PA Worden was very nice and explained the treatment plan and epidural procedure well. Front desk staff that was not helpful when I told them I could not sit and needed a place to place complete the intake forms. I found a smallShow more counter in a hallway but it was so akward I fell down. Someone eventually found a small room where I could lie down. There was also a lot of confusion between Alta and Pueblo Radiology re Pueblo’s need to review the spinal X-rays your off ice took. After many phone calls your office agreed to provide my X-rays husband for $10.00 but would not provide the X-rays directly to Pueblo. We brought the CD w/ X-rays to the Pueblo epidural appointment but they said it was too late and couldn’t use them. The epidural went fine but the radiologist only injected one area— not two areas as you directed. He relied ONLY on the MRI and refused to view or keep the X-ray CD from your office that we brought with us
Alta Orthopedics rocks! Everyone at Alta Orthopedic, from when you enter the door, get seated in your room, have xrays when needed, to when you leave are professional, considerate, knowledgeable and effcient. Upon arrival folksShow more in the front office always greet you and are ready to get you situated for your appointment.

I have been using Alta Orhtopedic for treating Osteoarthritis in my knees for 6 years and their quality treatment and knowledgeable expertise enables me to continue my active lifestyle managing my ranch, riding my horses, hiking and running agility with my dog! I am so very grateful to Michelle Meredith, Dr. Proctor and all the Alta Orthopedic Solvang staff! They are the best!
