Texas Orthopedic Specialists, PLLC

Patients of Texas Orthopedic
Specialists, PLLC have a lot to say about the care they
receive:

Karl wasn’t thrilled about the prospect of
two complete knee replacements, but the more he heard about Dr. O. David
Taunton Jr., the more he knew he was in good hands. “Dr. Taunton performed my
knee replacements five years apart, and I’m happy to report both knees are in
great shape,” he said. “I’m able to enjoy my grandkids and even a little time
on the golf course.”

Heather really appreciates the time Dr.
Howard Harris took explaining her condition and the treatment he recommended.
“He replaced my right shoulder four years ago,” she said. “Now, I’m back for
the left. I have absolute confidence I’m in the best hands with Dr.
Harris.”

When Sharon was looking for an orthopedic
surgeon to undertake her complete shoulder replacement, she asked her primary
care physician for a recommendation. He not only recommended Dr. Michael L.
Nguyen at Texas Orthopedic Specialists, PLLC, but told her he sees Dr. Nguyen
himself. She couldn’t be happier with the care she received.

Michelle was a little worried when her
husband required surgery on his elbow. But Dr. B. Todd Drury did such a good
job that, when their son needed surgery on his hand, she didn’t think twice.
“We knew Dr. Drury would do as good a job for him,” she said. “The surgery
went amazingly, and he had almost no pain afterward.”

Brooke really appreciates the time Dr. Nathan
B. Haile takes during her appointments explaining recommended treatment and
answering any questions she has. “He always has a smile and seems genuinely
concerned about me,” she said. “He takes time to alleviate my anxiety and let
me know exactly what to expect with any procedure.”

Jeri appreciated the time Dr. Paul A.
Tavakolian took to ease her apprehension about surgery and rehabilitation.
“He displayed true concern for me, took time to really listen and thoroughly
explained my procedure prior to surgery. Dr. T is a true
professional.”

Katherine had several coworkers
wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sara E. Suttle. Then, she found out why. “Dr.
Suttle is the perfect combination of knowledge and compassion. She always has
a smile and time to answer my questions.”

Reagen found Dr. Elliott N. Wityk patient,
kind, and professional. “I never felt rushed through my appointment. Dr.
Wityk is thorough and resolved my problem with surgery. My aftercare was
equally well executed. I wish he could be my everything
doctor.”

recently welcomed Elliott N. Wityk, DPM, AACFAS who brings with him
experience in foot and ankle trauma, sporting injuries, and diabetic limb

Conservative Care

Although each of the doctors is a highly
skilled, trained, and experienced physician, for them surgery is always the
last resort, after all other viable treatment options have been exhausted.
Whether you’re suffering with a tear in your rotator cuff, an overstretched
Achilles tendon, or repeated ankle sprains, these doctors will show you ways
to rest, support the injury, control pain, and consider other treatment
options such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to strengthen and speed
healing before they recommend proceeding with surgery. Along the way, they’ll
talk to you about what they’re recommending and why in order to address any
questions or concerns you may have.
