Asante Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine - Grants Pass

Very well run practice. Support staff are professional, competent and friendly. Dr. Nugent is a good guy and fine surgeon who takes the time to engage inform and listen to, his patients. Surgeons, given the scope of the discipline have to approach that with absolute objectivity. They can be pretty brusk, and are not generally known for their polished bedside manner. For me, that's really not a concern, but for folks who aren't familiar with surgery or surgeons, (I've had over 30 operations and was a paramedic), it can be helpful and comforting to engage in a forthcoming, professionally friendly dialogue with a guy who's going to be performing surgery on them.

I was really impressed with everyone that works at the clinic. And Dr. Nugent was very kind and very informative about my condition. Very pleased with him.

Upon arrival at reg. Desk, a lady ask me "Do you have a leash for your dog?" My reply, "Mame, He's my service dog and is not required by law to have one!!"..BOOM, She got a stepping. Then when I was in exam room waited over 15 minutes to be seen...I left. We make time in Our Lifes for an appt time, and it must be met!!

I am 84 years old and put off total knee replacement for over 2 years, because I am way beyond the statistics for life expectancy. Who would want to go thru this painful surgery and then die,?? So, because I'm still here, I am going to tell you about Dr. Cowley! I am highly recommending him. He is a skilled surgeon. He does a battery of tests prior to scheduling you for surgery. Then each of your doctors have to sign off stating that you are well enough to have the surgery. You are given a date. The Three Rivers Hospital was fantastic and I also reviewed them. This is a very serious surgery. I am 2 months in and I still have knee pain and swelling. This is probably due to the fact that my knee was cut completely opened up to remove the arthritic joint and replace it with a bionic!! knee! I would really like to meet the people that I was told by some that went to work a few weeks later or were walking just great! I am still in pain! However, every day gives me new hope! In a year, I hope to be pole dancing! I have 3 friends that he operated on within the past few years and they walk just great! Dr. Cowley has a team of people that work with you. The PT home health comes into your home 3 days after surgery. They monitor for infections and or any issues. B T way, you cannot go home and be alone for 7 days unless u have a caregiver. You cant go to a recovery place because of the fear of covid or infections. After home health ends, you get to go to PT therapy. I go to Asante PT and Alan Harper is my guy. He is very caring and compassionate and everyone that works there are most professional! However, you have homework and you have to do it! I do not like the exercises, they hurt! but you have to train this new knee to get to the place where you were long ago when you were young and vibrant! Dr. Cowley's nurse, Heidi,is always available to answer any questions and I pestered her, a lot! I went to 3 stores recently (too many). I have had to scale way down! And you have to eat well (fast food is not eating well) and do the exercises. At this point, my friends get to hear me complain but they still seem to like me. In about a year I will make a new post (after I pole dance) to let u know my progress! Please pray for me that I am still alive! All joking aside, Dr. Cowley is your guy for knee replacement. Do not believe any negative posts. I would happily recommend him to my own child. Best wishes, Corinne
