he did a second orthopedic arthroscopic on my left knee. Went to a doctor first time had it done and reinjure again at work. All he told my wife that cleaned it up again and I will have to deal with pain. Not good for a doctor to say that or blame the doctor who is dying. Been to him number of times still no answers or solutions from him. About my knee.seems just to get you in and out , not very. Caring about people pain or feelings. Seems like is or was on labor and industry experts claims people.

Great doc, great staff! I had a previous shoulder surgery by a surgeon at Wenatchee valley clinic that became infected right after the surgery and I ended up barely able to move my arm. Dr. S. and staff gave me back a fully functioning shoulder. These are the guys to see!

This Dr. Does not believe in pain management. After the procedure he gives you an amount of pain meds and God forbid if you need more. I followed the correct dosage and didn't even have enough for a full week. When the nurse called one week later I asked for more and her response was "I'm sorry but the Dr. Doesn't believe in pain management." I can understand the need for pain med control, but all the Dr has to do is call the insurance to see if I've gotten any pain meds from any other Dr and he'd see that I haven't before him. So now I'm stuck at home in pain because this Dr is extremely unfeeling.
