You can tell Dr Knudson cares and likes his job. I was there form an unfortunate injury, so having a doctor who was caring, nice, and even one who could sprinkle in some humor was such a relief and made me feel lighter about the situation after I had left.

Dr. Knudson did everything I expected from surgery. He answered all questions and wasn't in a hurry. The staff getting me ready and the surgical crew, both were awesome! My anesthesiologist gave me a good feeling on what to expect. Good job everyone!

Appreciate his quick response to my request for x-rays and diagnosis. He read the x-rays and nurse reported the results immediately after x-rays were taken.

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the care and patience you showed during my recent cortisone injection appointment. I was experiencing significant anxiety at the time, and the way you calmly explained the process and supported me through it made a meaningful difference.I would also like to recognize the clinician who was in the room assisting during the appointment. Although I do not recall her name, her kindness, reassurance, and professionalism helped me feel more at ease, and I truly appreciated her presence and support as well.Thank you again for your compassion and excellent care.

Like I've said before, it was a very good experience, the nurses themselves were very nice, courteous and respectful........ And Dr. Knudson did a very good job.... I'm more than satisfied with the experience that I've received........ And I'll see to the whole team. Good job....... I didn't feel any racism. ; and from my experience everyone showed that they cared not only about me but their job. So good work Dr. Knudson and your team of nurses..... šŸ’ŖšŸ’ŖšŸ’ŖšŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’ÆšŸ’ÆšŸ’ÆšŸ’ÆšŸ’ÆšŸ’Æ

He listened carefully and offered options. At the same time he noted that there were issues that had some limitations due to age and wear and tear. He gave options and limitations and was very realistic adcsell as understanding.
