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 anytShow morehing 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.

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.

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

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.
