Dr. Schuchart and all the staff were so understanding and patient with me and my circumstance. It took a lot of time to get me prepared for surgery and time to recover after surgery; and Dr. Schuchart was open and transparent throShow moreugh the whole process. Still a long way to go for my recovery and I'm extremely grateful that I have him and his whole staff in my corner helping me the whole way. From the receptionist to the nurses and the Dr. himself, they are very professional but treated me like I was a close friend.
Since we have lived in Alaska, he has been the most professional doctor that we have ever known here. My back surgery was done the best it could have been. I have even had other pain management specialist tell me that it was some Show moreof the best work that they have seen in a spinal area. I would recommend him and his staff over any other medical professionals in Alaska. I owe my mobility to him. I will forever be thankful to him.
Garret Schuchart, MD, is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic spine surgeon practicing at Pioneer Peak Orthopedics in Wasilla, Alaska. Fellowship-trained in spinal procedures from the skull to the pelvis, in May of 2026 became the first surgeon to preform lumbar disc replacement in the city of Wasilla.
Born and raised on a cattle ranch in south Texas, Dr. Schuchart’s education began at Hardin-Simmons University where he was a collegiate tight end on the football team while majoring in biology with a minor in biochemistry. He continued at Texas Tech University Health Science Center in Lubbock, Texas, for medical school. Dr. Schuchart completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at Baylor Scott and White Medical Center in Temple, Texas (ranked the number one major teaching hospital by Fortune/PINC in 2023), where he was well-trained in all fields of orthopedic surgery. He then pursued additional training with Sonoran Spine Research and Education Foundation in Tempe, Arizona, where he had broad exposure to the latest innovations in spine surgery, including robotic-assisted spine surgery, minimally invasive procedures, motion preservation surgeries, and complex deformity reconstruction. His fellowship gave him expertise in spinal procedures from the skull to the pelvis including anterior, lateral, and posterior approaches.
Dr. Schuchart’s wife, Kami, is also a native Texan, relocated to Wasilla in 2024. Married in 2014, they have three beautiful children. In their spare time, both Dr. Schuchart and his wife are avid hunters, hikers, skiers, and enjoy anything related to the outdoors. In the short time since moving to Alaska they have enjoyed joining and serving the Mat-Su Valley community.

he answer my question and gave me some thing to think about.
Dr. Schuchart Repaired my back last year, long surgery fusing the back and best recovery of all! Last issue is the neck, not much can be done unless the arm etc go numb, neck seems to be fusing on its own
Awesome, that how I would describe it. Dr. Schuchart and everyone from Pioneer Peak Orthopedic and the hospital staff worked Perfectly together and I was in and out in less that 24 hours. Great People All Around
Caring, understanding and clear. Plus not pushing unnecessary surgery. Exactly what I was hoping for in a spine surgeon.
I find the pre-visit phone check in service a little irritating, the Doctor was great in taking his time explaining to me the issues he discovered.
Dr. Schuchart is awesome! He was my 3rd back surgery and am amazed at the outcome results. He is very kind and caring, yet professional. He asks questions, looks you in the eye and gives honest answers to your questions, and kept me well informed. Pioneer Peak is the place to go!!
Very knowledgeable and answered all my questions prior to my surgery.
He was very informative, seem to care what my needs were.
Awesome person
Was intelligent, honest, and to the point.
What can I say but “Simply the Best!”
Excellent physician, the eight hour surgery on my old back (78 years old) fixed problems I have had for many years. I am now able to perform physical activities I was unable to do for a long time. I now enjoy doing activities at my church, grounds upkeep and construction, I have I have not done in years. My spouse has me doing much more work at home too. Thanks Doctor Schuchart for greatly improving my life.
Excellent care throughout my surgery and beyond.
I always feel heard and treated respectfully by all team members. Dr. Schuchart is a fantastic doctor, and I would recommend any of my family to see him if they needed surgery.

Can’t say enough good things about the quality of the care and the concern. The communication is top notch as well. Thank you so very much Pioneer Peak. My world was getting small and dark. But you looked for the problems and fixed me. without the constant pain, my world got bigger and brighter.
Quick and informative
Very thorough and a good bed side manner!
Actually listens to you and gives very good advice, highly recommend him.
Garrett Schuchart is a great surgeon. I just had lower back surgery and he did an amazing job. Please consider Dr Schuchart for any spinal issues you have. He is awesome.
Dr Schuchart is pleasant, knowledgeable and thorough. A refreshing change from previous provider.
He is a very nice doctor, who listens to your concerns and tells it like it is.
Very nice, listen’s to what you have to say, Takes time with you Thank you.

My prognosis is for surgery, however some less invasive procedures were recommended to try first to see if I get any relief first. I liked that very much.
Dr. Schuchart did such a great job. I had a hard time believing beforehand that I would be able to get up after the surgery with minimal pain, but right after the surgery sure enough I was able to get up and felt so good to be relatively pain-free I am so grateful. Just dealing with the incision but that was nothing compared to the pain that I had been in. Thank you Dr. Schuchart
Pleasant
This clinic leads with wisdom and care.
Explained everything clearly and honestly! Great “bedside manner”!
Excellent appointment
