TESTIMONIALS

No one could ask for any finer surgeon for joint replacement. Dr. Joseph Gholson and his staff are truly the finest found anywhere. I left my home at 7am and returned home at 7pm that evening with a complete new hip and mine was not an easy hip to redo. No words can express enough praise this fine surgeon and truly a fine gentleman.

Google Review Nov. 2019

Dr. Gholson is very professional, listens to patient concerns and takes them into consideration when planning individual care. His explanation of my surgery, before and after, was accurate and spot on. I highly recommend him.

Healthgrades Review Nov. 2019

"Everyone was very professional and friendly and caring!"

Ralph Nov. 2018

"Clean, professional, and attentive MRI experience."

John, Oct 2018

"Superb in all respects. I have been in all specialties; broken foot, bakers cyst on knee, shoulder injury and now a hip replacement. Even the Walk-in clinic is efficient. All the staff are professional and friendly. It is actually a happy place to visit. Dr. LaPorte fixed my shoulder after a fall on the ice, and Dr. Puckett has worked on both my hands. Thank you for such great care!"

Jim O, Nov. 2018

"My husband was treated with such care at the Urgent Care. It was a stressful time and everything went so smoothly. They worked hard to get the paper work needed for the appointment. The PA was so nice and understanding. Thank You!"

Anna Becker, August 2018

"I just wanted to thank Dr. Willstein for the outstanding job he did in replacing my knees in January 2017. I have had no problems and I am so happy the pain is gone. Everyone at Missoula Bone & Joint is to be commended for it's first class service. Thank you all!" 

Bruce, Feb 2018

"Awesome experience at Missoula Bone & Joint. Unfortunate basketball injury caused us to be here. Complete ruptured achilles surgery. We were diagnosed in the morning by the doctor and in surgery in the afternoon. Surgical staff is first class .... explained the entire process and we were comforted in a difficult situation. Grateful for wonderful, exceptional healthcare in Missoula, MT." 

Judy D. June 2018

"Joan Bond-Deschamps is extremely thorough, she covered everything, even questions I didn't think to ask. She was eager to solve my problems. I highly recommend MBJ for anyone needing orthopedic care." 

Bill W. June 2018

"MBJ is the best Ortho Clinic in Montana! I live in Helena and drive the 238 miles round trip because I love this office." 

Paula D, May 2018

 "I was in for an MRI last week and always notice how happy folks are at MSO Bone and Joint, I have a chair in each department ... foot, knee, hand, shoulder. We are so fortunate to have such great health care in MSO."

A Frenchtown Family, Feb 2018

"I would like to say that I had a most excellent experience as a PT patient of Bob Botkin over the past few months. His dynamic, receptive, and intuitive approach to therapy was impressive and effective. I appreciate how I would admit to some pain that I was trying to power through, and he could explain why that was hurting me and adapt the therapy to avoid the pain. He has changed my perspective on exercise through said process of being in tune with pain and the biomechanics of my body." 

Bradley Applegate, Feb 2018

"Out of 15 surgeries, this was my best experience with physical therapy ever! The whole staff is very friendly and courteous. Kailey and the rest listen to your concerns and are very knowledgable regarding your type of injury and make your rehab fun. I would highly recommend Missoula Bone & Joint P.T. for all your PT. needs."
