"Dr Richardson is an excellent surgeon and has very good bedside manor and is just a wonderful doctor. He performed surgery on two of my fingers which i had arthritis . My fingers are straight now and they don’t hurt anymore. I also receive cortisone injections in both my palms. I have been seeing him for at least 3 or 4 years. I trust him 100%."

"I have been in 3 hospitals in Tucson, and one in Los Angeles, and feel that our local hospital in Prescott is not only better, excellent – the surgeon talked with me, the care Ireceived from all the nursing staff was above reproach – the entire experience, and I assume this is for the surgeon, was outstanding. Appointments with mysurgeon were pleasant, he was helpful and I appreciated no wait time.Is this for hospital? Surgeon? Nursing staff? -= everything ran smoothly and I am very grateful for such an outstanding hospital. The support given while waitingto be put to sleep before surgeon, the nurses there giving me support – there is nothing I would even complain about – or mark down from OUTSTANDING."

"Dr. Simonson is an excellent surgeon! He performed a metatarsal osteotomy w/hammer toe correction on my left foot. He explained the procedure very well so I knew exactly what to expect. There were no surprises. My recovery is going as expected & he expects a favorable result. I’m looking forward to be able to return to hiking & biking without pain! He’s very caring & encouraging with his patients. Renee is great too."

"I was very impressed with how genuinely friendly the staff were. It wasn’t the usual courtesy of people being “nice” to customers as part of their job, each person I spoke to from the front desk, all the way up to the doctor was a genuinely friendly person."

"I had a total knee replacement on March 21 due to an old injury, no cartilage, arthritis and misalignment. The surgery went very well and I have healed very nicely. Due to the length of time I have been out of alignment (30 years), the muscle memory and way of walking have hampered my rehabilitation and physical therapy. This is not due to any failure on my surgeons part and I believe he/I will resolve this problem soon. I am happy with my surgery and rehab."

"Visited Dr Pflueger yesterday regarding possible left shoulder rotator cuff issues. He surgically repaired that rotator cuff three years ago and this time around, he determined that it was only an inflamed bursa and the issue has subsided. As usual, he’s very detailed and professional but at the same time, personable. I’ve recommended him to friends who need orthopedic evaluation."
