"I was skiing late in the day on a Friday and fell, causing severe pain in my right ankle. I decided I needed to get an x-ray to see if anything was broken. Rather than going to the emergency room, I called Bone & Joint Urgent Care and they were able to x-ray my ankle immediately. The PA conferred with Dr. Wright and they gave me a boot to wear for a week to see if the bone shifted before they decided on casting or surgery. I followed up with Dr. Wright, he was attentive, knowledgable and caring about my needs. He answered all my questions and didn't act like he was rushed or hurried to get through my appointment. I was very happy with my experience at Missoula Bone & Joint." March 2019

My experience has been nothing but professional, that is why, if Bone & Joint can perform a surgery I may need in the future, it will be done there. The six different doctors that have operated on me, as well as all the staff, have been nothing but above and beyond.
