What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
We had an emergency while on vacation and their office was able to get us in in the very same day. We did wait a while for the appointment but we also were under the understanding that they did squeeze Us in. We were happy to wait, especially how friendly and kind the staff was. The doctor was also available afterwards by phone when my son had questions about the pain level of his injury.

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.

Excellent doctor

Jun 23, 2025
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.
