| My husband had surgery on his right shoulder for a slight SLAP tear and some general repetitive injury issues. He is a computer animator and the injury was to his money-maker arm; to say we were apprehensive is an understatement. Dr Powell and his staff made the entire process as easy as possible. He is a great communicator. I was so grateful for the time he took to explain the surgery to me while my husband was in recovery. He trouble shot a potential problem right there in scrubs in the waiting room-- what a relief. You can tell his office is staffed with healthcare professionals that truly care about serving people. Jen and Suzie in the front office were extremely professional, while at the same time being so kind with my pesty phone calls, and many questions. My family is very grateful to Dr. Powell and his entire team. |

| For the past two years, I have dealt with pain in my left foot as the result of plantar fasciitis. For me, this was a huge problem since I am a professional soccer player with the U.S. Women’s National Team. In order to be at my full potential for World Cup Qualifying last fall and then the Women’s World Cup in the Fall of 2007, I sought treatment for my worsening foot pain. Dr. Powell examined me, ordered an MRI and developed a groundbreaking treatment method that returned me to full strength before my next tournament. Using a combination of high energy shockwave therapy and a platelet rich plasma injection, Dr. Powell helped me return to international competition only 7 weeks after undergoing the procedure. The treatment I received at Stetson-Powell Orthopedics was an important contribution to my soccer career. I am thankful for Dr. Powell’s compassion and excellent care. |

| I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle in September 2006 and separated my shoulder. After enduring fairly severe pain and limited use of my arm for four months, Dr. Powell operated on me in January of 2007. Though my injury was complex and extensive, I have regained roughly 90% in range-of-motion and expect to recover completely. From the beginning I had complete confidence in Dr. Powell's knowledge and ability. He always had time to answer questions, and his answers were clear and straightforward. Plus, S/P has the best waiting room in the business. |

I was referred to Dr. Powell as the result of a right shoulder injury. My entire arm was frozen in place, including my lower arm. All the lymph fluids had gathered below myelbow and I was in significant pain.
This was my first serious injury and I was really frightened. Upon meeting Dr. Powell and his staff, everything changed.He immediately diagnosed exactly what was wrong and scheduled me for surgery. He also dealt quickly with the pain and spasms I was experiencing. The surgery was a resounding success. I have full function and range of motion restored to my arm and shoulder.
Both Dr. Powell and his staff were utterly professional, kind, patient and showed great concern for both my family and me. I reallyappreciated the efficiency of the staff in all matters. It made my experience so much easier, especially when I was unwell.
Thank you, Dr. Powell for your expertise and caring. This entire practice is one of a kind. |

My son Luke was in a backpacking accident in June, and fell about 25 feet from a cliff outside Yosemite. We brought Luke to Dr Powell at 8 am the morning after he got out of the ER in Fresno. (I think he came in early to meet us) After spending most of the day in his office and in Xray, we discovered the extent of his injuries were more serious than what the ER had found. Dr Powell sent us to a wonderful eye specialist to evaluate Luke's orbital fracture, and to a great spinal surgeon to evaluate the spinal fractures that the ER missed. Then Dr. Powell dealt with the broken ankle that needed surgery and the dislocated wrist. Dr. Powell was wonderful to Luke and our family, as we had many questions and concerns. We have developed complete confidence in him as a doctor and a surgeon. He patiently spent time with us, especially at the beginning when we learned of the back fracture and saw the horrible looking xrays. By the way, his office is very "Hi-Tech", which we really appreciated! Today Lucas had his cast and ankle boot removed, and walked out of Dr. Powell's office on his own two feet without crutches! It was a great day for all of us.
We highly recommend Dr. Powell and his office team. Luke has had absolutely excellent care which far exceeded our expectations! |
