I'm 55 and had a bad mountain bike accident - badly tearing a rotator cuff. 8 years prior, I had a…read morepartial tear, so even before the accident my shoulder was not right. Dr. Lewicky was my 2nd opinion. When I asked if I would get a 100% recovery, the 1st doc said people "my age" should only expect 80%. Dr. Lewicky, however, said I might even recover OVER 100%, since he might be able to fix what was wrong before the accident. Plus, he was very engaged in our meetings and seemed to care about how much I wanted my active life to continue. His optimism and passion helped give me the right attitude, and by 3-4 months into rehab I was indeed better than before. As of 6 months, my shoulders are better than ever. Good doctors are skilled. Great doctors help us be a better partner in recovery.

Nightmare experience. Stay away. Very poor communication system and conflicting info…read more What kept running through mind through all of this is what would we be dealing with if my husband had the surgery with Dr Hijji and had post-operative needs. Based on our experiences with their system of communication he would be on his own. We had a consultation with Dr Hijji about 2 weeks ago that went well. We were very impressed with Dr Hijji's approach and direct manner. During the appointment, Dr Hijji instructed my husband to provide him with recent MRI images and told him when he received/reviewed them we could set up a teleconference visit (we live 5 hours from Flagstaff) and he would provide his recommendations. Trying to submit the MRI images and schedule the follow-up tele health visit became a nightmare. I was first instructed to mail the MRI images to their admin offices in Phoenix. Several days after trying to contact his staff through his portal and receiving no reply I was contacted by Dr Hijji's medical assistant and she instructed me to send the MRI images to the Northern Arizona office location in Flagstaff. After sending the images and waiting 7 days to ensure they arrived I then called and received the message from the Admin staff that the images (CD) had not been received, Furthermore, they indicated they no longer offered Tele-health visits. I placed a message to the patient portal to Dr Hijjis team and received a message thru the patient portal that if I wanted a follow-up visit I would need to schedule an appointment at their Prescott location? I had been instructed to send the CD images to Flagstaff office. What kept running through mind through all of this is what would we be dealing with if my husband had the surgery with Dr Hijji and had post-operative needs. Based on our experiences with their system of communication he would be on his own. I guess better to find this out now but it was a large waste of time and energy.

When I came back up to prescott I got a knee replacement from another Doctor here and had a bad experience. So another medical professional suggested I should go see Dr. Williams again and he help me so much and doesn't just want to rush me into another Knee Replacement. After studying my Xrays carefully he stated that he wanted to try a more conservative approach with some shots to calm down the pain and clean all the junk out of my knee. Then he suggest looking into a lesser surgery on my knee. His whole staff is great and I love his more conservative approach to helping me!

Dr. Judah Pifer is not a surgeon who simply wants to make a payment on his mortgage. If he does not…read morefeel the patient requires direct surgery, he will not operate. This is my experience. When I first broke my kneecap, I went to Dr. Chun at Granite Ortho. He was rude and arrogant from the first visit. He did repair my broken patella. Sadly, two weeks later, my patella repair rebroke. The surgeon did not want to repair my kneecap a second time. He actually refused and said it would heal itself. Well, that, sadly, was not the case. Dr. Chun is no longer with Granite Ortho. Dr. Pifer required an MRI of my knee. Now, he believes that it is best to leave it as is for the next three years until the arthritis begins to cause noticeable discomfort. At that time, he will do a complete knee replacement. Today, Dr. Pifer gave me a steroid shot to ease the pain. My knee now feels fine. It still looks a mess, but it is working, and I can climb stairs with only mild discomfort rather than extreme pain. He indicated that the average time could be from 2 to 5 years without pain. Lastly, Dr. Pifer has prescribed a course of rehabilitation, something my 1st dr. did not even suggest.

My first one a year and a half ago gave me a great deal of relief for quite a while, but they don't last forever.

I was in and out in less than 2 hours.
