“Dr. Dunn and the entire staff at DOC, are fantastic! Dr. Dunn has operated on me three separate times in the past 12 months. With each of these operations, he has been "spot on" with his decision to operate, and what I could expect both pre and post-op. He explained things thoroughly, discussed the pro's and con's, and left no doubt in my mind that he was the person I wanted to do the procedures. When I first met him, I felt right away that I could trust him, and that he would provide the very best care I could ask for. I enjoy his straight talk, no-holds-barred approach, but, at the same time, he says "your the boss here, your driving this bus so whatever you want or need we will provide for you." I do enjoy visiting and talking with him and the staff. I think my response to your question speaks for its self on how I feel about my experience with Desert Orthopedics Center. Thank you for providing this means to express my opinions about my DOC experience!”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Perry's for many years. I have never felt better than I do now. Dr. Perry is a fantastic surgeon and human being. I trust him, and his team, implicitly. They've always treated me with the utmost respect. They've always treated me like I was worthy of their time. They worked very hard, and succeeded, in making my life physically better which results in a happier life. ”

“From my first meeting with Dr. Kang, I felt he was genuinely interested in what was best for me regarding my current and future health. I was ready to have my hip replaced at our first meeting, and after listening to his diagnosis, I decided to wait until I was sure the time was right. I had my other hip replaced ten years earlier, so I wasn't apprehensive about the surgery, but in hindsight, I'm glad I waited. Now seven weeks after surgery I feel great and know that the quality of my life is improving on a daily basis. I will refer everyone I come in contact with who are experiencing issues with their hip(s) to see Dr. Kang for his opinion regarding their condition.”

“We had three total physicians for opinions. Dr. Perry was the only doctor that explained everything in depth; he took time to explain procedures, symptoms and made us feel genuinely comfortable with him also shared with us what to expect. When it came time for surgery, he thoroughly explained that procedure, the benefits, risks, etc. During operation Dr. Perry came out to let us know that there was a problem, he shared what happened and how he would fix it, not only that he hugged me and let me know things will be okay. During the hospital stay, Dr. Perry visited twice, even on a Saturday morning. My daughter was doing great; she wanted to show Dr. Perry that she could get out of bed, he explained how happy he was with her and that he was proud of her accomplishments of walking and they want to get out of bed. Dr. Perry is in the right profession. He has the most impeccable bedside manner I’ve ever experienced, he shows compassion and truly cares for not just his patients but their family. Thank you, Dr. Perry! ”

“Dr. Dunn has operated on me four times in five months, I developed a spinal cord leak, which was causing my bandages to become soaked. Dr. Dunn came into his office the day before New Years and New Years to change my dressings. When it became clear that the leak would not heal its self which they usually do, I was going into surgery again to have him stitch it closed. Everything was going great until the next leak which he could not believe nor could I. This time it was excruciating and I could not stand up without my head feeling like it was going to explode. Dr. Dunn was going to try a blood patch which is the usual way to stop the leak, that was until I was on the x-ray table and what Dr. Dunn described as a lake on the back, not doing the blood patch. Dr. Dunn then set surgery for that next day a Saturday. The operation was a success, I did not like having to stay in bed for the next 48 hours and could be more than 25 degrees upright. He came to see me on Sunday as well, he joked and said it was the only time in his years of practice that he had ever had a leak like this. He followed up on Monday, he told me I was out of here and to take the next few days to recover he checked on me every day for the next week. His bedside manner is a 10. ”
