Jeanne D.

Originally had appointment to remove my staple's, from a procedure that Dr. Bloom had preformed.Tech had looked at it and said we will have Erica Frazzini look at it. Erica Came in and introduced herself. Very pleasant, never filled rushed. After looking at my heeling process of my elbow. She said we’re going to leave staple’s in for another week. She explain why, because I was wanting to go back to work. Had another issue with my left elbow. Checked it out and had X-ray’s taken. Then explained what it was showing in the images. Followed up with options on PT. So my opinion I would Definitely suggest using Southern Oregon Ortho for your issues.

Rick S.

My recent visit for a consultation regarding a shoulder problem went very well. I was looking for options with my current condition and I was pleased with the information I received. Dr Denard objectively reviewed my specific issue and presented the options in a clear manner. He was very willing to start with the least intrusive and least expensive treatment plan for my condition. He educated me on his reasons for for doing/not doing certain treatments that I had previously not considered. It gave me great peace of mind having all the needed information to make an informed decision moving forward. I've had previous shoulder work done by Dr Denard and his staff several years ago, opposite shoulder, and I am still astounded at the great results. I know several other patients he has treated with similar opinions. We are fortunate to have him as a resource.

Doug B.

I interviewed 2 surgeons prior to seeing Dr. Bents for my total knee replacement and he is the only one that actually listened to me and didn’t rush me out of his office. He made me feel very comfortable about the decision I was making.

I was very pleased with Dr. Owens and his staff. They explained all procedures, answered all questions - there was no rush to get to the next client.

We are very fortunate here in the valley to have his expertise available to us.

He is the best hand surgeon in Oregon. He has also performed elbow surgery as well and I’m extremely satisfied with the results. He has a great bedside manner and talks to you, not at you. A very caring doctor.

Patrick B.

I haven’t had the hip operation yet and only one visit to physical therapy however I feel confident in Dr. Van Horne and his staff after being referred to him by my doctor and reading the testimonials. My only regret about the physical therapy is my memory, I remember the exercises that I need to do but forgot the duration. Next visit I will write them down. Nice people to deal with for such an important preparation for surgery!

You won't find a better doctor than Dr. Owens, period.

William G.

Molly Ludwig was great. She was thorough, attentive and caring. She’s a great addition to the wonderful team of Paragon Orthopedic Center.

Terica S.

On December 2, I saw PA Nolan Keegan at SOO for a read-out on both shoulders per mri and x-trays. Normal tendencies was to talk me into surgery. I was recommended over to the shoulder specialist from Dr. krannenberg whom had seen me for chronic upper back pain resulting both arms going to sleep, or numbness. I don’t want to speak too early, but the steroid shot administered by PA Keegan in my left shoulder has all but stopped the numbness or “going to sleep” in the left arm and most all in the right side, especially during the night. Neither side has awoken me maybe slightly on the right side a time or two and that was just the tingling. I still have muscle aches in both shoulders if I reach above my armpits but most of that stem from torn rotator cuffs and arthritis I believe. Thank you PA Keegan for the decision to give that injection and the relief I have so far. Gratefully yours. Charles Darrell Troxel

Charles T.

Dr. Ho is the best in the business, great experience

Was pleased with the overall experience. Had confidence in Dr Ho and Tyler Southard PA by the way they presented how the procedure would go.

The doctor was very nice, took his time explaining to me what the problem was and what we could do to get rid of the pain. Different options available. A very good, personable doctor.

E.Allene G.

This is my 3rd replacement (a knee and 2 hips) with Dr. Van Horne. I would never consider anywhere or anyone else. Paragon, Three Rivers and Dr. Van Horne are the very best.

Susan E.

I keep saying yes to surveys how many more do you want six or seven?

Michael O.

We have seen many doctors for my husbands pain condition. We appreciated, so much, the time Doctor Krandenburg spent listening to us and evaluating my husbands condition. He made us feel like our situation was of genuine concern and a priority to him. We are so grateful for his attention and expertise.

Sarah A.

I was very impressed with Dr. Phillips during the initial meeting. I am proceeding with a knee surgery he will do soon and am so pleased with the care he and his highly competent medical assistant, Jamie, have given to me, that I have also urged my wife to see him, which she will do in early January (for a fairly serious knee issue from an injury). I trust them, and the other staff/doctors I have previously seen at Southern Oregon Orthopedics. Two thumbs up.

Mark R.

My visit was 6years after knee replacement, 5 years after last checkup. I was told this was the next checkup I would have on my knee and its recovery. I think the system would be better if an automatic reminder went into my file so I do not have to rely on my memory. The medical system touts the ability to track our medical conditions over time....this is a pretty basic step in that process.

Terry R.

My appointment was scheduled 3 months out, due to scheduling for personal care. I arranged an over 2 nite stay for the time of surgery on suggested by staff for a follow up appointment on the day after surgery. I attended my Covid 19 testing and that day at the Surgery Center was told that is where I would be coming for surgery, that was the first time I had been told where surgery would be done, ( I live out of town and had not been given this information). My scheduled time was changed the day before which worked out great for less time to panic about the procedure. At meeting with Dr. Bents pre surgery I asked how I was to schedule the post op for the next day and was told no follow up was necessary, I had booked two nites for that purpose ( communication was bad). I was scheduled to return Nine days after surgery but unable to return due to weather, then returned 13 days later for staple removal. Now that was a not so good return appointment, the removal was the most painful process. The attendants did not know that GLUE had been used and were removing staples which felt like my leg was bein ripped apart, of the 35 or so staples 5plus could not be removed and when Molly came in she had a glue remover pad and removed the rest of the staples.. Molly knew about the remover and someone dropped the ball and didn't tell others. On my last appointment I did mention this to Dr. Bents so this in not new information to him so please do better in providing staff and patients information. Thanks Virginia

Virginia R.

From 1st appointment through surgery and follow up appointments I couldn’t ask for better. Have been made to feel comfortable and cared about that includes checkin, X-rays, and particularly Erica Frazzini and surgeon Dr Bloom

Sandra M.

I'm doing very well. I should of had the hip replacement sooner than Dec 8th. I have no pain and all is good. Thank all of you for the care. Marie B.

Marie B.

Absolutely the best care I have received after a freak accident that sent me to them. Dr. Owens and his staff are amazing! Very kind professional and efficient.

Jennifer B.

I was taken care of immediately, took x-rays, showed me the problem & explained it to my satisfaction , gave me steroid shots in both Thumbs & scheduled Surgery for my Right Hand, Thumb & Elbow. Thank you so much, the pain & numbness with no strength will finally end, see you on the 13 of December

Stephen S.

This experience, like every other with Southern Oregon Ortho, went well. From check-in to x-ray to consultation everyone was professional and friendly. I appreciate their service during the stress of under staffing and current conditions. This was not evident in the care given! We are fortunate to have each one of them in our town. Thank you.

Lorraine K.

Paragon and Three rivers Hospital are the best places to get care. The staff are so caring and Dr. Van Horn is the best. I will never go anywhere else for orthopedics. No one gives the care like they do.

I am so grateful to have this work done, the process was smooth and I’m recuperating quite quickly. Now I feel Dr DeNard and his team will always be a part of me.

MICHAEL N.

So appreciative of every visit from healing an elbow injury, to accompanying a family member’s challenging hip replacement surgery, to evaluating my hip and knee status, were all met with professionalism, care, and approval from a retired nurse practitioner’s critical eye.

Susan B.

Everyone is professional, from the front check in desk to all involved with your appointment. The doctor and nurse will to take the time to answer questions. I never felt rushed or hurried in anyway. With that being said be prepared to wait your turn even after your appointed time. Grateful!
