I had a reverse shoulder replacement. Dr. Sparks answered all my questions prior to surgery and was a available after surgery for questions. My mobility has increased and I feel grateful for the care I received from the entire team at AFOC.

Report
I had a major shoulder surgery following getting caught in an Avalanche and Dr. Sparks did an incredible job. The staff were all very professional and helpful. It was my first surgery, but Dr. Sparks and the staff were so kind and well trained, I was not nervous at any point during the process. I am now on the road to getting back to the activities that I Love thanks to AFOC.

Dr Prevost was kind and understanding. He treated my knee problem appropriately. His word can be trusted. The front staff however could use a bit more assertiveness to schedule follow ups and check out with everything i was told id get.

Dr Sharp did an excellent job with my right ankle surgery. The staff at Creekside were on point and on time. They also made sure my post-op pain was managed.

Report
I've been to AFOC many times, both for spine surgery and follow up, as well as for knee pain & xrays. They are extremely professional and on top of it. They don't mess up on the small details. ALSO their physicians and surgeons are extremely kind, provide personalized service, and have great bedside manner. The exact opposite of some of the other clinics in town.

Report
Had two xrays done. Both doctors said different things but regardless I needed to see a hand specialist. Scheduled the appointment and showed up, and they canceled my appointment. I asked to have medical records released so I can see someone else and they promised me 7-10 days I could pick up the information. I call they haven't even done it yet. I have had a broken finger for 8 months. -100/10 stars
