What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Your questions asked most of what I would have said. Dr Hoard was great. Very patient, very gentle with my wrist, very easy to understand. And, I was really pleased that we could try something (the injection) that same day to help heal my wrist.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Not very personable. Answers questions and (seems) to listen when I'm talking to him. But he does not review what is going on with my issues, progress or lack of, options, any suggestions - other than see you in 3 months. When I showed up for this appointment, I was taken for x-rays. I had no advance notification I was having any done. It was not a big deal but it could have been for someone else. After Dr. Rupert left, I had a difficult time finding an ortho who would do a reverse shoulder replacement. Since I know I will need the surgery done at some future point, I have considered establishing with a different ortho.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Hoard was nothing short of a godsend to me. After a serious fall accident he evaluated my X-ray, met with me the same day, and performed an extensive reconstruction of my knee the next afternoon. He was very personable, confident, reassuring, and extremely skillful. He made a personal visit the next day in the hospital to explain just what he had done (even showed me the X-ray of the reconstruction at my request), explained what I should expect during a lengthy recovery, and genuinely wished me the best.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
[Removed comment about care not provided at this facility]. Dr. Hoard listened he understood why I was in pain and wants to help me quit suffering. Ty Dr.Hoard. I'm so afraid of losing the use of my dominant hand and shoulder. Even the use of my arm. I'm willing to suffer in pain if I know someday it won't be as bad. My shoulder has even affected my breathing. Be blessed

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
He’s a no nonsense kind of guy that seems to know what he’s talking about. That’s why I drive two hours to see him rather than twenty minutes to Alpena.
