Patient Reviews
Went prepare for a knee replacement and left not needing one yet. Came up with a new plan to try. The gentleman that gave me the shot was awesome. Never felt a thing! Glad I sought him out.
I enjoyed my visit with Dr Pokorney. He took the time to explain why I need surgery and some alternatives if I was not ready for surgery. He is not ruling out surgery, just giving me more time to get ready mentally and physically. I appreciated him telling me I was not mentally ready and wants me to feel comfortable having this procedure done!
First class care from a great doctor, PA, nurse and support staff!
It was a very good experience, I had a left knee revision replace a spacer and it went very well went for my 6 week follow up and was released would definitely recommend!!
Dr. Pokorney is one of my health care heroes. He did both my left then right hip replacement surgeries. I was 9 mm short in my left leg prior to my surgery. Following my left hip replacement surgery, Dr. Pokorney restored 6 mm of the 9 I was short. After he completed my right hip replacement surgery, I am now level, both legs now being equal lengths. I no longer have to wear any heel lifts in my shoes to level me. My chiropractor says this will help stabilize my spine and pelvis having both legs equal in length. Thank you Dr. Pokorney, you are my hero.
Received a hip injection
Dr. Pokorney is a very pleasant doctor to work with. He listens and answers questions. There aren't many of those around anymore. I have full trust that he will perform my surgery correctly.
Fast and friendly. Always professional and willing to help you out.
Dr. Pokorney is awesome. He doesn't mess around but knows what's wrong and treats it right away instead of messing around and prolonging your treatment. He's friendly and is very knowledgeable.
Ryan is knowledgeable and personable at the same time and left me feeling confident in a good outcome when I have my knee replaced in March
Had my right Hip replaced with Anterior approach and so very happy with the outcome! Dr Pokorney, his PA Dan, along with their office staff were wonderful. ORA Surgery Center and staff were excellent as well! Could not be more satisfied!
Dr Pokorney balances his professionalism and a personable, friendly nature. He listened and gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision. If the time comes when I need ORA services, Dr. Pokorney will be my choice.
The team is great and easy to work with. Dr. Pokorney explains things very well.
I saw his PA and he gave me my ankle shot and reviewed my X-rays. He was wonderful. Did not see Dr. Pokorney this time in.
He took time explaining my x-rays. I had clarity after leaving the appointment.
My experience at ORA for my recent hip replacement revision was outstanding. Dr. Pokorney explained in detail what was needed and what to expect after the surgery. Dr. Pokorney's confidence reduced my anxiety, and boy did his team deliver with outstanding care prior to surgery and following surgery. Immediately following surgery physical therapy began and I chose ORA Physical Therapy in Moline. David Carius served as my PT and my recovery went much faster than I expected. I feel truly blessed to have access to such amazing healthcare professionals.
I am a 45 year old with chronic pain, grinding and popping in my left knee. The ORA walk in clinic team ordered a MRI right away and scheduled me to see Dr Pokorney soon thereafter to go over results. In my two post MRI appts with Dr Pokorney he has thoroughly reviewed the images with me showing me where arthritis has worn away cartilage and the “defect” of bone on bone exists. For treatment he tried a more conservative route first which was a steroid injection. When, after three months, the injection failed to bring relief, Dr Pokorney confidently dictated that a partial knee replacement would be the best solution. I trust his expertise and bedside manner. I will be having that surgery later this fall.
I got an appointment fairly fast Dr Percony was efficient listened well to me and wea very kind and his team was the same.
Timely and thorough review of my knee pain issue. Explained my condition and path to near term remedy. Injection has been effective and less than a day later pain free. Wonderful exam table manner!
Dr. Was pleasant, professional, and friendly. Explained everything so I could understand.
I saw Dr Pokorney for a painful knee. He took time to really listen to what I had to say & made me feel like he truly cared about me. He asked a lot of questions & talked to me about the next step for me. He seemed knowledgeable & he has a great personality.
Definitely the best if not one of the best. Had him do my surgery 7 and 1/2 years ago and all of a sudden developed some discomfort so I chose to get his opinion. After films he came in and told me what was going on and treated me. Oh, I forgot to mention, they are awesome to their patients and even though I hadn't seen them for that period of time they still remembered me. My trust is with him 100%.
He is absolutely wonderful kind and compassionate! He took the time to explain my whole surgery and showed me images how it will look. I can’t highly recommend him enough! I’m so grateful
Dr. Pokorney was very professional and took the time to explain everything to me. I did not feel rushed in his office at all.
I couldn’t have been more pleased with the kindness, professionalism and quality of care.
Dr. Pokorney gave me great information and explained in great detail what I can expect from partial knee replacement surgery. We came up with a plan that we’ll revisit in a few months.
Great job on my knees replacement. I had almost no pain and no problems. Everything was very professional.
Prompt, efficient, open for questions and concerns. It was a steroid injection, with knee replacement pending. Dr. Pokorney and his team are top notch .

Dr. Pokorney was very knowledgeable and had a great bedside manner Iâm 72 yrs. Old and appreciative of his patience.
Wait time a bit excessive- motion sensitive light went out twice while I was waiting!
Dr. P showed me a picture of the screw in my foot. I was happy to see it. I wanted to see what the surgery entailed. He explained everything to me. He asked for questions. He was positive and friendly.
Doctor took the time to explain my injury and the ladies that put my cast on were awesome!?
On time good
Dr Pokorney read my history and listened to my concerns/pain in my right knee. Reviewed my X Rays and offered options. I received an injection and script for PT.
Dr Pokorney had X-rays taken and showed me them when he came in. He suggested a steroid injection and his PA Daniel Barger gave me the injection. My knee feels better for the moment.
Great Doc. Very friendly. Communicated in a manner I was able to understand the situation. He provided options and listened to my feedback. I am confident this will be a very positive process. Glad for a great medical team.

Absolutely the best, very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.
Had two cortisone shots for hip arthritis. Went well. I forgot to ask how soon I could lap swim in a pool. The nurse I called said right away. The google information said to wait a few days. I’m waiting.
Answered all questions. Reviewed procedure for surgery with a compassion for patient concerns. Was confident and reassuring I would do well. Surgery was on time. I was well cared for. Highly recommend Dr. Pokorney. Thank you for all you do. Lori B.
My visit was unexpectedly VERY quick. Everyone was friendly and knew what they were doing. Everyone worked so well together and it is all run like a well oiled machine. I came out knowing what my prognosis was and where we were headed next. I was in and out in no time which to me was very impressive. Especially with getting to X-rays, seeing the doctor to go over results, getting a shot. Thank you for your efficient professional service. Would highly recommend.
The wait was a little long but Dr Pokoney was great. He spent a lot of time listening to my concerns, I never felt rushed. His explanation were easy to understand. I think he was awsome.
Very friendly staff and very professional
Incredible surgeon with a friendly bedside manner. Recommended him to family and friends!
Dr. Pokorney explained everything concerning my condition completely. Answered my questions completely and performed my total knee replacement with consummate skill.
ORA is one of the best groups I have received care from. The doctors, nurses, PAs, and all the staff are super friendly and answer all my questions. They have a cheerful attitude and make me feel so comfortable! Doctor Pokorney and Dr. Shay are two of the very best doctors that. I have been lucky enough to perform my procedures. I will always be grateful for their fine work. They are personable, answer all my questions. And like the rest of the staff very cheerful. I am always a nervous patient and it shows itself in my need to talk too much. I appreciate their patience and their kindness and understanding. I would recommend any of the staff and physicians to anyone who needs this specialized care. Glad to have the opportunity to share my thoughts. Thanks!

The doctor and the staff are great. The only downfalls I had to wait an hour to be seen from my appointment
He is a doctor who takes the time with his patients. It meant everything everything to me when I stepped into a very busy ORA to have my time with him unhurried, relaxed and friendly while being professionally tuned in to my needs as a patient. Thankful I found him.
Dr Pokorney did my knee replacement surgery. He has good bed side manners, personality, informative & listens.
Both Dr Pokorney and Dan explained what is happening with my knee.
He is a nice guy and good doctor
Dr Pokorney did a revision on my knee replacement. He did a great job! It was a complete different experience from the first time another doctor did it. He listened to me and was very knowledgeable.
I saw Dr. Pokorney for the first time. A previous hip injection didn’t provide the kind of relief that I had hoped. He showed me my X-rays and gave me options after thoroughly explaining. I chose what I thought was best for me at this time. He took plenty of time with me and answered all questions. I highly recommend.
Dr Pokorney did my total hip replacement. He and his P. A. ,Dan, are the best doctors anyone could possibly have. They made me feel like I was a person and not just another case. I did and do feel very comfortable with their ability to help get you back to the place you want to be in your health journey. My hip feels wonderful. I would whole heartedly recommend Dr. Pokorney for anyone thinking about hip replacement surgery.
Wait time was 45 minutes past.my appointment time. Other than that the appointment was good.
Dr Ryan Pokorney D. O. Is an excellent doctor and surgeon! I was in a lot of pain and he took X-rays and looked at my previous tests. He told me that I needed surgery to fix my knee and I agreed. He did an excellent job and made the scar on my knee nice and thin which really made me very happy! He is one of the best orthopedic surgeons I have dealt with! He’s very knowledgeable, compassionate, considerate and explained everything to me in terms that I could understand! His PA Daniel is very knowledgeable and compassionate and answered all my questions. Dr Pokorney’s nurse is very helpful and nice too. I would definitely recommend Dr Pokorney and his staff to anyone that needs orthopedic care!
He was right to the point, showed me how the procedure (hip replacement) would be done. Explained that arthritis was the reason for my pain and stiffness

Dr.Pokorney was very professional and friendly. He took the time to answer all of my questions.
Dr. Pokorney replaced my knee, and I was totally in awe at how great a surgery he performed. I'm about 5 full weeks out from surgery and my knee is feeling wonderful. I also want to thank his NP Daniel for the checkup and the PT folks for getting me back to normal so quickly.
Dr. Pokorney was fantastic from day #1. I'm very grateful for his treatment and care. My final appointment was last Thursday. I'm only sorry I waited so long to check my situation out. I recommend Dr. Pokorney for any joint issues. Sincerely, Margaret Baker
Fantastic surgeon, great follow up, always takes the time to answer any questions one may have. If you need an Orthopedic Surgeon, Ryan is my recommendation, he is the best.
