"I went down with trigger fingers and pain in my hands and wrist. Dr Treese was my doctor. I believe he is the worse of the worse. He did wreck my right hand but as soon as I quit there I sought out other treatment and got my right hand working better. As far as I am concerned I would not take a dog to this doctor. I have to have a knee replacement he ask why I had not scheduled with them no thanks if he did my knee like my hand I could not walk. In my own experience I must of gotten the worse doctor as I have had others tell me of different doctors who has fixed there problem. But I can t say this about this Dr Treese."

"I have used the walk in clinic twice and was seen quickly. The PA I was seen by was thorough and took time to answer questions. I had a minor outpatient surgery and the Doctor and nursing staff in the office were also very good. The office support staff are friendly and helpful. Their patient portal also makes it easy to pay bills."

"9 months ago Dr Smith replaced my right hip! I was down for 5 weeks & back to work!! But I've done home health since the 70s. And I knew what I had facing me in my recovery. Can't wait to get a left tip done the 26th of December."

"Trying to call Orthopedics Medicine all you can do is leave messages and wait for a real person to call you back. In my opinion this is a horrible way for a medical facility to operate. Made me feel like they were too busy for any new patients."

"8 months, three doctors, 6 cortisone shots later, having reactions to every one of them and was told by second doctor he had never heard of such a thing, my pain was so bad I beg for an MRI finally got it a week later I had to call to get my results because no one called me I had a torn meniscus this whole time the doctor comes in and said boy you are really tough you can handle that much pain all this time and that's all that was said but would not prescribed me anything for pain said it's against their protocols and that I would just have to wait for surgery I 3 wks. I called a week later asking for something because I was exhausted fighting this pain , nurse called me back and said I know the doctor will not go against protocol and when I asked about the protocol she said that he had been burned before in the past so therefore he doesn't prescribe any more pain medicine until the day of surgery I said that doesn't make sense to me could you better explain and let me speak with the doctor and she told me that know the doctor was busy and that's what he told her to say and also that my surgery is just a elective and that he doesn't have to do the surgery and that it's not a surgery that has to be done which made no sense to me and she talks to me like I was a child. I decided if they don't care enough to be my doctor the ones that supposed to be professionals, that I couldn't and wouldn't trust them to take care of me during or after surgery. I'm now having to find another doctor outside of area because my INS lady said that they were the only doctors in St Joseph, and she said how sad that they monopolize this area I'm still in pain and joints are full of fluid and going clear to KC to get help..."
