Was only having othoscopic done, knee was not real bad, while under the knife he had my husband sign for OATS procedure, I’m 5’1, it failed and my tiny knees are compromised with two holes on both sides. He had no explanation to me why he did this while I’m under the knife. He said he could now do total knee replacement. He got his $25,000 pay day and I now have problems walking and it throws my pelvic and back out of alignment. Because my husband signed for this I had no legal recourse. Surgeons want to do surgery and he took advantage and crippled my ability to walk correctly for life.

Dr. Jurist and his staff are awesome! He was able to clearly explain to me what was going on with my knee and didn't simply suggest surgery. Staff was very caring and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Office visit was handled professionally and with courtesy. Dr. Jurist communicated well with me and took the time to explain my injury and best treatment for it. Whole office staff works together and it shows.

Both my son and myself have seen Dr. Jurist and we were very pleased. We were able to get in quickly for both appointments and he was very thorough. They were able to perform x-rays on site and I got the results and his recommendation immediately. The staff was also very friendly and overall we had a great experience and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an orthopedic.

I recently had a total knee replacement done, and Dr. Jurist was my surgeon. He was very thorough in explaining the process, listened to my concerns and gave me the facts straight. I am very pleased with the outcome. It is now 4 months after surgery, my mobility is far better than I ever expected and I have no pain or discomfort.
