Patient Testimonials

"Dr. Alexander Majors has done a terrific job in care of my injury. The orthopedic specialist in my city referred me to Sierra Pacific Orthopedics for a second opinion. I felt comfortable as I walked down the hallway that displayed many pictures of athletes whom had been treated at the Practice, which gave me comfort knowing that my injury would not be judged. Dr. Majors knew what needed to take place in order to have the best outcome. He offered several different treatment plans, but advised what he thought would be best for me. I was nervous prior to my surgery, but the team put me at ease with professional and friendly care. There are so many people included in the care team, I just want to say thank you to the team for their hard work and dedication." -- Kelly K.

"I was unable to consistently control and had a loss of feeling in my right hand. I also suffered intermittent pain in the same hand. Dr. Majors was able to quickly diagnose the issue and gave me a solution that virtually eliminated all of my symptoms. Thanks Dr. Majors!" --Carrie T.

"After a slip and fall, I suffered a gruesome laceration to my palm and an uncommon dislocation of my finger. Two different medical facilities X-rayed my hand before I came to see Dr. Majors, and neither facility was able to discover the dislocation. Dr. Majors not only immediately discovered the dislocation, but also performed surgery through the laceration on my palm, so as not to create an additional scar on my hand. My injury occurred in April 2012, and after several physical therapy sessions with Nicki in Sierra Pacific Orthopedics’ rehabilitation center, I had full range of motion and no pain in my hand by June 2012. As a father, coach, and a person who types and writes extensively at work, I cannot thank Dr. Majors and Sierra Pacific Orthopedics’ staff enough for their work." -- Jesse M.

"Dr. Majors and staff were very kind and professional. He explained everything to me in a thorough manner. I was very pleased with my experience at Sierra Pacific Orthopedics and will certainly share my experience with my primary care doctor and recommend this facility to others." -- Mari J.

"I developed carpal tunnel syndrome two years ago. After physical therapy treatment things improved but still problems. After visiting Dr. Majors, my carpal tunnel continues to improve; yet there is just enough discomfort that I haven't stopped my treatment program. I have been approved for surgery, yet it looks as though I may be able to avoid surgery, after consultations and treatments at Sierra Pacific Orthopedics." -- Jack B.
