Dr. Wickman is an incredibly thoughtful, caring, patient, and brilliant surgeon. I have been very nervous about some of the degenerative spine issues I am dealing with, and having Dr. Wickman as my spine surgeon allows me total confidence in not only being guided in the right direction as various options for treatment are described, but also she speaks so calmly and confidently allowing me to feel I am in excellent hands. I have had a previous surgery with Dr. Wickman and it was 100% successful. To have met a surgeon who is as approachable as she, is a true blessing.

Very professional. Dr Birch and his staff always make me feel very comfortable and confident. My surgery was quick and I'm so grateful to have Dr. Birch. I recommend Alta Orthopedics and Dr Birch to all. He is the best specialized orthopedic surgeon, doing very complex procedures as well as taking care of the pre-op,and post -op care with great kindness making it a very positive experience. Thank You ! Dr B. & your team! Sincerely, Vanessa

Very comfortable surgery and recovery. Minimal amount of pain with little discomfort. Dr. Haggerty was very easy to talk to and answered my questions and made out a referral for more physical therapy so hopefully I will return to the activity level I enjoyed before my accident. Thank you for your talent and time. No more wheelchair or boot! Yahoo!

Dr. Birch replaced my right knee one year ago, and it has been a wonderful decision! No more pain and great mobility! I am returning to have my left knee replaced this year. He is very calm, competent, and caring!
