The Bone & Joint Center

After hiking a canyon in Arizona, DeeJay began experiencing knee pain and swelling. Unsure what it was, he came to The Bone & Joint Center seeking answers and it was discovered he had a damaged meniscus that needed surgery.

“Since I’d never had surgery before, I didn’t know what to expect, but Dr. Timothy Juelson and his team gave me confidence that I was in good hands.

My surgery was short, and I was back home the same day. Within a week I was walking again and after 3 months was feeling 100%. From taking my dog out every day to pheasant hunting every year and all the hikes in between, I’m back to walking without pain.”

Robert had been to The Bone & Joint Center before, so when he was experiencing Charcot neuropathy in his left foot, he knew to see Dr. Chad Carlson again.

“Dr. Carlson is great at explaining things like a normal person, not like a surgeon. He kept me updated on the status of my foot, when I needed surgery, and what the outcome would be.

Once I had my surgery, Dr. Carlson was very clear about my recovery. I wasn’t able to use crutches, and he made sure my entire care team was ready to help me find new ways to move around.

Now, I’m back to doing everything I love doing—without pain.”

Bobbi was dealing with one of the worst cases of arthritis Dr. Brian Dahl had ever seen. He successfully replaced her knee and got her back on her feet. Three years later, new tightness in her leg brought her back to The Bone & Joint Center.

“My X-ray showed bone on bone, and it was clear I needed a hip replacement. Dr. Dahl listened to all my concerns and walked me through what to expect. Both him and the rest of my care team were friendly and treated me like a real person, not just another patient.

Thanks to their dedication, a successful surgery, and detailed recovery exercises, I’m walking better than I have in three years.”

Bruce’s son had been to The Bone & Joint Center after a torn ACL in 2015. So, when Bruce was dealing with meniscus tears in both of his knees, he knew where to go.

“Dr. Joseph Carlson and the rest of my care team were very kind and considerate. They answered my questions and addressed any concerns I had going into my arthroscopic surgery. Along with injections, I’m now pain-free and back to curling.”
