Report
Every person I dealt with at this office was very kind and helpful. I was a bit late but they did not make me feel rushed. The nurse, and the X-ray techs were very efficient and explained everything they were doing. Dr. Kohring was extremely helpful and informative and showed me what she was going to do and let me know what to expect after surgery. I would recommend this office to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about the team here. They got me scheduled to meet with Dr. Powers only 3 days after my emergency room trip, and the surgery was scheduled just 4 days after that. Dr. Powers did an amazing job of explaining the procedure to me and answering any questions I had. The whole staff was kind and compassionate, and made me feel at ease the whole time.

Long time customer of Northwest orthopedics safe to say that I would not let anybody do surgery on me but Northwest orthopedics I got to experience Ty Winder. He is the physicians assistant for Dr. Kody. Very good bedside manner communicates well definitely understood where I was coming from answered the questions that I had which were very few he's very considerate knowing that I do not want to have the surgery until later this year. Will communicate with him again in August to get my MRI completed hopefully surgery around the end of October.

During my first visit, I was very impressed by the knowledge, efficiency and friendly attitude displayed by the administrative personnel. The medical support team had the same happy and engaged demeanor. I finally met an personable orthopaedist that answered my questions and listened to my opinions. I was given choices of treatment instead of being told I must do surgery NOW. How refreshing!

I have always been so impressed with how friendly the staff has been. They are all so happy, and live their jobs. The front desk was quick and friendly. The medical staff from the medical assistance, X-ray and the PA were very professional, kind, thorough and gave me great advice on how to move forward. Highly recommend Northwest Orthopedic specialists to anyone needing help with their joints.
