Oh my God,,, you are not going to believe this group. From the moment that you walk in the door,…read moreyou are treated like a friend, not a customer. The staff is beyond nice and so professional that you immediately feel that you have nothing to worry about.... and then, you get to meet the nicest doctor on the Planet... Dr. James Van Horn. A warm smile and a hug. Your worries melt away. My right hip was replaced by Dr. Van Horn at the Grants Pass Surgery center. They too require a huge shout out for courtesy and professionalism. I walked in the door at 5:45 AM and by 7:30 I was in surgery. By 9:30 AM, I was awake and eating a sandwich... I took a pain pill, got up and walked through the center, went to the restroom and back to recovery. I had a little more to eat and was then released by 11:30 AM. The pain was all but Non-Existent. I made it home and was walking in my Neighborhood by 1:00 PM! My neighbors asked me when I had surgery. When I said 5 hours ago... they were amazed. I had to use a walker for 3 days and a cane for a couple of weeks, not so much for pain but for safety. By the Sunday following the surgery (just 3 days later), I stopped taking the pain medication and had no real pain at all. I do recommend that you do follow the Pre-Op and the Post-Op Physical Therapy very carefully!!! Keep your leg elevated and iced for two weeks when you are not walking. Also, on your own, exercise a heavily several weeks in advance... it is well worth your time and you can make it fun... remember that, you are getting a "New lease on life",,, Don't waste it! Thank you Dr. Van Horne for removing 100% of my hip pain and letting my have my life back! I haven't been this happy in several years. Glenn Woodbury Eagle Point, Oregon

I'm not sure I should even give a 1 star rating. I always had a good relationship with Dr. Van…read moreHorne, I just never liked what he did to me. I'll add pictures here that tells about my experience, the last 3 I took this morning showing all the dry skin on both legs. For the past 13 years I have never been without pain and problems. 'HERE IS MY WRITTEN RECORD" After receiving new hip 9 Apr. 2007 I started having problems with my legs (swelling and sudden sharp leg pains). From my knees down my legs turned red. 11\fs26 Sep. Got letter from Dr Van Horne office about bad DePuy ASR hip replacement implant from 9 Apr. 2007. 23 Sep. Called Dr Van Horne and was told to call Johnson & Johnson for Claim #. Called Johnson & Johnson and was given Claim # 186102756. Called Dr Va Horne's office and left Claim # on voice mail. 28 Sep. Appointment with Dr Countiss, was told I should contact Dr Van Horne about making an appointment. 29 Sep. Called Dr Vanhorne about appointment and got voice mail. 30 Sep. Dr Vanhorne's office called and gave appointment dates 4 Nov. for Imaging and 18 Nov. to see Dr Vanhorne. 5 Oct. Johnson & Johnson called to give me some information and ask me if Dr Vanhorne had recommended the DePuy hip. ( The answer to that was yes) Received letter from Broadspire informing me that DePuy would pay all of my out of pocket expenses including the deductibles and co-pays. 8 Oct. Called Black Chapman & Webber. 4 Nov. Went to Imaging, 18 Nov. Went to Paragon (Dr Vanhorne) and was told that I should have hip replaced as soon as possible due to problems shown on Imaging. (Note: I was first scheduled for Surgery the last of Jan. but did not go to surgery till the 24th of Feb.. Dr Vanhorne felt I needed to go to Radiation for treatment just before surgery. Treatment was $2413.00) 29 Nov. Started Physical Therapy. (approx. $169.00 a session for a total of over $4000.00.) December: 1, 6, 8,13,15, 20, 22 Physical Therapy. 24 Feb. Day of surgery. Reported early so I could go to Radiation just before surgery. Radiation was needed to stop unwanted bone growth caused from the first hip replacement 9 Apr. 2007. Dr Countiss ask to assist in this surgery and Dr Vanhorne allowed him to do so. I was later told by Dr Countis that Dr Vanhorne got a little rough and had to apply a lot of pressure trying to grind out my new hip joint, He told me that it took most all his strength to hold me onto the operation table. 27 Feb. Discharged from 3 Rivers Hospital after surgery to go home. March - Physical Therapy 10, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, and 30 March. 28 Mar. Appointment at Paragon (Dr Vanhorne). April - Physical Therapy 1, 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22,27, and 29 (last day) April. My symptoms since Hip Surgery 9 Apr. 2007. (1) I have experienced fatigue ever since first surgery. (2) Had sensations down my leg off and on day and night of like a hot electrical shock, with tingling. (3) Up on standing I was unable to start walking for a few moments. I would try to, but my leg wouldn't work. (4) I had as much pain in my hip as I had before my first surgery and I still limped as bad on it as I did before, in spite of how hard I tried not to. (5) I have been unable to do a lot of the things I normally did all the time, before my first surgery, like mowing the lawns, doing a little work on my pickup, and things with my horses, which was my hobby. Also I couldn't do home improvement projects like I had in the past. (6) Problems standing up and setting down. (Always) (7) Hard getting in and out of car. (Always) (8) Right leg was asleep and numb almost constantly after surgery. Even woke me up at night. Right leg gets numb setting in car. Sometimes there is a pain similar to frost bite or lack of circulation and the numbness can causes problems when driving . (Always when over half an hour) (9) Sore muscles all the time in lower back, hips, and legs. (10) Can't take a step for a couple moments after standing up. Muscles are stiff and must loosen up before stepping away. (Always) (11) Hurts to walk. (12) Can't bend over to pick something up off from floor. Back, legs and hips hurt when trying to do so. (13) Back is always sore. (14) Can't put sock on right foot or tie shoe without help. (15) Legs swell, gets burning sensation and sometimes itch real bad. Sometimes I draw blood from scratching. (16) Bursitis in left hip. (17) I've noticed that my right foot sometimes turns in when I'm walking. Maybe due to tightening of leg muscles. (18) Lots of headaches. (19) Laying on my left side will cause my hip to ache. (20) One of the most challenging aspects of of the entire experience has been trying to stay in a good frame of mind. I have never liked to see people set around and feel sorry for themselves, so I have dealt with it on a day to day basis. It is now 2/4/2026 "Note, after all these years I still suffer leg pains and skin problems" In total I have had 3 hip replacements, 2 on my right side and 1 on my left.

Finding ourselves in Ashland and my wife having lower back issues, we set about finding a…read moreAcupuncturist on short notice. Contacting Ashland Acupuncture, they were able to fit us in on short notice. Suzanne Sky was extremely nice and welcoming. She was very thorough in checking my wife's history and going into detail about her past and current back condition. The session was professional and was a success in relieving some of the pressure and pain. Suzanne was pleasant throughout the experience and the charges were reasonable. She prepared material for us to submit for our insurance. Our sole mild criticism was that her 'needle' technique was a little rough in a couple of places. But, again, it was a very successful experience and we would not hesitate to recommend her or return if we find ourselves back in the area!

Super disappointing that they claim to "do things differently". However, if you have cancer, please…read moreexpect to be told you will have to go get chemotherapy and then they will try to undo the poisoning with IV Vitamin C therapy. They have no clue of how to cure the incurables. I guess Dr. Richard Schulze was right when he said that the Naturopathic schools of today are worthless. $700 just to walk in the door and then be told you will have to go to the cut/burn/poison crowd. If you want to heal yourself of anything, go to ebay and purchase the Sam Biser "Save Your Life Herbal Video Collection". I did that Incurables Program from Dr. Richard Schulze to get rid of a 2" malignant breast tumor. If I could do it, so can you. Honestly, I thought Dr. Chris would want to know what I did. He was blown away because he was never taught how to heal cancer and I really thought he'd want to know so he could save other patients from the hell of chemotherapy, which my mother went through. But, no, I guess not. I'm just some sort of anomaly and it's back to business as usual, which is refer cancer patients to chemotherapy. Not seeing things being done differently here. Looks like standard American Medical Association policy to me. :(

My wife and I saw Dr. Smith intermittently for about a year. I initially consulted him regarding…read morethe use of peptides for insomnia and memory issues, while my wife sought help for histamine-related symptoms. At first, I was impressed by his thorough note-taking and the amount of time he spent reviewing our histories. In that respect, he appears to provide a high-quality service I agree with other reviewers who have criticized his prescribing practices. Even if a patient is already taking numerous supplements--which is generally inadvisable--he routinely adds more. Excessive supplementation can overwhelm the liver and other regulatory systems. A sound long-term health strategy usually emphasizes fewer supplements at lower doses. Based on my experience, he seems more focused on selling supplements from his in-house vitamin shop than on minimizing risk to the patient. His approach could best be described as a "shotgun" method. He frequently prescribed four or five supplements or medications at once, making it impossible to determine which product is helping, which is ineffective, or which may be causing adverse reactions. In my wife's case, most of the supplements and medications either caused side effects or had no benefit at all. More concerning was his apparent lack of interest in identifying root causes. My wife's care focused almost entirely on symptom management rather than diagnostic testing. It was only after persistent urging on my part that he agreed to order a breath test for SIBO. When the test returned positive for hydrogen-dominant SIBO, he dismissed the result outright--despite confirmation from her primary care physician and the testing company. After several more unproductive visits, we paused treatment and pursued further evaluation independently. A colonoscopy revealed small-mouthed diverticula in the ascending colon near the ileocecal valve. These pockets can trap stool, promote bacterial overgrowth, contribute to SIBO, and potentially trigger mast cell activation. My wife's symptoms align closely with both conditions. At our final appointment, I informed him that I had important new diagnostic information to share. Despite this, he continued prescribing additional supplements. Only near the end of the visit did he ask about the new findings. After explaining the colonoscopy results, he again denied that she had SIBO. This raised an obvious question: why were medications and supplements prescribed before meaningful diagnostic work was done? Why did I have to initiate these tests myself? My own experience with peptides raised additional red flags. My first peptide order was shipped from a pharmacy in Phoenix, Arizona, on a day when temperatures was around 100°F. The peptide arrived two days later already reconstituted, packaged with minimal insulation and a single small ice pack. Peptides are fragile compounds that degrade easily when exposed to heat or transport stress and should never be shipped after reconstitution. When I raised these concerns, Dr. Smith insisted the peptide would still be effective, but that is not what the science says. That shipment cost me approximately $200 in unusable product. I later ordered a different peptide during cooler weather. This time the peptide arrived lyophilized, but it took over 14 hours at room temperature to fully dissolve--far longer than expected. After injecting, I experienced flu-like symptoms and contacted Dan Smith again. He offered no explanation for the prolonged reconstitution time, no guidance on whether the reaction was normal, and no clear dosing protocol. Despite presenting himself as an authority on peptides, he could not provide a standard epitalon protocol or explain expected side effects or indicators of efficacy. I paid him specifically for guidance, yet was left to figure everything out myself. Ultimately, I discontinued use, resulting in another $300 lost--bringing the total cost of unusable peptides to approximately $500.

Didn't like divulging so much personal info before I decided if I was going to go there. Next - at the appointment I walked in the door & was met by a huge dog - Great Dane maybe. Scared me! One of the practitioners brings her dog to work - not thinking maybe a client is scared of or allergic to dogs. I noticed a heavy musty smell and in the small waiting area, there was an old couch that looked like it was salvaged from a garage sale or someone's musty basement. I was kept waiting. This place is way too informal for me. And stinky ... skanky in my opinion. I wrote a note for the PT and left. Couldn't stand the smell and the dog! I will seek a more clinical or sports medicine type environment for my physical therapy.

Dr. Van Horn used the wrong device in my left hip. He was experimenting with the device that it…read moreonly been on the market one year. I can only imagine that for some reason he received compensation to try a new unit. It was much too small for my stature and it's split my femur when he installed it. They did not catch this problem for 2 weeks and the device rocked around inside of my femur until it snapped it completely in half. He was thin on a four-week vacation in Peru so he hired an underling to work on me. That person wasn't qualified and destroyed the femur again. Two months after that operation the metal plate the installed snapped again so now I had a donut floating around inside of my leg. The pain was excruciating and I spent two years and five operations to be able to barely walk. I laid in the hospital for a total of over 60 days and about 90 days in rehab. I haven't been able to work since so the last two years of my life have been zero income. Tort reform laws in Oregon make it impossible to sue a doctor so there is nothing to be gained from this. I haven't even gotten a phone call or an apology. I would never ever let doctor ho in Medford at Southern Oregon Orthopedics or dr. James Van Horn at Paragon Orthopedics operate on me or relative or friend. They have destroyed my life and there's nothing that I can do about it. Stay the heck away from these companies. There is an expert in Medford Oregon and if you get hold of me personally I will talk to you about it. If you need more information I have a 31 page PowerPoint program with all the operational reports, X-rays and descriptions from three doctors of what they did wrong.
