Very good experience Tells you like it is.
I had an unfortunate accident while camping & fractured my hip. Being from out of town & not knowing anyone in the medical field in this area( being a nurse ) I was anxious & afraid. Dr Knesek gave me the answers & reassurance I needed to proceed with surgery & not be transferred home. His skills were amazing, . Very happy with my surgery & recovery. His skills & compassions were beyond expectations. Thank you for your amazing care, I would travel for this extraordinary type of care ! Thanks again your community is blessed to have you! Your entire staff also extraordinary!
