my knee, kept working on my PT, tried to cover everything from mobility to strength to stability, to no avail.   The knee is a total failure.   So fast forward to now, I'm stuck in the Midwest (cheap RV spots) there have been tornadoes and the roads are bad so I'm still there.   I called a different surgical outfit to explain that I need a revision and they told me that because of their policy, I'm the one who has to secure my medical records pertaining to the surgery.   So I called SVO.   4 times in 2 days.   Everytime I spoke to someone I got promised they'd send my records, nothing happened because apparently, it's Nic gay who has to approve the release.   And Nic Gay happens to be feeling cruel and sadistic, towards me, apparently.   But then, breakthrough: I just called (5th time's the charm, I guess) and spoke to an absolute gem, Brenda.   Brenda gets shit done, pure and simple.   My guess is she's the true brains behind Nic Gay.   I just got my records emailed, Brenda, thank you again for this.   As for Nic Gay...   My advice is to avoid this smooth liar like the plague: if you agree to a specific surgery/technique, and you let him put you under total anesthesia, you have no idea what you'll wake up with, I learned that the hard way.   I hear he's leaving in a few months, all I can say is SVO will benefit from his departure, but I'm still not going back there, I value my quality of life, shabby as it currently is, thanks to his "treatment", and I look forward to a real medical professional to right the wrong that Nic Gay did me.   Again, this is now possible thanks to Brenda.   SVO, if you have any brains, give that woman a raise, she's the true asset in this place.   All my love to Brenda.

I didn't think that was true until my horrible experience with Dr. Gay. I came in, told him my shoulder was in pain, I wasn't sure why, but I was in so much pain it was interfering with everything in my life and I couldn't even sleep. We did an x-ray, he said he couldn't tell much from it and needed to do an MRI. I said okay, and he sent me to the front to get it scheduled AND THAT WAS IT. Come time for MRI, NO ONE HAD TOLD ME that it would entail needing to lie still on my back for nearly an hour. I'm young, I've never had an MRI, how the heck would I know that? Had they told me, I would have politely reminded them "remember the part where I said I can't sleep? I literally mean I CAN'T SLEEP." I tried to go through with the MRI, but I was in so much pain I was involuntarily crying from the pain (because they also have to put your arm in a position that further amplified my pain). The technician took me out after about 20 minutes of TORTURE and I met again with Dr. Gay who didn't even apologize to not taking me seriously. He said he would give me a cortisone shot, painkillers, and hopefully then I'd be more comfortable to come back and get the MRI. I asked him why he didn't give me this during my first visit and he said "I didn't think it was this serious." ...so when I said I was in pain....that wasn't serious? At this point, I've lost it. It was human of me, I hadn't slept in WEEKS, and I was in MASSIVE pain. I said I can't believe I'm being charged for this when the doctor has clearly messed up. They said they wouldn't charge me for 2 MRIs but I still have to pay ~$300 for a "doctor visit" that entailed a doctor not taking me seriously and doing nothing for me that he could have easily done had he just actually taken the time to BELIEVE MY PAIN? Man, and the look on his face when my MRI results came back. It turned out my muscle had torn, fluid had come in and formed a cyst that was pressing on a nerve and that's why, even on painkillers, I was in SO MUCH PAIN. It needed surgery to be fixed and you can bet I didn't get my surgery done by this sexist poor excuse of a doctor. I took my MRI results to another doctor, who looked at it and said this was an enormous cysts and extremely unusual to see in someone as young as me. He said I must be in a lot of pain and asked how it happened. He was a doctor I finally felt comfortable enough saying - "I think it started when my ex boyfriend shoved me. My shoulder started to hurt then, but not nearly the way it hurts now months later. I'd only made the connection after the MRI results because now I see how it started as a tiny muscle tear pain and evolved into a cyst pressing on a nerve pain..." Imagine if Dr. Gay had been any sort of real doctor competent in hearing patients and managed to listen to me, give me painkillers and the steroid shot my first visit, and had made me feel comfortable enough to share that? If you're a woman, do yourself and do not come see this doctor. He will not take you seriously and is the epitome of what's wrong with how women end up getting treated in American healthcare. I hope he reads this and seriously re-evaluates just how awful he treated me and what malarkey it is to have charged me for that first visit. Because of him, even though I came to him in early January 2019, after experience pain the last week of December of 2018, it wasn't until March that I got surgery and was finally not in pain anymore.

For over a year I was in her care following a car accident and while I saw her PAs every few weeks, I only saw her on a rare occasion - such as at the start and at the end of care when she suggested surgery to remove a metal plate in my arm due to the bone being supposedly healed and to lower the persistent pain I had which she felt was due to the plate placement. She removed the plate via surgery (which took place a little over one year after the car accident). Post surgery, I continued to have pain which increased in intensity. Turns out the bone had never healed and she failed to detect it during the surgery to remove the plate or during my monthly office visits with xrays. I had another ortho doctor go back in to add the plate back and now my bone is fully healed and generally pain free.

Dr Philip Krueger saved my life…read more In 2011, when I was 22 years old, a mass was discovered in the soft tissue above the T10 vertebrae of my spine. After several tests it was determined to be an encapsulated tumor, that was causing me severe back pain. Dr Krueger removed it and sent it to be tested in Seattle. It was determined to be non-malignant. Dr Krueger told me to continue surveillance, and in 2012 the tumor reoccurred in the same location, this time closer to my spine. The second tumor was mostly encapsulated, but it started a small root into the T10 process. At this time the cancer was reclassified as a malignant chondrosarcoma. These type of tumors do not respond well to chemotherapy or radiation, and require surgical removal of the tumor and a perimeter of tissue around the tumor. Dr Krueger scheduled an emergency surgery, and with the assistance of a spine surgeon, Dr David Jackson, he removed the tumor, my T9 spinal process, and fused my T9-T11. 9 years later I have not had any reoccurrence, and my mobility is great. I of course have some aches due to the hardware on occasion, and a slight hunch due to loss of some of the muscles in my spine from the margin that needed to be cut away, but because they were so aggressive with the procedure the cancer was banished from my system. Not only was Dr Krueger a talented surgeon, but he had a great bedside manner. He was empathetic, kind, and listened patiently to my questions, and addressed my concerns. I'm incredibly grateful for the life I have been able to live since the operation. I have since married, had the opportunity to travel, have a career in public service, and in 2020 gave birth to a daughter. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to have a future.
