Anyone have a orthopedic surgeon they love?? Dr Moss has retired and I'm in search of a new one.
Mary M. replied:
Depends on what you need. Dr. Stanley Waters is great for knees and below and has his own practice in Boise. (208) 322-0485Dr. Jon Getz is for a variety of need and if he cannot do it then there is another surgeon in the practice that can. He is part of St. Lukes Boise Surgical Center and they are in Meridian. (208) 364-3000. Hope this helps!

We go to Allied Orthopedics Dr Sean Hassinger or Dr. David Hassinger. They are on Rifleman in Boise.
Any suggestions for a good orthopedic surgeon for a grade 3 collarbone/shoulder separation?
Karen N. replied:
Dr Travis Kemp of Allied Orthopedics saved my toe, performing an amazing surgery most wouldn't even try. He takes on some of the most difficult surgeries in Idaho and several other states. He specializes in foot and ankles but is capable of other orthopedic surgeries. If he can't help you, there are other specialist in his same office. He was amazing and rushed me to surgery the very day I went in. My surgery was 7 months ago. Hope you heal quickly. Sorry you are hurting.
Thanks, Yeah I'll need a shoulder/joint specialist. St Luke's referred Britton Wells. But think I'm going to contact Michael Curtin first, very impressive background.
Michelle K. replied:
I work with Dr Curtin. He is an amazing surgeon. Not sure he can help you with your specific injury, but I hope he can!!!!
Ugh....does anyone know of a really good orthopedic dr.....A back doctor? I'll have to go to my primary physician first and get a referral for insurance purposes....
Linda H. replied:
No Dr Verska Marta! I'll tell you in person about him. I had surgery performed by him, not a good experience. Dr. King is a good orthopedic &. Dr. Zimmerman is the best Neurological Doctor if you end up needing to see one.
Suzanne H. replied:
Dr Verska. Several relatives and friends speak very highly of him. Excellent back surgeon
Lyn C. replied:
have you ever tried Acupuncture? Dr. Soo Lee...he is on Phillippi & Overland I think! Amazing! I had a horrible injury and could not even drive. On floor for a month! Acupuncture got me up and driving in 6 weeks! I swear by it!
Lyn C. replied:
I hate to see you opt for surgery before you try acupuncture. Chiropractors were not able to help me during that month on the floor and at 28 yrs old I did not want surgery...I went to Dr. Lee as a last resort but...(please forgive my profiling) but when I opted to try this, it had to be by an oriental because they were who I believed invented it way back...
Julie J. replied:
No.. Dr Verska...He is retired..Thank God. .He is why I live in pain ..He did my fussion .
Julie J. replied:
Thank god he retired...Linda Hackwell..
Marta C. replied:
I have been going to the Boise Spine Clinic..(chiro) but I'm wondering if I should get an MRI to be sure it's nothing more.....It's just sore...
Julie J. replied:
My Dentist called him to find out if I had to be premeditated before he did dental work. His office gave him Dr Verska ' s # HE said he was retired. That guy needed to retire.. Now he can't mess up other people..
Stanley D. replied:
Irwin Mulnick in McCall or Uma Mulnick on Boise. I've used them both with excellent results.
Stanley D. replied:
Marta, those two I referred you to are chiropractors. The surgeon that operated on Donna is Dr. Frizell. He's a St. Luke's doctor on Jefferson in Boise.
Does anyone know of a good orthopedist in Nampa/Meridian area? Claire broke her arm :(
Melisa M. replied:
Dr. Showalter is Daniel's doctor.
Kim C. replied:
Dr Robinson with Saint Alphonsus Orthopedics
Tessa P. replied:
Dr. Showalter at St Luke's Meridian . He's a pediatric Orthopedic. Great Doctor!
Anna F. replied:
Tadje at Orthopedic Associates. Molly broke her arm bad two years ago. He operated 3 times. Rods in and out and nerve repair. Was really good.
Sandy M. replied:
Dr. D. Gross Boise and the rehab is in the same location which was very nice.
Robin C. replied:
My girls have broken their arms several times. We've used Intermountain orthopedics. Dr. Shea is a great pediatric orthopedist. He's also done two of my knee surgeries. Good luck.
So I am told I need an orthopedic doctor. Anyone in the Boise area have someone they like? I am loathe to just pick somone out of the phone book.
Tammy L. replied:
Dr. Christenson is wonderful; did my sons shoulder, ex's knee, sister in laws foot and my dads ankle. The entire office is excellant.
Tedi H. replied:
If they suggest surgery get a 2 nd opinion. I tore my shoulder. The guy I saw in Nampa said ABSOLUTELY surgery. The guy in Boise suggested PT,which I did. Took 6 months but no surgery!
