I can’t say enough good things about Dr Munns. I was so fortunate that he was already at the hospital performing an emergency surgery on someone else when I came in with an open compound tib/fib fracture. I feel fortunate to be doing as well as I am at 6 weeks post op!

Dr Munns was especially kind to explain my X-ray and Cscan so I could picture the need for surgery SOOn. He was confident he could move a case back and put me in the surgical sched by a week after the accident. Great service by all the nurses and techs who assisted on the surgery at the new OR in the fantastic new surgery center, just off of I-80. Such a convenient location for local or rural patients. Thank you Dr. Munns et al!

Dr. Munns – Exceptional Orthopedic Care! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Munns and the outstanding care we received under their expertise. From the very first consultation in the ER (every parents worse nightmare not being able to help their child when they're hurt) it was clear that I was in the hands of a true professional—someone who not only has an exceptional depth of knowledge orthapedics but also genuinely cares about their patients. Dr. Munns took the time to carefully explain and walk us through every step of the treatment and surgical process. He made what could have been a very stressful experience feel manageable, and even empowering. Their calm, confident demeanor and compassionate approach helped ease my anxiety and gave me complete trust in their abilities. The entire staff, from the front desk to the casting techs (shout out to Perry & Al) mirrored Dr. Munns professionalism and warmth. It's rare to find a doctor who blends top-tier medical skill with such genuine kindness, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found that in Dr. Munns. Thank you for not only helping our son during this journey but for helping us by expressing kindness and compassion. That part isn't just apart of the job, it's apart of the amazing humans you all are! If you're looking for an orthopedic surgeon who is not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to patient care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Munns. They are truly one of the best in the field!
