He explains everything to 100% and makes you feel very confident . i’ve had three surgeries and no complaints. Actually the whole staff at Pioneer has been fantastic !

Dr Haggerty is careful to not jump to conclusions with issues after shoulder surgery. Thoughtful and insightful.

Dr Haggerty and his staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable and caring. Every appointment through this whole process was very positive and my progress through out has been exactly what I had hoped for. I could not be happier and am very grateful.

Dr. HAGGERTY IS A GREAT DR. HE GAVE ME A..CORTIZONE SHOT YESTERDAY IN MY RIGHT SHOULDER AND DIDNT FEEL A THING! HE OPERATED ON MY LEFT SHOULDER A YEAR OR SO AGO AND THAT WENT VERY WELL ALSO.

Felt well cared for

Dr. Shaha is easy to talk to and really listens. My surgery went really well, with no problems. He is very thoughtful.

I felt that the staff and Dr. Montano really cared about my condition and are very interested in what is causing my pain and discomfort. He was thorough, explained things well, and left me with a solid feeling of support and care. Thank you.

the entire process was very professsional and caring. the information for pre and post surgery was given in an easy to understand format and was presented to me both written and oral. i especially appreciated the nands on directions for the sling.follow up from both the hospital and doctor was great!

Very professional very nice Thank you for explaining step by step Thank you for taken care my knee

We made good decisions concerning priorities and sequence of repairs for both my right and left shoulder injuries. These are life changing injuries for me and it was important that I understand clearly what I can expect going forward.

Dr. Jimmy was very thorough and personable. He went over my injury so I could understand the issue.

Dr. Montano performed a total knee replacement on me back in June. Everything went great!! Ivwent back to see him today about getting my other knee replaced. The appointment went great. Liz cheecked me in and I met with Dr. Montano. I like his can do attitude. He truly cares and wants the best for his patients. June 1 I am set for my right total knee replacement.

4th time going through this. the staff is all very professional and informative.

Dr Strohmeyer was highly recommended and I am extremely pleased with the care I received. He explained everything in detail in an easy to understand manner which allowed me to make an informed decision whether to have surgery with no pressure. All interactions with the doctors and staff at Pioneer Peak were professional and friendly. I would recommend Dr Strohmeyer and Pioneer Peak without reservation.

Informative, friendly, great staff, knows how to explain things well to the non doctorate minds, comfortable to be around. Always great!

Excellent staff and Excellent doctor.

The whole place is fantastic , they care and it shows .

No Problems, surgery smooth treated well. had a good understanding of procedure .

Very good

Great doctor. Very compassionate. And takes time to listen. Whole team is awesome

Great The best and cleanest facility That I have been in I will recommend it to everybody and I will go back myself

Professional and comforting, It’s nice to have someone who listens!

It was a great experience.

This was my third appointment with doctor. He was thorough and came up with less invasive surgery to help alleviate my pain and discomfort. I really appreciate his care and compassion.

My GP referred me to Dr. Montano as being an exceptional orthopedic surgeon for hip replacement. From my patient's viewpoint, I have to agree with my GP's recommendation and all of the other 5-star reviews I have read.

Excellent care so glad I had knee replacement the doctor & staff were great

Dr. Montano is an amazing doctor. Honest, and compassionate. He is very informative and really takes the time to talk to you and give you all your options and discuss what is the best treatment plan. He really cares about his patients. I am so happy we found him. I also have several friends who have sen him and they all have great things to say about him. I highly recommend him for any orthopedic needs.

Dr was thorough and actually early! Very refreshing.

Dr Shaha staff were very professional and informative. There attention to every little detail put me at ease. They kept me in the loop every step of the way. They made themselves available to answer any questions i had. They made me feel like an actual patient instead of a number on their chart they had to see order to get paid. Awesome work.

Great staff and Dr. Jetter is on point. Love the knowledge and personal attention.

Dr. Jester is caring, thorough, never in a rush. He made sure I was comfortable with every decision that was made. I would suggest him to anyone who has an injury to thier foot/ankle!

I absolutely love, not only Dr. Montano, but also his M.A. and his P.A.!! The front desk, the check out, from the front office greetings, triage and vitals, physical exam, and farewells, I absolutely DO recommend not only Dr. Montano but also Pioneer Peak Ortho as a whole, to my family and friends, as well as my patients that I see and are in need of an Orthopedic evaluation. Very professional yet still has their sense of humor in tact. Ohhh, and how could I leave out the radiology dept.??!!! Bruce and all the rest!! All of you guys are awesome!! Thanks so much, to all of you!! Rock star team!!

Extremely professional and personable. A surgeon that actually listens to his patients! I’m so glad I was referred to him.

Dr Schuchart and staff are knowledgeable friendly made me feel very confident in my evaluation that I will be getting the best treatment possible. Thank you all

Professional staff, very friendly and attentive

Amazing experience! Was able to diagnose the issue right away. We loved the staff.

Dr. Montano is an amazing doctor. He listens, is intelligent, and caring. I’ve had him for two surgeries and think he’s great!

Igo with bigger pain in my right knee doctor do good care of my pains taking liquid out and giving me a cortisone shoot

Knowledgeable explains thinks so you understand what is going on

It was halloween day and i did not really know who he looks like because of his costume, but i think he was a nice Doctor.

Dr. Strohmeyer was extremely thorough in describing necessary procedure and highlighted risks and benefits. He did not come across as rushed and made sure any questions or concerns I had were fully addressed.

I am one happy patient. Dr Strohmeyer was so wonderful. He was very professional, but kind and helpful. I will sing his praises to everyone. Thank you Dr Strohmeyer

120hr pro

Very Positive. Friendly, helpful staff, Good appointment prompts and communication, punctual Appointment times. After visit with Dr. Strohmeyer felt confident I had made the right choice. Thank you Mike Lachelt

I had a reverse total shoulder replacement with Dr. Shaha and his team, and I could not be more grateful for the care I received. From my very first appointment through surgery and recovery, I have felt truly supported, heard, and cared for. Only one week post-op, my passive range of motion is already better than it was before surgery - which is something I honestly didn’t think was possible given my surgical history. My incision looks incredible as well; I was pleasantly surprised to see they incorporated my old surgical scar so visually it only looks like I’ve had one surgery/incision (when I’ve actually had 8!). Dr. Shaha took the time to listen to my concerns and explain my options thoroughly, and I never once felt rushed or dismissed. His confidence, compassion, and skill made this experience feel not only safe, but like the right choice for my long-term health and quality of life. The entire team showed professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness every step of the way. I am genuinely thankful for Dr. Shaha’s expertise and care. This surgery has already been life-changing, and I feel very optimistic and supported moving forward in my recovery. I would recommend him and his team without hesitation to anyone considering shoulder surgery.

He is a fantastic dr I'm thankful I have him

I was extremely worried after this break but have been in the best of care.

They r very professional people, very polite n down to earth kindness yet no bullshit, they tell you like it is here is how it can only be repaired, n what they say is it, no question needed

I have seen Dr Montano for several years, two knees and hip surgery. Always compassionate and listens. Highly recommend him!

Great desk help and marvelous doctor!

Dr. Shaha was great to work with. He made me feel my chronic wrist pain and instability was valid and my desire for a surgical solution after conservative treatment stalled was justified. Surgery went smoothly and recovery is off to a good start.

Dr. Strohmeyer is awesome. Very knowledgeable and listens to me. I would, and have recommended him to ithers

Haggerty has been great to work with. I have recommended him to others.

Outstanding very grateful and a day after surgery I have 1/10 the pain I had. Thank you seems so little

I was very satisfied

Excellent

Listened to my concerns and arranged a follow up appointment very quickly. Much appreciated.

Shaha is awesome

So personable! 10/10 recommend.

Doctor Montano is by far the best surgeon for orthopedic needs. He explains everything very carefully what needs to be done. Like him, his staff are of like mind. PA Mc Kinney, and Liz are delightful to see as well. Great job. Steve

He was very reassuring, informative, and didn’t make me feel rushed. Marisol, the same.

Very friendly and kind, it was almost a good time!

Diagnosed issue promptly and preformed procedure and remedied problem. I wood most definitely recommend Dr Jetter.

I have had two knee replacements with Dr. Montano (11/23 & 9/25). I had some ongoing challenges with pain after the first surgery, but my second one has been wonderful. Dr. Montano couldn't have been nicer and more patient as he helped me to overcome my challenges after Knee #1, and, he has rejoiced with me as I have celebrated after Knee #2. In both situations he was highly professional while still being personable and very encouraging. His nurse, Liz, is also very responsive and understanding. I highly recommend Dr. Montano and his team!

Best bedside manner in the biz. Several procedures over the last couple of years as we fix everything that has worn out. Couldn’t be happier with the results and where we’re heading!

Very happy

Great

Felt heard by Dr Montano.

He is an excellent doctor! I drove from Anchorage to see him.

Dr Strohmeyer and his staff are amazing!

Excellent care on all levels!

Could not ask for a kinder, more knowledgeable doctor!!! I've never felt more confident in a doctor or enjoyed any one with as good of a bedside manner!! So blessed to have him on my side! Loved his PA too. So sweet and kind!!

The surgery worked great and the follow up was good

great

Overall was a good visit. Felt heard and he addressed concerns at the time of visit

Had a great experience with Dr Shaha while he was checking out my son’s injured hand and wrist. Very thorough and spent a good amount of time explaining things while looking at the radiographs. Highly recommend Dr Shaha if you’re looking for a knowledgeable and kind surgeon!

Very pleasant staff

I was treated as if I mattered and my concerns were addressed. Polite, professional, direct, clear, and understandable. He asked meaningful questions AND LISTENED. I would absolutely recommend this office staff and doctor.

Positive experience from beginning to end.

I have extensive experience with Dr. Strohmeyer. He has performed 3 of my 4 joint replacements and countless injections.Due to severe osteoarthritis arthritis, I was the lucky recipient of 3 joints in 3 years and never considered another surgeon. He is an expert at what he does. compassionate and the best part, he listens. Patients aren't treated like numbers. I have never felt like I was being rushed so he could get to his next patient. The whole team, Dr. Strohmeyer, Ksenia PA -C, and Sol MA, are amazing. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Dr. Jetter listens to your concerns and engages the patient in the treatment decisions. This is greatly appreciated.

Dr. Haggerty has always taken the time to make sure all my questions were answered and that if I had any issues he would try to help with those. He referred me to physical therapy and those therapists know what they are doing. I know that he reads the reports from them and he discusses where we go from here forward. I feel I am in excellent hands with this man.

Very friendly staff, answered any questions I had. Very happy with how surgery and aftercare.

My lifesaver first my leg and my fingers now my knee we can stop there!

Good

Dr Haggerty cares about his patients and I sure like how he explains stuff to you so you understand it.

I found that my care was very thorough and professional. Dr. Haggerty has been very informative and instrumental in my Clavicular fx care. I'm grateful for his knowledge and how he articulates what I can and cannot do in order to heal my injury. Total trust in his treatment of me. Thank you all so very much for my pleasant experience moving forward.

By far the best place overall I've gone to be seen for medical things. Doctor Shaha is the most pleasant person not just Doctor. Answers any and all questions. Explains things very well. Definitely recommend them!

I really appreciate Dr. Strohmeyer for listening to me and helping me with a plan.

He was very professional and listened to me .I have no complaints about him and the hole staff they are Awesome.Thanks Wiley

Dr. Schuchart was very thorough in explaining what he will be doing during surgery and what to expect after surgery! He was also willing to listen to us about our questions and concerns!

Everyone is very knowledgeable. Dr. Montano takes great care to explain the procedure.

Shoulder surgery went well, recovery was easy and I now have amazing agility. Well done Dr Haggerty and staff

First time visit. Very satisfied with his evaluation of my condition and MRI and agreed with the current plan of care. Felt I got excellent care.

.

Wonderful example of how a surgeon should treat the patient. His staff is amazing and so knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for any better treatment.

Thank you. office visit was very nice. hope Alaska heart allows me to get treated this time. Pioneer has always been great through 2 knee replacements an 1 spinal surgery. They deal with the VA a lot better than I do.

Dr. Schuchart devotes 100% of his focus on you and your issue. He is open, honest and up front in your treatment options and will always ask your thoughts, feeling, and opinion with any procedure he feels is what you may or may not need if there are alternate options he will suggest. I will see Dr. Schuchart anytime need assistance with my lower back, Pioneer Peak Orthopedics is by far head and shoulders above any other operation I have had any dealings with.

Dr. Schuchart and staff were kind, courteous, and professional. I have dealt with other doctors here as well , and they have always been great.

Everything is wonderful, very happy

He is so nice and just the best. Wouldn’t see anyone else

First time with Dr Jetter and he was friendly and explained everything, as well as giving me different options. Would highly recommend him.

Top notch care, professional, and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Quick to be attended to by the doctor and very informative

Dr Jetter was very nice and knowledgeable. Very prompt, got right in, x-ray tech came right in to get me, also very nice. I felt great after speaking with Dr Jetter and formulating a plan moving forward. Great office staff also!!

Entire office and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Felt very welcomed and put at ease with any of my concerns. Dr. Strohmeyer explained my procedure in great length and answered any and all questions I had. Had a couple more after I left and got a response within a very reasonable time frame.

Great bedside manner and pain free injections

Fantastic surgeon. Best side manners.

Dr Schuchart explained the procedure and answered my questions.

Excellent!

Helpful, caring, professional, supportive! Great staff! Highly recommend for a knee replacement!!

Amazing staff and fast friendly and knowledgeable!

Everyone at the surgical center and the Pioneer peak team have been wonderful. I was treated well. They didn’t talk to me like I didn’t know anything and yeah, I don’t know what else to say except the service and the quality of treatment I received was excellent.

Working with Dr. Montano and his office staff was a delight. They went above and beyond to help me. They made sure my insurance covered my surgery and were more than willing to help me with everything I needed. They also return phone calls in a timely manner. Over all I have been very impressed with the staff and the Dr. Montano.

Everyone was friendly, I didn’t have to wait long. The problem with my hand was taken care of immediately. I’ll definitely go back with any ortho problems.

Other than the pain that would come with an operation like this, I have had a great experience with everyone who has been taking care of me. I would definitely recommend Stromeyer to anybody.

The very best providers and professional staff. Always courteous and kind. Take the time to review what you need and work to help you recover as quickly as possible. Thank you!

Very professional, and caring, Dr. Strohmeyer and his entire team. I have had both an elective surgery and emergency surgery; and I was pleased with each outcomes. I would and have recommended Pioneer Peak to others.

Awesome doctor. I highly recommend him to anyone needing surgery.

Dr. Strohmeyer was personable, calming, friendly, professional, and gave the appearance of being very thorough. I say that because he ended up referring me to another surgeon. Who he honestly thought could do a better job for me considering my special needs. I highly recommend him and his entire office for the very high level of service they provide.

It was a great visit. Was able to get a plan together so I can have my shoulder surgery.

Dr. Schuchsrt was very kind with pointing out the solution to my issue. He did a great job on my neck. I highly recommend him for any needs you may have. Pioneer Peak Orthopedics is a great resource for all orthopedic issues.

From my first appointment for this left shoulder throughout my visits with Dr Haggerty and his staff, I was treated well. They worked hard to make this surgery successful for me. This is my second time having surgery with him and his staff. Nothing is overlooked. They take their time to listen. I would and have highly recommend them to everyone. My experience at the hospital was really good too. From the front desk check in to the last wheeling out to my daughter’s car after surgery, kind, caring and thoughtful people. I met some great staff at our hospital. Praying for each individual that would care for me was an honor. I’m truly grateful for the care I have received from Charles Haggerty and his team.

He is very professional.

My first appointment with Dr. Shaha and he was wonderful! I broke my wrist and the entire office were so helpful in getting me in to see Dr. Shaha! He explained my fracture and the treatment plan that give the best outcome! He was kind and took his time to hear me! I will be seeing him in a week at Mat Su Surgery Center! :)

First time meeting Dr. Jetter and was very impressed with his thoughts and recommendations. Will definitely use him as my foot Dr.

Wonderful staff. Doctor easily acknowledged and referred me for higher care. Thank you!

He was very caring and took his time explaining to me, and to my husband in McGrath on speaker phone, exactly what was going on with my shoulder. He answered all our questions and explained everything that the surgery would involve. Importantly, we were not rushed!

Friendly, timely, thorough, professional, understandable, and enjoyable. Will recommend Dr. Haggerty to others.

wonderful couldn't have been bettter

Good service

Excellent surgeon. I am very pleased with Dr. Hagerty so far and.hope for full recovery. He seems to be no nonsense and direct, which works for me.

MA was excellent. DR was caring. Surgery scheduler was very kind and helpful.

I received the best care. From initial appt to surgery to post-op. I highly recommend Dr Haggerty and his wonderful staff.

Dr Haggerty listens to me. He doesn’t pressure you to have surgery. He will list all your options and then help you decide which is best for you.

Excellent from start to finish, staff and Dr Shaha

Didn't feel talked down to or patronized. Very thorough. Answered questions with confidence. 4 stars. Would recommend.

Personable. Easy to understand. Good at pictionary (drew the surgery on paper).

Top notch. Educated, one on one patient rapore

Kind good bed side manner

I didn't see Doctor that long but defiantly cares about patient. I believe he will be able find treatment for my injury after car accident. he did good impressment on me he Welkom patient in exam room with smile and shake hand. His explain problem clearly to be understand what he is talking about.

He is very knowledgeable in his field and very kind. I know he wants the best for me. I am thankful to have him. Thank you!

Dr Strohmeyer has been my surgeon for a knee replacement and broken wrist. He's the best!

', Can’t say too much since it was my first visit, but I really like the doctor and he told me what he could do and how hard it would be. We’re gonna talk about it when I come back from vacation next year

Great experience with my shoulder surgery and Dr Shaha has been great.

Had shoulder repair on August 1, 2025. Dr. Haggerty explained the damage, including drawing the injury to my shoulder, so that I could fully understand. Surgery went well, and follow up care has been thorough.

Always Professional and friendly staff

Excellent results, appreciated the rapId response and highly recommend.

Dr. Strohmeyer was excellent as usual.

Good experience and feel much better

It was very good

Was great, to the point. Did a very good job.

Good experience, on my knee surgery, recovery is painful and long, at 6weeks

Very pleased with the results of my shoulder surgery. Dr. Haggerty has fixed both. I would highly recommend him.

Informative pleasant to speak with answered to my questions didn’t feel rushed Everyone I’ve met at PPO have been amazing

I was early for my appointment, asked what was up after 30 minutes and was told I wasn't checked in (which I was). Then they thought I was in for a shot, it was a follow-up from earlier to see if Physical Therapy was working. Appointment lasted 5 minutes after waiting almost an hour.

Great team that gave me my mobility back. Thank you and may God bless your team.

Great experience

Very professional and I appreciate the level of communication and willingness and patience to answer all of my questions.

They treated my 7 year old son great , kept him calm and explained everything, im very happy with the experience. Thanks guys

Polite & professional. Quick service from check in, to seeing the doctor. Straight forward information and opinions. Good information on diagnosis and options, without the feeling of pressure to make hasty decisions.

Love my surgeon! I was overly stressed out on my way in and everybody was like, no worries. Even the cashier at the salad bar knew his name when I said I had the surgery and was so excited for me. In general, I don't remember anything although I I can pull up some detail. No pain at all leaving the hospital. I needed an ice machine to circulate cold water and the out of Network vendor of a fancy machine, it did not work out at all. My friend recommended Access Alaska in Fairview, 1217 East 10th. They have plenty on stock of basic circulating machines that they loan out to the community. I raced to town and got one and mailed it back when I was done. It worked great. The pain pills were effective and they don't get you high. I found the pill with acetaminophen to be more effective. No constipation at all. And initially the pain was uncomfortable but not unbearable. And I found a decreased by 50% every 2 weeks. I only took one or two pain pills per day when I took them. It's been 4 months and I literally taking it easy easy. My recovery is fantastic. The physical therapy team is well informed and communicating with the doctor.

Dr Shaha, was honest and sympathetic to my nerve damage. Although it is a very slow recovery from breaking my wrist, he gave me suggestions and ways to manage it while waiting for the healing. Thank you for reassuring me. First time patient

Dr Strohmeyer is a fabulous doc. Up front. Informative and follow-up is great

Had a terrible fracture, extremely painful. I was out of the hospital 2 days later from emergency surgery.

Dr.Schuchart

What a delight to have met Miss McKinney. She is very informative great personality, and very professional. don't hesitate to schedule with her. Steve R

I went to see him after experiencing severe pain in my left hip that traveled down my left leg to my calf and ankle. He was friendly and listened to me and briefly examined the X-rays before determining there was a little scoliosis and a little arthritis going on. He suggested I do PT and come back and see him in 6 weeks. 6 weeks later I was doing great and came back for the recall visit. He accepted my story of healing through PT with Woo’s Wellness and joint supplements and told me to come back if I ever needed any help in the future. There was no pressure to go to their PT they usually refer their patients to. (I had just begun PT a few days before seeing him the first time.)

Dr. Strohmeyer is a Caring and Kind Orthopedic Surgeon that did a Knee Replacement for me today ! Thank You to Dr.Strohmeyer and his Wonderful Staff ! Sincerely, Terry Bickford

Highly recommend!!!

Like him very much. Smart friendly to the point? Not afraid to answer questions about other foot. Conservative about jumping to surgery

The Dr. did an initial exam and determined that an additional test should be done to help identify the issue

Excellent

Dr Strohmeyer is knowledgeable and knows his medical practice area, he is very personable has good bedside manner and reaches out of professionally and casually. I think very highly of them and have used them for two significant surgeries.

Dr. Haggerty was amazing Would recommend him to anyone who needs shoulder work. Much better than my 1st rotator cuff surgery Thank you Dr

Dr. Haggerty showed utmost care on my condition spending time to explain everything and answer any question I had. I have full confidence in him for all my orthopedic concerns of my shoulder.

Before I had seen Dr. Montano I had been to other providers who told me my rotator cuff could not be repaired. Dr. Montano was very positive about a successful outcome and did indeed successfully repair my rotator cuff and my bicep as well. The recovery is going great and the clinic answers every question I have as well as making sure I'm getting the correct physical therapy as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Montano to anyone seeking an orthopedic surgeon.

The front end staff (and check out)is always friendly. All the times I have dealt with them they make me feel comfortable and relaxed and show that they really care about me as a patient. I've never noticed any type of tension or impatience from them.

thorough comprehensive understandable.

Wonderful

I recommend this very respect and good professional doctor for everyone. Thank you Doctor.

Thank you for seeing me and tgank you for helping to address my knee pain for now.

Extremely professional and friendly im very happy with the Doctor and his staff. Art G.

Professional, courteous and knowledgeable service. Thank you

The experience was and efficient was very happy, thank you

Made the physical healing of a traumatic car accident easier to go through! Thank you for your help!

There is no better surgeon for rotator cuff than Dr. Haggerty

The surgery seems to have gone gone well. During my 6 week followup I voiced concerns about numbness on the back of my wrist. But it was talked around and not really addressed. I would have liked it if the doctor had been more verbal about about the numbness and what is going on there.

Dr. Montano has a great bedside manner taking time to understand my health issues and goals for recovery. He uses current best practices and techniques. Wonderful Doctor to work with.

Excellent

Dr. Haggerty is the best. I came to him after having a doctor tell me I needed to have both shoulders replaced and was ready to schedule surgery. I went to Dr. Haggerty and he gave me options and relief from the pain for two years. I’m ready for surgery and once again he is giving me options. Think he is a great doctor and listens and addresses patients concerns.

Dr Haggerty is awesome. Very informative explained everything so I could easily understand it I would highly recommend him if you need to see an orthopod

My visit was was excellent. Good assessment, treatment, explanation and follow up plan.

Great description of my son’s injury. Clear advice for healing. The Pioneer Peak team made a best case scenario out of a bummer of a circumstance to get our son active again!

I trust Dr. Strohmeyer and Ksenia completely with their care and advice. Very personable and professional. I would, and do, highly recommend Dr. Stromeyer’s office at every opportunity.

Words can't express how amazing Dr Schuchart is. He truly cares about his patience. Chelsea his Ma is truly amazing to. The frontdesk is always ready to help. He listens to you and does what is necessary to help you. His bed side manner is very positive and absolutely amazing. I was in so much pain, it was off the chart. He fused my back on July 1st, 2025 and I woke up with no pain. Still 8 weeks later still no pain. He gave me my life back to live every day and enjoy it. I would recommend everyone that has back pain to go see Dr Schuchart.

The surgeon and his staff is terrific. Mat-Su Regional, however, had spotty post-operative care (not the doctor’s fault).

I recently had surgery with Dr. Michael Montano in Wasilla, Alaska, for a torn rotator cuff, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care I received. Dr. Montano did an excellent job with my repair, and from start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free. His staff went above and beyond to make me feel cared for and supported. They coordinated seamlessly with my insurance provider and the company handling my disability claim, which made everything so much easier on my end. The office itself was well-organized, clean, and welcoming. What stood out most was the kindness and professionalism of Dr. Montano and his entire team. I truly felt like I was in good hands throughout the whole experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Montano to anyone in need of orthopedic care.

Dr. Shaha is kind, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. I’ve seen him for myself and several of my children and have only had great experiences. His office staff is also amazing. We highly recommend him for any and all of your orthopedic needs.

Dr.Haggerty was prompt, professional, thorough, friendly and explained things quite well. We had an enjoyable conversation. We came up with a program to address my shoulder issue. I am looking forward to my follow-up visit.

Dr Haggerty performed a thorough assessment, was kind and comprehensive in his explanation about my options. He was instrumental in helping me attain an appointment for follow-up with a colleague who specializes in the medical care I need. I appreciate his direct approach and would strongly recommend him. Jacqui G

Dr Strohmeyer always great!! Listens and provides feedback.

Dr. Montano is great to work with. He is reasonable, honest and easy to talk to about your concerns and what you'd like to see happen. He doesn't push procedures and works to do what is best for you as a patient. Highly recommend.

Really pleased with Dr. Montano‘s service and recommendations thoroughly thorough and informative answered all questions necessary was very pleased with his approach with considerations on treatment and follow up. Definitely a professional person very very pleased.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Strohmeyer and his entire team. From the moment I first met him, I could tell he truly cares about his patients. He is polite, patient, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident in your care. Dr. Strohmeyer performed surgery on my knee, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. His skill, attention to detail, and dedication to my recovery were exceptional. Throughout the entire process, I always felt heard, respected, and cared for — not just as a patient, but as a person. His staff is just as incredible. Every member of his team is friendly, professional, and goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and supported. If you are looking for a doctor who combines expertise with genuine compassion, Dr. Strohmeyer is the one to see. I am truly grateful for all he has done for me. Annette Oels

Excellent

Very comfortable with Dr Haggerty. I'm confont with the service he's going to be doing for me Very thankful

Dr Montano is great. He explains everything thoroughly and doesn't pressure you into anything you don't want to do.

Dr Montano is professional, kind, courteous, thorough, and he even gave me his own personal cell number. I really appreciate Doctors who really care!

I always go to him. He has been nothing but great and always gives me great suggestions!

For a busy office, appointment time was right on! Dr. Montano is awesome! Understanding and get bed side manner!

Dr Shaha is very kind and knowledgable. He made my kid feel very comfy before, during and after surgery. Highly recommend!

Efficient, courteous and Professional. A great experience

Good doc easy to talk to with a great sense of humor.

Greeted warmly by happy front desk staff. Medical assistant was friendly and professional. Dr. Haggerty was efficient in the prep for the procedure and I felt seen and heard by him. He genuinely seems glad to see me and assist in my pain relief.

Dr Schuchart shared with my mri and explained the next steps. Very polite.

Had a great experience having Dr. Shaha as my orthopedic doctor.

Very good

Dr Montano ranks as one of the finest doctors I have ever met. Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but he rally takes the time to LISTEN to his patients.

Took the time to address and answer all my concerns, hard to find these days

Dr.Montano explained everything he was going to do before my surgery in a clear and precise manner. He's answered all my questions since the procedure and has helped in my recovery.

Excellent experience - Dr Shaha spent time explaining my injury and all my options really well. Very grateful to the entire staff for their excellent customer service and patient care.

I am very happy with Dr. Schuchart and team for my first visit. He immediately went into action with the next step. Looking forward to a better back.

Excellent service

Outstanding clinic top to bottom. Dr Strohmeyer is an amazing surgeon. He has taken care of both my son and I. You cant go wrong with Dr Strohmeyer and his team!

I'm so so happy with the results after my shoulder surgery. As far as I'm concern he's number one in his craft. Thank you so much Dr. Shaha

5 star excellent doctor. Very caring. Takes time to listen and explains things.

All my concerns were addressed and a treatment plan was made.

Amazing doctor, very well educated with phenomenal bedside manners. Has a genuine concern for his patient well-being. I appreciate him.

Personable, friendly, great visit! Thank you.

It was a good day. I am healing and if I don’t get hit by a train I’ll heal just fine. Thank you CA

This was a follow-up appt. Good experience. Dr Shaha is a great doctor.

Excellent care and treatment. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff.

The best Doctors in the state!

DR HAGGERTY IS THE BEST! THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND OR MY SHOULDER!! HE DID A REVERSE SHOULDER REPLACEMENT AND I HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN SINCE SURGERY. HIS OFFICE IS KIND AND HELPFUL. THEY ARE RESPONSIVE WHEN I REACHED OUT FOR ASSISTANCE WITH MY WORK PAPERWORK TO EXTEND MY LEAVE. DR. HAGGERTY IS PROFESSIONAL AND HONEST. HIS NURSES MARISSA & KALEIGH ARE THE BEST!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. HAGGERTY FOR ANY SHOULDER NEEDS!!! HE'S THE BOMB!!

Their office was very clean. Their staff was great and answered any and all questions.

Very thorough doctor. Very good demeanor.

Dr Montano and his staff are the best. They have your best interests in mind first and foremost. Dr Montano is an exceptionally skilled surgeon and has successfully operated on four separate areas of my aging body. At 69 years old I fell like I'm 50. When I was 50 I felt 69. Pioneer Peak has added years to my life and I can't recommend then enough.

Professional and courteous bedside manner. Always takes the time to talk with you and understand the problem and clearly provides options and recommendations.

Dr. Schuchart has a wonderful bedside manner and works we will others in the clinic. I look forward to going back to see him in the future for further treatment.

Very good with communication, answering my questions thoroughly, giving options for what to do, and decided would be good to examine my new problem. Very helpful and courteous.

Dr. Schuchart exemplifies professional excellence.

Dr. Is very professional and care was exceptional. Staff very hapelpfull on pre operation appointments. Very pleased overall with the treatment I received for my recent hip replacement. Will definitely refer any one I know to him if they need help in this matter.

I was more than and am extremely pleased with my experience. Dr. was very nice and informative. Felt very good about haveing this done by him. A great guy and a great staff. Thanks so much!

Fast and very informative and kind

Dr. Strohmeyer is very kind and compassionate. I appreciate that he doesn't just tell me what I HAVE to do - he gives me options and helps me decide which one is the best choice for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a capable Orthopedic physician.

Very courteous and professional folks. It really shows that they care about each and every patient they see. Dr. Montano has been very informative and doesn't treat you like a number. I will always recommend him and the staff at Pioneer.

He is the best. Takes time and listens to you and works with you to come up with a plan. Calls you even on the weekends to check to see how you are doing (after surgery).

Dr. Haggerty is just great!

Dr Schuchart answered all my questions about my upcoming surgery and put my mind at ease.

Dr Haggerty with reputation and my experience is the best orthopedic surgeon in the state.

I have been very lucky to get first-in-the-morning appointments for my quarterly procedure. The staff is pleasant and are happy to answer my questions.

To be honest he’s the best surgeon I’ve ever meet in my life and thanks again for helping my shoulder your the best

Always exceptional!

Polite and friendly staff,they gave me treatment I was filling like I was home.

First time meeting Dr. Jetter and he was friendly and funny and put me at ease. I really liked him.

Extremely quick to get into, thorough, great experience to fix the pain and range of motion problems.

Dr. Haggerty takes his time and listens to you. He explains in great detail how he will treat you. He is one of the best doctors I’ve had. Cannot thank him enough.

I have known Dr. Strohmeyer since he was on a Palmer swim team with my daughter and son. He is down to earth, approachable, kind, supportive, encouraging and fair. He listens as if he has nowhere else to be. His office is extremely well run. Dr. Strohmeyer performed a total knee replacement for me in 2023; but only after I made the decision to do it. He doesn’t push surgery at all. He explains all options and gives his patients total autonomy over their health decisions. I would recommend him (and I do) to everyone. I would trust him with my own children and family.

Best most informative doctor to date

Caring, listens, works to partner with the patient to get a good resolution.

Dr. Jetter is a wonderful physician. He is kind and understanding, and also thorough and professional. If he thinks you can be better helped by another physician, he will refer you to them. I highly recommend him.

Amazing

Very professional, very knowledgeable, and cared about my well being as a patient. Thank you :-)

Dr Montano is thoughtful and thorough. He takes the time to answer all our questions.

Dr. Montano is the best! He is the only surgeon I recommend to family and friends.

Very friendly staff and attentive to my needs. Fixed my left shoulder back in 2020 and going to fix my right now. Wouldn’t use anyone else.

very professional and knowledgeable. I look forward to another visit with him. I think he straight up and detailed.

Great appointment and awesome doctor

Thanks for help help

I am so grateful for the expertise, kindness and treatment I received from Dr. Montano. I broke and displaced my elbow in a bicycle accident and needed surgery to fix it. This was my first broken bone. The entire procedure went smoothly and Dr. Montano made sure I was comfortable with the entire process. I can’t thank him and his staff enough for my experience at Pioneer Peak.

Dr. Haggerty is very thorough and listens to my concerns.

Professional, efficient, personable. Dr. Strohmeyer listened carefully and provided me with the answers and resources I was seeking. He let me direct my care, without pushing me to choose additional treatments.

Excellent Doctor. Graduate of prestigious medical school and fellowship. So his training goes far beyond average requirements. This shows real dedication. Dr. Schuchart is patient and kind. He takes all the time necessary to answer all your questions.

Dr Montano listens carefully and pays attention to my concerns. Plus did a great job with my knee surgery. Good follow-up as well. Very pleased with the experience.

Dr Montano was very personable. He was also very informative about my problem. I would recommend him to everyone in know.

I feel very confident about my upcoming surgery after talking to Dr. Shehar and Chelsea

I received great care and was always informed about my care

Satisfied that he assessed the problem and made carefully thought recommendations

At least he listens.

Great treatment of patients. Offers options.

Best place in the valley to have a opa doctor

Excellent care and post op follow up .

He’s caring and listened to my concerns even if he thought they weren’t anything to worry about. Him and Chelsea are fabulous people

Very professional and knowledgeable doctor

My husband and I absolutely love Dr. Montano and his staff. Danielle McKinney, PA was very attentive to all our concerns and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend his office for all your orthopedic needs.

They have a can do attitude. Professional and positive. Knowledgeable and encouraging .

Sorry for the previous post. I had positive experiences not only with Dr. Schuchart, but all the doctors and employees at Pioneer Peak. In have recommended this group to others, and will continue to do so.

I had a very positive experience with not only Dr. ASchuchart, but all the doctors

Dr. Strohmeyer listens and makes suggestions as to what needs to be done. He is very personable and easy to talk to. He is very knowledgeable. I really like him as a person and my doctor.

RIGHT KNEE SHOT UP LESS PAIN TODAY STILL CAN'T WALK EXCEPT WITH WALKER

Doctor went over my concerns.he was polite and informative

My visit to Dr Haggerty was a positive experience. He listened to my situation, looked at the whole picture and gave me some options, which were greatly appreciated. He works with me.

From the moment I met Dr. Strohmeyer I was at ease and felt seen and heard. We initially tried a simpler procedure to try and fix my knee issue. This past Friday, I had a complete knee replacement and am doing so well. I would recommend Dr. Strohmer to anyone. He and his staff are the best in the business.

Needed a second opinion and was very comfortable with his response

Dr. Haggerty is the best his staff is top-notch. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for an orthopedic doctor or surgeon give them a call they’ll take care of you and get you back to your peak.

Knowledgeable and thorough with explanations. His caring shines through. Presents information and seeks information that is particular with me to facilitate the best plan of care.

Pioneer Peak has worked with and our difficult logistics.We have found them very friendly helpful and competent in everything.

Dr. Haggerty is the best. He’s not only a great surgeon but also a terrific follow up physician. Thank you Dr. Haggerty for my repaired shoulder!

Very professional and friendly. I had no issues with any of the staff.

Information provided regarding my current hand issues was excellent ! I felt that the Dr. took my concerns seriously and gave me advice to help understand my condition and how to proceed. I intend to continue seeing Dr Shaha for my arthritic thumb issues.

Very pleasant and helpful person.

Dr. Haggerty is extremely positive, knowledgeable and caring.

I felt like I was in good hands and it turned out excellent!

Dr Montano was personable and kind, staff helpful and engaged.

Only issue I hade was a 20 minute wait after appointment time to actually see the Dr. they are great and attentive people though.

Professional and friendly.

Knowledgeable staff that provides great care.

Very knowledgeable and very professional. Highly recommended

Excellent and highly recommended skilled doctor. He takes time with you and answers your questions. Makes you feel you are his only patient. Unfortunately, I need my other knee replaced but I know I am in good hands with Dr. Montano.

Love dr strohmeyerr.

My knee replacement went well and I would absolutely refer Dr Strohmeyer. I have nothing but respect and praise for the medical services i received. Thanks for making it an amazing experience.

Dr. Shaha was very informative and pleasant.

A very informative visit.

Very personable and very understanding!

Informative, compassionate and positive outlook!

Excellent staff and direction to care

I was very pleased with the whole staff, my shoulders good! And they were honest and upfront the whole time!

The office was friendly the doctors are very knowledgeable in their field also took the time to explain the pros and cons of my options pertaining to my situation I would recommend pioneer peck to anyone

I would like to give a huge shout out to DR Schuchart.. I had a great experience with him for my surgery. I have had the same surgery 2 different times by different DR's and he is by far the best one you rock Dr Schuchart. Thank You Cheryl

Dr. Haggerty and the entire practice are patient oriented, knowledgeable and professional. The only thing I would suggest is: to advise patients to have/ rent a Recliner at the Initial pre-op appointment. Day of surgery is to late. Highly recommend Dr. Haggerty.

Wonderful staff. Good care provided.

Respect

Healing slowly, regaining strength, but definitely on the mend. Dr. has explained everything in a way that I could understand. Support staff and Dr. Haggerty have been great.

This is my second surgery with Dr. Strohmeyer and I couldn't be happier with the results. I received exceptional care from Dr. Strohmeyer and Ksenia Sokolova. From the initial consultation to the post-operative follow-up, his/her professionalism, expertise, and compassion were evident every step of the way. My husband also had knee surgery with Dr. Strohmeyer and hand surgery with Dr. Shaha and received the same exceptional care as I did. Pioneer Peak is our go to.I highly recommend them to anyone seeking orthopedic treatment.

I needed to talk to a shoulder expert, and I was able to do that.

Pioneer Peak Orthopedics has such a great team of people who genuinely care about your health and getting you back on you feet. This is my second time needing their services and they always take fantastic care of my needs. Dr. Shaha is kind, knowledgeable and very approachable when it comes to explaining issues and procedures. I always feel confident with his care. Thank you for getting me up and going, again.

Working with Dr. Michael Montano is always the best part of having to go through something tough like surgery. He values the patients opinion and treats you like a friend. He genuinely wants you to get better and hopes that he doesn’t have to see you again in that capacity. Unfortunately I’ve had a few surgeries and every time I see him he almost seems bummed that he has to operate but shows ultimate levels of optimism, because he loves seeing people at their best and not laid up recovering. From the office visits to the professional and friendly manner before surgery you always feel in good hands. As long as I live up here, if I get hurt he’s my guy to see. Working with pioneer peak orthopedic is always friendly and an easy experience.

The doctor is very knowledgeable, but also very arrogant I understand he is probably very good at what he does but he really needs To have more options for patients and maybe look into alternative options instead of a Cortizone shot or surgery

great people that care about your personal health and wellbeing!!!

Dr. Strohmeyer’s excellent work has changed my life. No more hip pain following a total hip replacement. Was given clear, post-op instructions on restrictions. Recovery very comfortable with great results. This is our second experience with Dr. Strohmeyer. Highly recommend him.

My care from day one has been excellent with Dr. Michael Montano. He answers all my questions, describes in detail what my treatment is and will be, and genuinely demonstrates that he cares. I highly recommend his expertise!!

Good

Dr Schuchart is knowledgeable, able to tell you what is happening in your back and lets you know what to expect with surgery. I had back surgery for stenosis and now I have absolutely no pain. I am now able to walk a mile around my house with my dog. I would give him a 20 out of 10. Do you have back problems? Go see Dr. Schuchart

After being in extreme pain and on heavy medicine for what seemed like forever I went to Dr. Garret Schuchart, he diagnosed a major problem with my spine and fixed it. Dr. Schuchart made a major difference in my life. He is extremely intelligent..

I've had 4 shoulder surgeries, first one was done by another surgeon, 3 of them done by DR Haggerty. Ive experienced only minimal post-op pain, and no complications. I'm a nurse and have met a few of his patients in a clinical setting. They've all had very positive things to say about him as well.

He is a real good doctor that cares about his patients. I think the world of him he’s always so polite and nice to me. He’s very concerned when you talk to him about anything he’s a great doctor I love going to him. The nurses are great and very friendly, and always takes care of us.

Excellent. Very easy and accommodating Thank you

Always a good experience. Good listener, and that's important.

Everything went well.

Dr. Shaha is a great surgeon. He did surgery on my ankle a couple of years ago and just recently my knee. He listens and explains everything very clearly. I would recommend him to anyone. His office staff are wonderful as well. They are all very friendly in person and on the phone. Perfect place to go if your in need of a Orthopedic Surgeon!

Wow! A doctor with a great bedside manner. He explains everything and is always on time. And his assistant Chelsey is a great assistant and asset for him. They make a great team.

Dr. Strohmeyer always spells out all of the options available to me and lets me choose what I am most comfortable with. Thank you for all your care and concern.

Dr. MONTANO has performed several repairs and surgeries on me in the last 6 years. Very knowledgeable, great bedside manner, gets to the point and tells you the truth. I will always refer him to everyone needing any ortho services.

I had cervical spinal surgery in February, ACDF levels C4-7. From my first visit all the way through follow-ups I received thoughtful instructions, realistic expectations, and respectful answers to my questions. Dr. Schuchart made me feel as if every question was important. He and his staff at Pioneer Peak Orthopedic have taken great care of me, and exceeded all my expectations for a Great outcome! My husband is so impressed with the high-end technology Dr. Schuchart used. I'm already back to gardening, yard care, and playing with the grandkids! I'm very happy!

Very thorough

Dr Haggerty is the greatest!! He was able to repair my shoulders and my recovery has been speedy. He has my highest praise.

Dr. Strohmeyer and his entire staff are the best. They do top notch thorough work, and quality of care. I think most of their referrals come from highly satisfied prior patients. I will certainly recommend to all my family & friends who need help. ~Martin Bee

My experience with Dr. Montano has been very professional and very knowledgeable. He and his team and his robot gave me a new knee in December 2022 has been working great ever since now my shoulder needs his assistance and I trust him to do that as well. Highly recommend Dr. Montano. He is great.

The whole experience for my surgery was excellent.

Excellent results. Two orthopedic doctors turned me down for shoulder repair due to my age which is 72. Doctor Haggerty told me he could repair my shoulder, I was not too old for surgery and he was right. Back to swimming and exercising! I am so pleased.

Every time I’ve gone in there, they’ve taken care of me with no problem. They are very top-notch and caring.

Im sure there are good Orthopedics out there but Dr Greg Strohmeyer is the best in our books.He is very friendly, professional, great surgeon, bedside manner is over the top. Everyone in his office is outstanding!

Proactive doctor. Great plan n of action

Dr. Shaha is one of the kindest, most caring doctors you’ll ever meet. I highly recommend him. He is a highly skilled physician and surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner.

Absolutely fantastic! I send all my family and friends to Dr Shaha. He is professional, caring and takes very good care of you.
