Patient Reviews
“Have seen DR. Gasturi several times during the past year. I think he is an excellent doctor.
The staff in his office and the entire staff in the Summitt center are very proficient and very very nice. It's all about the patients needs and comfort.”
– Geraldine L.
“I have only met Dr. Simons once when he determined via x-rays that I needed to have surgery to fix my existing knee replacement. Dr. Simons was thorough in explaining what and why I needed to have the surgery. I have also received daily updates via e-mail to prepare me for my surgery. All staff I have dealt with at SPOC have been courteous and helpful. Thus far my experience has been very good.”

“Dr. Sison was very pleasant and thorough. Fortunately, all I needed was physical therapy (also at SPOC and also a great experience). The physical therapy improved my situation right away. Haven't had any further low back trouble since I started the physical therapy prescribed exercises.”

“Over the last 27 years, I have had many experiences with Dr. Hanson, and I know that there is no one better. I had many visits with regards to my knees. After many years of injections to my knees, it was time to do a total knee replacement. My right knee was replaced first, then some years later my left knee was done. I have also had Dr. Hanson repair both shoulders because of rotator tears. I am proud to recommend Dr. Hanson.”

“Outstanding, Dr. Hanson has a great staff, Greg is super. Had the surgery in March and on May 6th we went on a five-day cruise and May 17th Dr. Hanson gave me an all clear to get back to my regular activities. For me that would be an average of 15,000 steps a day, In 2016 I did over 6 million steps that year. To celebrate my new knee and my 80th birthday calls for another 6 million steps in one year. Thanks again for all you guys have done.”

“I was very impressed with her clear explanations re my fracture, what to expect in surgery, and options for care. She was caring, explained the x-rays, and exhibited kindness toward my husband and me. Gave lots of opportunities to answer any questions we might have. I would recommend her to anyone. I’m happy with my outcome.”

“Dr. Hanson did both of my knee replacements with great success. Before having the surgery I was in a great deal of pain, I had difficulty walking, I was unable to sleep without pain and unable to function most of the time. He took away the pain and once again I was able to walk and sleep without pain. Thank you. Dr. Hanson. I have also seen Dr. Thaxter at SPOC. He performed my Left Hip replacement, and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Thaxter and Dr. Hanson. Dr Thaxter took away the severe pain that had developed due to both my knees being so bad. After both knee replacements had healed, it was now time to have something done about the severe pain I was having in my hip. Dr Thaxter replaced my hip and two weeks later I was up walking and ready to go on with my life, and without pain. Thank you, Dr. Thaxter.”
