“Great experience, yet again!”

I had another great experience with Dr. Tony, going in for my third surgery this year and it was so reassuring to have someone that I fully trusted for the operation as well as the post-op care. He is the best and I feel so fortunate to have him as my surgeon! Everyone in his office is also awesome!

“Back in the saddle because of Dr. Tony!”

Dr. Tony worked with me on surgery dates to increase the time I could spend skiing in the spring but reduce the downtime of biking. As soon as he felt confident with my recovery process, I was allowed to get back on the bike working towards full recovery. Couldn't be happier with the surgery, recovery or process dealing with Dr. Tony and staff. Grateful to have a skilled doctor like Dr. Tony in our valley!

“Always the best service and energy!”

From the minute you enter the office (really even before) you are treated with respect and attention. I have said this before many times...the Wood River Valley is lucky to have Dr. Tony as a resident and a top Ortho Doctor.

Diane the asst is super and "on it already" as needed. It was my fist time meeting Hanna, Dr's Asst...and I really like her professional demeanor and energy!

And Tony is easily the best... I really mean that!

Thanks guys!

“Dr. Tony was incredibly thorough and thoughtful.”

I have now seen Dr. Tony for different sports injuries. In both cases his expertise, understanding and advice were excellent. I really appreciated how thoughtful he was in examining my injuries, waiting to see how a more conservative approach would work and not making a snap judgement to do surgery. He questioned me extensively and really listened to my responses. His approach inspired great trust in his ability to make the right calls for me. I am so grateful to him for helping me overcome both my shoulder and knee injuries. He is a phenomenal doctor.
