I was interviewing multiple doctors and he was just one of a few. He answered all my questions and they were extensive. He took the time to explain the procedure and what approach he was going to take. What recovery would look like and all the complications from a major surgery. His compassion was evident and he did not pressure me to chose him. I visited the other doctors and Dr. Richard Grey stood heads and shoulders above them all. I just had the first of two procedures, the procedure went as planned and a good prognosis is indicated. So when it comes time for the second surgery I have no doubt Dr. Gray will be as successful. Again if you need an orthopedic surgeon check Dr. Richard Gray out.

I've been in their care for the better part of a year. Knee issues, requiring steroid injections and finally the need for a full knee replacement. It is now three weeks post-surgery and, according to my team and my Physical Therapist, I am making excellent progress. The surgical scar is impressively short, straight and healing nicely. I can now bend my knee to 90 degrees, with plans to go well beyond that in the coming weeks. I went into this with the expectation that I would be up and about the day of surgery, that I would tackle PT with specific weekly goals in mind and, with the help of my team, would manage the inevitable pain and any unforeseen setbacks. Together, we've done just that. Alex is wonderfully efficient. She, as my main point of contact, ensures that any issues I have are communicated to the right people, appointments are scheduled and prescriptions are refilled in a timely manner. Morgan, Dr. Coray's PA, has been my main point of medical contact post-surgery (so far). She was in attendance during surgery, so she "knows" my knee. Morgan carefully examined the surgical site during my initial follow-up appointment and is happy with progress. Dr. Coray has the quiet demeanor of a skilled, competent surgeon - one who has done this for many years. I liked him immediately. We went over my tests and x-rays, the various alternatives to treatment, and jointly arrived at a plan going forward. No rush, no pressure - he listened carefully and answered all my questions. Bottom line: I highly recommend Dr. Coray and his team. In fact, my left knee will likely require the same surgery in the coming months, and there's no question who will be doing it.

He's been really personable and kind throughout my experience! Overall this has been a great office to help me throughout the healing journey for my hand.

They saw my brother for a broken femur, which is obviously not a small thing, and from the moment we were there, the care felt different. The provider who saw him took her time, didn't rush through anything, and actually answered all of our questions in a way that made sense. You could tell she cared, not just about the injury, but about him as a person going through it. Same goes for her medical assistant. Super kind, attentive, and just easy to talk to. It didn't feel cold or clinical the way some places do. It felt like they actually wanted to make sure we understood everything and felt supported. Honestly, after seeing how they handled his care, I've been seriously considering switching my own care over to them. That says a lot coming from someone who's pretty particular about where I go. If you're dealing with anything orthopedic-related and want a team that actually listens and treats you like a human, I would absolutely recommend them.

Rewind back in June 2023 when the ER in Tacoma sent me home with a compression wrap and an ice pack and told me nothing major was wrong - then after night of excruciating pain my sister drove me an hour north to the Proliance Orthopedic Walk-in up in Tukwila (separate review - also a great experience, all things considered)... it was there they confirmed that there was at LEAST one break and wanted me to get an MRI as soon as possible, and once my MRI confirmed my triple-fracture and also identified the ligament tear I went looking for PSO. Look up a Lisfranc injury. It's usually sports, mine was just bad luck. I identified Dr Gavin Smith as an Orthopedic Podiatrist and Surgeon who seemed like a great fit. He took my case very seriously from the very start, they fit me in as quickly as possible, and once he got my MRI results he took the time to recommend both a surgical and non-surgical route for treatment - being clear the non-surgical did have a higher likelihood of issues from incorrect healing later on - but was genuine and clear that he was supportive of whichever route I chose. Once I chose surgical (which was 4 steel screws to be inserted into my Lisfranc region to stabilize and allow the injuries to heal properly for 12 weeks, then a final surgery to remove the screws with 4-6 weeks of additional recovery time). This sounded like torture but I was determined to see it through. I was right - it was sort of torture. There was a lot of pain and a lot of annoying times I couldn't do what I wanted to or I'd have to do the things a lot more slowly but I made it to my final surgery... now we are in the recovery window and I am 7 days post-op and starting to walk free of any aides and it's glorious. Yay! I can't wait to get my final sutures out and make my way back to full function - I am so grateful to Dr Gavin Smith. He has an excellent "bedside manner" - he is kind and personable but doesn't sugarcoat anything. He's incredibly knowledgeable and well-versed in his field and also super kind. I would recommend him in a heartbeat and if myself or any of my loved ones need an orthopedic podiatrist his office will be my first call. The staff here at PSO is also great - they run on time almost every time. I've only had one appointment where we ran late and they offered to reschedule me if I could not wait. The office is very clean, parking is readily available and free, and the check-in process is very smooth, especially if you check in ahead on your phone!
