My second ACL surgery (the first knee was corrected 5 years ago). Dr. Cleeman is thorough and thoughtful. He made sure to understand what I wanted out of the surgery and executed the work beautifully. This second surgery has made me better than I've been in ten years. The knee is strong and improving at a wonderful pace. PT and at home exercising has been a huge help as well.

I had to wait to see the Mr. Dushey for almost two hours after my appointment time. When I finally went in, he was rushing me out and didn't answer my questions. He had another patient at the same time in another room. I asked the nurse that I needed to asking an important question. She went to his office and asked him. She told me he was very busy right now. That he could answer if I waited for him for another 1:30 minutes. So I left.

I feel so much better now that Dr. DuShey has replaced my hip. Every step of the way, I was given time to decide, and given good information. I couldn't have hoped for a better team or outcome. Many thanks!

Waited one and a half hours to see doctor. He looked at the X-ray of my hip, X-ray taken last year. Again diagnosed condition as bursitis. Only approach is a shot of cortisone. Okay it only takes five minutes to do that. When he left the room, I assumed he would return to give me the shot. Waited again for the shot but doctor did not return. When I asked when he would return staff had no idea. So I gave up and left. All of my time wasted for nothing.
I know bursitis is not serious but it is painful. I am afraid that I have concluded that because none of this can be fixed by surgery, despite good insurance, I am no value to the practice.

I was unhappy with my experience with Dr. Varna. The office itself was fine, Toni (receptionist) and Crystal (nurse) were very nice and helpful; Dr. Varna on the other hand was interruptive and did not make proper time for me to explain my issues. He made assumptions about my health based on my age and gender during our conversation, and I did not feel that I was able to properly explain myself to give him an accurate picture of the situation at hand. The conversation was continuously interrupted by Dr. Varna's questions, while i was mid-sentence, and I would get cut off before I finished my full thoughts. In the end, I was referred to see another kind of specialist, a month of yoga classes, and to come back in six weeks if my situation hasn't improved which, for $350, is an absolute disgrace. This conclusion would’ve sufficed if I felt he had a comprehensive idea of the issue, but I did not. I felt like this appointment was rushed and inconclusive, which I would never expect at such a high self-pay price. Being a young woman and having to work hard to advocate for yourself to doctors is already difficult as is, and Dr. Varna was unsuccessful in making me feel like my issues were heard and properly addressed. The ridiculous medical bill just adds insult to injury. I will not be returning to this center and I would not recommend it to my friends or relatives.

First time seeing Dr Dushey. I did have to wait a bit, but he was definitely worthy every minute.
He explained everything while going over my X-ray, and answered my questions. Did not feel rushed.
Very happy with Dr. Dushey
