I was seen by Ryan Spiker for a roof that had collapsed in on me... I got the typical run around and waited weeks to be told everything with the MRI was normal except a bulge in my C5, C6 and C7. I was then sent to see several other doctors for nerve problems. I then returned about 5 months later for a to check up on these bulges in my C5, C6 and C7.... WHAT A FREAKING JOKE! They do more x rays and then come back saying everything is normal and have no explanation why my neck is still popping! Yet they tell me I have carpal tunnel... HOW ARE THE TWO RELATED??? I also personal handed my disability paper to Dr Ryan Spiker to fill out witch they lost and had to have another company fax it to them several other times. Then they listed that is was carpal tunnel that caused my problems... Ha, really??? YOU REALLY THINK PEOPLE ARE THAT STUPID??? I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THE U OF U OF ANY KIND AND WOULD GLADLY DIE INSTEAD OF BEING AROUND ANY OF THESE MONEY HUNGRY DOCTORS! HOW YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT IS BEYOND ME!

Had a injury to my knee and did not understand what was wrong considering I did not physically do anything to it. I saw an orthopedic at the Redwood location she was very nice and informative. Then had to complete physical therapy before I could have an MRI which is due to my insurance nothing to do with the office. Within 24 hours I was told I needed to see the orthopedic surgeon. Schedule appointment dr. Grise and I am extremely happy with him and his team. Anytime Ive had a problem or concern they were on top of things. I had an issue with my insurance the day of my surgery and the insurance department made sure I was able to have my surgery done. I still see the doctor for my follow-up so I actually go today. I definitely recommend going to this orthopedic I have only seen Emily Harold and dr. Grise and I also went to physical therapy with dr. Jarrett esplin he is also a wonderful person and a great therapist.

After being in a horrible car accident I had horrible shoulder and neck pain. I went to not one but two different doctors. First doctor was a shoulder specialist who did over 4 different tests and said nothing was wrong. But I was still in pain so he sent me to a neck specialist. I did another 4 MRIs and 3 other test and one of my MRIs showed fluid build up on my spine so she sent me for another MRI. But surprise surprise that came back just fine. All the doctors think I am faking it. It has been almost 6 months since my car accident and I am getting worse. I cant even move my arm or shoulder. I cant hold anything in my hand. My arm is numb. You cant fake swelling. All of my test show I have major swelling In my shoulder and neck. My physical therapist has found more stuff on my tests than my doctors have.

Dr. Hutchinson has changed my life. I blew my fingers to pieces when I was a child. He saved 7 and 2/3 of my 10 fingers. After several surgeries and physical therapy I was able to recover all my movement in my hands and fingers with the exception of only one knuckle. I cant fully express the gratitude I have in my heart to him for his dedication to his skill and experience as a surgeon. Not to mention he is just a great all around person! Today, 23 years later, I saw him for my ulnar nerve in my right elbow. He is every bit of the same genuine & caring person he was when I was 11 years old. He loves what he does and it shows. I couldnt recommend a more experienced and caring surgeon than Doctor Hutchinson.

Great experience with shoulder surgery by Dr. Tashjian. I injured by left shoulder and had it repaired eight years ago in Boston by another doctor - the surgery was extensive, and it took months of rehab until I could use my shoulder. After moving to Utah, I came to Dr. Tashjian with the same injury on the right side. He offered me a less-invasive surgery than what was done in Boston. My recovery time was much faster - a couple of weeks instead of months, and I have had no ongoing problems now several years later. Thanks, Dr. Tashjian!

Love Dr. Kubiak and his nurse. Unfortunately he moved to Las Vegas for a much better job. I have had 26 knee surgeries and my right leg would never work right. It was causing problems with my back and hip. The first time I met Dr. Kubiak he asked what he could do for me and I asked for my leg to be cut off. He was shocked but did everything the insurance would require first then agreed with me. It has been about 2 years. Im struggling right now but also have a broken wrist. Kubiak is the best Dr. Ive ever had.

Terrible communication with patients. Slow, no urgency. No one really seems to answer to anyone or care at all. My surgery was rescheduled without any one updating me. When I arrived(after fasting all night and day) I was told Id have to wait 2 more hours. Inconvenience to me but especially my family. I asked to speak with a coordinator about what happened. Instead, an angsty and defensive nurse tried to tell me it was my fault. People come here for help; not to be toyed with and jerked around.

They did great work with my broken finger, however watch out with your insurance benefits. They try to bill through the hospital system which in turn forgoes some of the benefits you thought you had. My insurance covers x-rays 100% but with the way the U of U Orthopaedic center bills I had to pay like 90 bucks and x-ray on top of the co-pay for a specialist. Great place, but if you can find a dr not associated with a hospital do your self the favor and see them instead and save some money.

Dr. Aoki is the best surgeon around. His bedside manner is amazing and he will really listen to you and help you understand what is going on. I also have to comment on how great the staff at the Physical Therapy center are. Ive seen several different therapists and every one of them has been really helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone with a knee injury requiring surgery or physical therapy.

I was at classic roller skating and I fell and hurt my wrist. Turned out to be a fractured distal radius. After they put a cast on me and checked the x-rays I was told I may NOT need surgery. After six weeks when the cast came off I was relieved to find out that they did not suggest surgery for my fractured wrist. The care I received was top notch and I am glad to have the expert care they provided.

I love the Physical Therapists here. They are top of the line and well versed in their respective fields. Lots of equipment to utilize and even a therapy pool too. Jenna and Lee have really helped me to get further in my treatment than anyone else. My only complaint is that getting an appointment here is very difficult! They are always booked out months in advance. But definitely worth the weight!
