Providence St. Peter Hospital

Dr. Halpin is personable, kind and professional. He always answers my questions and is a very skilled surgeon. I’ve had two surgeries under his care. I wouldn’t trust my health to any other orthopedic spine surgeon.

Great Doctor with an outstanding staff. Friendly, accommodating and compassionate.

I am a new patient, visiting due to a painful bunion. The doctor was prompt, taking x-rays before he met with me to save time. His exam was thorough and Dr. Dumontier explained throughout his exam the various conditions and issues, including finding a contributing problem not in my foot! He made...

One more of several visits/procedures with Dr. Helpenstell for my knee that left me wishing he could be my "everything" doctor. I especially appreciate how, as an active outdoor enthusiast himself, he understands how important it is to get his Ortho patients up and moving asap. Dr. Helpenstell is...

I was very impressed with everything. Dr Will explains everything before proceeding with anything Very understanding.

I felt very confident that he was being honest and cared about my back

I have seen Dr. Julin annually for about 12 years and my daughter was a patient of his for 5 or 6 years. I have found him to be very attentive, candid, and personable. He certainly has substantive knowledge of my condition (A-fib) and has provided excellent care. His staff can be a little cranky...

Dr. Carpenter is a very caring doctor. He takes the time to listen and understand What Issues you may have related to your neck and spine and how he can help you live a better life and help you manage your pain.

A+

He's friendly personable doctor. Explains everything as he's doing them is up front that procedure may cause discomfort and what you might experience. He's great!

Very professional and understand. Listens to needs and presents all options for pain management.

as always, was a great appt!

This visit, being on-line and not in-office, was different, but I was able to let Dr. know what was going well and what wasn't. And,of course, he gave me some ideas on what I should do to make it go better. All in all a good visit given the circumstances.

Knowledgeable, spent time with me, explained things, didnt push surgery, I felt very comfortable

Dr Cates is the family doctor for both my elderly parents. When their health started declining, I had to step in and help manage their care. Dr. Cates has been wonderfully compassionate and caring, and always ensures we understand what's going on. He is a true gem.

She very Profesional and very kind and caring at the same. She was more than happy to answer all my questions. Can't say enough good stuff about her

Greatest doctor visit in my lifetime. I'm 56 years old and Dr. Braun spent a long time with me asking about all my ailments. Highly recommend!

I have seen Dr Abbott several times throughout the years. I put complete trust in him.

Dr. Byrd performed my Carpal Tunnel surgery on Jun 26, 2020. Dr. Byrd came and saw me just before going into the surgery room and his manner and calmness helped me relax before the surgery started. He is an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon whom I would openly refer him to anyone who needs surgery on...

Dr. McKay was thorough in his inspection of the imaging, and saw what others didn't catch, I am so Grateful for him. He repaired my R bicep tendon. Others would have left me to suffer with pain and lack of range of motion. He did a Great job, very personable as well. I recommend him.

Two new disks, some rods & screws, and the numb hands went away the minute I woke from surgery, I would recommend her.

I am about 98-99 % recovered. My pain is zero. Scale 0-10. Very good visit to check up on me as follow-up and monitor my condition.

Dr. Manista listens well and explains your current condition well. He covers all options available and makes recommendations based on what is best for you. His manner is professional and caring. I feel comfortable asking him any questions and know that he will give me the best advice.

Dr. McKay is courteous, professional and the best in the area. Dr. McKay's excellent diagnostic skills found a problem in my shoulder my former surgeon had overlooked.

If I could, I’d leave at least 10 stars! I needed a laminectomy. Dr. Smitherman has a delightful bedside manner! She discussed all the options and I did try another approach which did not work. I went back to Dr. Smitherman and scheduled surgery. It immediately solved a 35 year problem with...

Dr Carpenter is very knowledgeable and answers questions willingly. He makes you feel you are in great hands especially if you need surgery which I did. His support staff are wonderful too!

Dr. Dumontier has helped my husband recover from a very nasty fall that shattered his ankle. He is very thorough and took time to explain procedures, and there were several, and answer any questions we had. My husband and I are very happy we found him and he will be our go to Dr if future procedures...

Dr. McKay is Great doctor he put my shoulder back to gather

Dr. Manista has been my doctor for several years. He has been nothing but the best. He listens to me and explains everything thoroughly. He is not just a doctor. He is very caring and compassionate. I will never let another doctor touch my spine. Dr. Manista is the BEST!!!

Dr. Reinke has been my primary care physician for, I'd guess, over 20 years. In that time he has literally saved my life several times by correctly diagnosing and treating me for my medical issues of which I think I have more than my fair share ;-) He is thoughtful, very well read and takes the time...

Months ago I had an angiogram because of chest pain. I saw two cardiologists and an internist. All of these physicians missed the fact that I had had a myocardial infarction. I switched to Dr. Dunn for a second (third?) opinion. He provided good conscientious care and after realizing I wasn't...

Excellent communication and very caring! 3 months post lumbar fusion and I’m very happy with outcome. Thank you Dr. Manista and staff!!

From our first meeting after my injury, Dr. Manista impressed me. He listened intently to my concerns, replied with directness, and was totally reassuring throughout. His encouragement, depth of understanding my situation (both physical and emotional) was, and still remains the cornerstone of my...

Dr Calvert performed my c section. It was the first time I met her. She was nice and explained everything, the c section was quick and the incision was very low and healed great!

My 17 year old son needed ACL surgery.

Friendly efficient staff. Dr Yamamoto was thorough beyond what I expected. I feel that my surgery will be in great hands!

Dr Halpin is so knowledgeable in his field that I feel very reassured when talking with him.

Very good experience with Dr Christ and his staff, recovery was better than anticipated.

Dr. Calvert has poor bedside manner. At every appointment she made me feel that I was making symptoms up and that I was an inconvenience. She was unfocused and short in all visits. When discussing recent medical conditions diagnosed by my PCP she stated that it wasn't a true presentation of the...

Very impressed with my new orthopedic doctor. He is not quick to replace knee instead using injections

Very effective and efficient as well as a pleasant experience. Dr. Christ, Jennifer, and other staff were all friendly and helpful. Problem was quickly identified and resolved for now.

I’ve seen Dr. McCloskey since the day I was born, I’m 30 now. He’s always been professional and very knowledgeable. Thoroughly answers all my questions. I trust him with my life! I could not imagine seeing another heart doctor. McCloskey is the best!

Initial visit was impressive with his knowledge and sincerity. Accent and face mask were hindrances but were managed.

I just had my first visit and was impressed with how thorough he was. He never made me feel like he was rushed to go to his next patient. He also personally called that evening of my visit as promised to up-date me about further care he was making available to me

Dr. Halpin took the time to listen to my questions and concerns and give me clear and concise information so that I can be an active participant in my healthcare management.

Dr. Carpenter and his team are always on time with appointment schedules! He always meet me with a genuine smile and greeting! He's very knowledgeable of my back issues and has always chosen the best and expeditious course of action to relieve my pain!

Very caring. Listen to me and my concerns and answered all my questions. Laughed at my jokes.

If you have to get cut. This is the guy to do it. He has gone the extra mile to make sure that you the patient matter. Also the staff in his office are very professional and always smiling. Highly recommend Olympia orthopedic if you find yourself in a situation you didn't plan to be in.

He and his teem has ben keeping me very well informed about my upcoming Surgery even amidst all of the shutdowns they have been very professional

I saw Dr Abbott for the first time this week and liked him, feel he spent adequate time with me, took the time to explain things. I'm going back next week for an injection with a lot of hope that I will get pain relief.

Does not explain what to do with your condition still have problem don't know what to do

This was my second hand carpal tunnel procedure and with a cyst this time with this Pro. Dr. Byrd will get my accolades for years. I can finally sleep after 5 years of pain and degradation in both arms and hands allowing no deep sleep. He is an absolute professional. and I highly recommend him....

Dr. DuMontier is awesome. From the check in process to his MA’s- everything was great. Dr. DuMontier listened to my problems and conducted a flawless exams to determine my severe sprain along with a broken Fibula. I will never go to another Orthopedic. I highly recommend Dr. DuMontier and Olympia...

DR. Manista was very pleasant,knowledgeable, and thorough. He was also very articulated in explaining my medical issues. I was in an out in under an hour, which included X-rays. I was very satisfied with my visit.

Great

They are good and fast

Great Dr. Patient, professional and knowledgeable. Performed spinal fusion on my Lower back. Great follow up, and one year later, my primary complaint of Sciatica pain has been alleviated. I highly recommend.

Dr DuMontier is friendly, clear in his explanations, thorough and patient with my questions. He seemed intimately familiar with ankle injuries like mine, and confident in his diagnosis. He proceeded convincingly to a plan of care that made sense to me, and his staff was equipped to execute that plan...

Personable and knowledgeable. Asked the right questions. Excellent rapport. My first meeting with him and was via Zoom/Virtual meeting. Had good and practical treatment suggestions.

As always Dr Manista explained what he would be doing during surgery, the outcome, recovery time and after care. He is always professional but shows that he cares and me on a personal level. The surgery was successful and he was excited about what he was able to accomplish. I have the utmost trust...

I liked Dr. Moore although I had to wait 45 minutes to see him. He was thorough and the appointment was great.

Thorough, talks common language, caring

I have been a patient of Dr Yamamoto’s for over 10 years. He has always provided excellent professional care and always has the best interest of his patients in mind. He really takes the time to explain things and takes into consideration the conversations with his patients. I would highly recommend...

I had one on site visit & 3 virtual visits. 1st visit, Dr. determined extent of injury. Subsequent virtual visits, he advised on care and monitored progress. Very professional, personable and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.

Been to Dr Bowles 3 times for foot surgery he was the best his staff was always friendly. fixed what my old foot doctor messed up!!!

Have had excellent service with doctor McKay and his staff.put me at ease from the first visit explained everything to expect with my surgeries. Would without a doubt recommend him to anyone I know for help with thier problems.

Dr. Li is not useful. He replicated an order for a test already scheduled, talked a bit, negated a previous diagnosis, changed his mind, and left something off my medical record, requiring me to return for correction. I'm about to cancel the follow-up appointment.

People are saying this guy is rude — which he is — but I have a fresh one for you: On my first appointment, he had the gall to ask me whether I was heterosexual or homosexual. Since, (a) that is none of his business, and (b) it has nothing to do with my condition, I answered, "Neither." Next, he...

Dr. Goin is a very great physician ; he has been my doctor since 1988. He is the very best.

Saw Dr. Bradford after learning My thyroid condition more severe than originally thought. He took the time to explain my diagnosis, answered my questions, set out a plan to progressively check my symptoms. He was not rushed. Pleased with my experience.

The digital meeting was very easy and helpful, Dr. Peterson showed me models of where the fracture was and how it can be treated . I felt reassured by his words and “virtual bedside manner “ . I am looking forward to an actual meeting with him in two weeks .

I just had a 6-month follow up on a full ankle replacement on my left leg (had the right ankle replaced 2 years ago). This was a great visit - Covid has reduced the traffic at the clinic and Dr DuMontier had plenty of time to review my progress and answer questions. He’s a technical genius and a...

At three months the results of my lumbar fusion have been outstanding. I woke up from the surgery with 18 months of severe sciatica gone! Another surgeon had recommended more severe lumbar surgery fusing three joints, which worried me regarding the stress placed on the adjacent joints. Dr. Manista...

Dr. Peterson and his staff are great. Hes allways pleasant to talk to and a great listener. He has helped me with sholder injuries and knee. I trust his knowledge and experience and would recommend him to family and friends.

Dr. Abbot is clear and concise in his explanations, follows the conservative treatment first philosophy, and hands off smoothly to the other providers if surgery becomes warranted.

My wife was accepted as a new patient by Dr. Duncan at a time he wasn't accepting new patients when he learned that my wife had a lump on her temple and her ex-MD thought it was a skin condition. Dr. Duncan made room in his schedule to examine her and immediately referred her to a very competent...

Pretty dismal. Took in my 92 year old aunt for a variety of foot issues: hammertoe, swelling, chronic and occasionally acute pain, neurological foot pain. After a wait of over an hour past appointment time he did a cursory evaluation and said he couldn't do anything until we had her seen by a...

Good he was on time and we did get a couple of reminder calls. The call went smoothly.

Explained the processa nd procedures in detail.Performed the surgery as explained, followed up thoroughly Great job by a great team

He was very thorough , quick and to the point , very understanding and got my surgery done in a timely manner. I was in pain since the end of november and he figured it out in one day

Dr. Mainista told me that I needed neck surgery, and as it turns out, it wasn’t really medically necessary. He refused to order a steroid injection because he wanted me to have surgery. He tried to convince me to do the procedure that was not going to make my condition any better in the long run...

Excellent as always

I have been a patient of Dr Ryan Halpin for about 4 years. He is very professional,knowledgeable, he is very good at what he does. I would definently recommend him to anyone who is looking to find a neurosurgeon. His MA's are amazing and the front office staff definently make feel at ease.. Alao,...

Had a video conference with him about my hand issues. He was very attentive and explained everything well. Because of the virus I will have to wait to get a face to face appointment to discuss treatment.

Dr Manista is an excellent surgeon who got me through my back operation surgically, physically and emotionally. Every question I presented him with was answered thoroughly. He is both professional and approachable with his ethics and his sense of humor.

Dr. Shannon was great. He no longer took patients who had not seen him for a year or so. Dr. Akmal was assigned to me in 2018. She was very inexperienced at drawing liquid from a soft tumor in my thyroid gland. She made several tries. During one of the tries I felt the needle hit something in...

Great! First steroid back injection and I was very apprehensive. Then even more surprised at Dr Abbott’s efficiency which put me at ease and not the least bit painful! I’m on my 2nd day and feel so much better!! He’s my recommendation to go to and I will certainly return as needed-he has a great...

Dr. Manista I really appreciate all he has done and will be doing a man of his word tells you where you understand and as always does it with a smile., I appreciate all the staff and Dr. Scott Adams . Never forget Dr. Zechman.... Thanx again.

My first orthopedic telephonic appointment impressed as always Dr. McKay is very Thorough

I went for a spinal shot for lower back pain. Dr. Abbott explained the procedure and it took about five minutes on the table and it was done. Extremely little pain and no after-effects. All in all, it was a very professional job.

Dr. Ryan Will = Nightmare! 1/31/20 Husband was referred to Oly Ortho by family dr. after smashing his right middle finger. Alex Pittman sent him home with a splint saying he'd call in a week or 2. 2/4 After 3 days of no sleep & excruciating pain, he is admitted to St Pete's. 2/6 They do an MRI. Dr...

Comprehensive assessment. Addressed my unique situation related to no insurance. Didn't want me to have to pay out of pocket for MRI.

Very up beat, friendly but professional. Explaintions were presented so I could easily understand what was going with my reason I was being treated. Very pleasant experience. Would like my family and friends to see Dr Halpin if necessary.

Attentive and answered all my questions satisfactorily. Explained possible option and requested CT scan to further inform direction of treatment.SC

My experience was very positive. I felt what he had to say was all pertinent and appropriate. I look forward to his helping my foot back to optimal wellness.

Very professional and competent
