GUSTAV FISCHER, MD - MULTNOMAH ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC REVIEWS
I highly recommend Dr. Gustav Fischer as a highly skilled orthopedic surgeon. I had hip replacement surgery with Dr. Fischer and his team at the Oregon Surgical Institute. His team is very caring and supportive and my surgery went very well. They do an excellent job at preparing you for what to expect on the day of surgery. It's so amazing to be up and walking (with a walker) on the same afternoon as the surgery, and now at two weeks out I'm walking without a walker, cane or limp!
Hip replacement went amazingly well. The surgery experience was compassionate and Minimally invasive. The entire team from the excellent anesthesiologist to every single nurse was professional and skilled. Dr Gustav has my highest respect! I went with a spinal instead of general anesthesia and went home that day. Now in my first day of post op, I am still amazed at their perfectly orchestrated hip replacement operation and the ease of my experience.
Dr. Fischer and his team are amazing. I received my second hip replacement yesterday, both performed by Dr. Fischer. He is very personable and truly cares about his patients. His technical skill is excellent, perfecting the procedure with minimal trauma to surrounding tissue. If you need a hip (or two) replaced, Dr. Fischer is the best!

J. RAFE SALES, MD - SUMMIT SPINE REVIEWS
Dr. Sales and his staff were great to work with. Procedure, expectations, and recovery were well explained. Surgery went very smooth and the follow-up was timely and comprehensive. Surgical center staff was outstanding. I would highly recommend Dr. Sales and his team to anyone.
The team at Dr. Sales' office are professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. They took time to explain to me what was happening and help me understand my options. They weren't in a hurry to get me in and out or to rush me into a procedure unnecessarily. They gained my trust and I will absolutely recommend them to friends and family.
Dr Sales and his team are amazing. I had an emergency cervical fusion and I have now recovered wonderfully because of the care I received. As a nurse I have been extremely impressed by the whole experience and highly recommend them for anyone needing neurosurgery!

He is an experienced surgeon and athlete himself!

Dr Duwelius is the most approachable, thorough, compassionate, talented surgeon and medical professional I have ever experienced. He listened to me as a patient and respected my input. His bedside manner is wonderful and secondary only to his remarkable surgical skills.
