Report
I was initially referred to this clinic to get answers and treatment for hip pain. The staff was professional and confident in their assistance and I was eager to have Dr Gaskill help me with my pain. He, too, went right to the problem, which was my back, not my hip as I thought. Dr Gaskill gave me options and began some treatment stating he would refer me to a back specialist as he was was a hip and arthroscopic specialist.
My observation was that this specialist was well sought after for his success in treatment of others. I look forward to relief from his treatment and can only hope that a referral to a back specialist will prove even more successful. Having had an initial visit, I believe this physician knows his stuff! I would recommend that new patients complete the information on line and submit and have a copy for the visit to hand in just in case. This saves time and the agony of trying to rack your memory for answers while dealing with your discomfort.

I had a total right hip replacement back in 2019 with Dr. McAtee. He did an excellent job. Lately, my right hip had been bothering me so I made an appt and saw PA Lisa. She's very helpful, polite, and thorough. Great staff and highly recommend.

Dr Jake did an excellent job on my shoulder. I have been able to regain some range of motion and strength in my shoulder In good time. My immediate condition after surgery seemed really well and I suffered little pain and was able to work with my shoulder in a sling pretty well. My follow up appointment's are upbeat and thorough.

My surgeon Dr Trevor Gaskill & Jacob Edelman PA-C are amazing! This past year I had total knee replacements on both my knees. First one in August & the second in November. Couldn't be happier with my surgical experience and recovery! Both men are so professional and caring. Worth the drive from Western Kansas! So good to be able to walk again!

Heidi Smith DO was great to work with on my knee. She was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. Was able to get in and see her fast and they even called me in-between appts.
