very good care, explained my health issues very thoroughly that I could understand.

Excellent, Dr. RYAN and staff did a great job. I went in on Thursday and was walking much better on my knee by Saturday.

I was so pleased with the Doctor. He explained everything to me and gave me options at this time. I did get a cortisone shot and for it did not hurt. My knee is so much better. Thank you

Great results w/anterior approach hip replacement. Pokorney, his associates and staff accommodating and pleasant to work with.

Absolutely satisfied with my visit and my shoulder feels much better. I would recommend him to anyone!

I was referred to Dr Pokorney after developing a bad staph infection i encountered from knee replacement surgery. Dr Pokorney was on top of things at my first appointment. It was obvious that he had reviewed my records thoroughly. I felt comfortable and confident with him and his entire staff right from the first shake of the hand. Follow up care has been over 100%! Dr. Pokorney is thorough, attentive, caring, and takes time with you and explains things to you in easy to understand terms.

Dr. porkony was awesome. Helping me with care and answering questions.

I think Dr. P is a very nice knowledgeable man. Had a good visit. Had a shot. Got a little bit longer out of this knee

Dr. Pokorney did my knee replacement surgery. He explained what my knee condition was and let me make the decision regarding the surgery. His nurse, Kersten, was also very helpful, answering questions prior to and following the surgery. Dr. Barger worked with Dr. Pokorney during surgery and was personable and informative in the followup appointment.

Dr. Pokorney fixed me when I broke my leg in just about the worst place I could. Then when I returned to him (he had changed orth groups) for a second opinion on a problem his original group was not addressing, I knew right off I could trust him and his staff to take good care of me. And so they have. He is professional yet also very likable and down to earth. I'm also very happy with the physical therapy I had at ORA. I'm doing much better now and am thankful for him and everyone at ORA that has helped me.

did your call in my prescription for tramadol 50mg? my pharmacy, walgreens north, clinton, ia. walgreens haven't called me yet thank you. pharmacy called.

My experiences with Dr. Pokorney and Dr. Dan have always been very. Professional and wonderful. I am very satisfied. I Wouldn't want anyone else. I pass the good word every chance I get. So happy. Thank you.

Dr. Pokorney is knowledgeable, approachable, and I would highly recommend! He does not push surgery if he feels there are other alternatives. I also find his PA, Daniel, to be very good.

Dr. Ryan Pokorney is a skillful compassionate caring surgeon. I’ve recommended him to quite a few people. When I have any questions or concerns, his staff responds quickly. I appreciate him being my doctor.

Really good doctor I don't often give references but I would refer anybody that need help needs a doctor that will listen and need someone that will pay attention and not write you off he's a really good person to see and go to when you're in any type of pain when if I could give him 10 Stars I would and it's really hard for me to give anybody any type of review and I have no problem with taking time out of my day to give him a great review the whole office is friendly understanding cooperative patient and you don't see that often I didn't see not an attitude in that building I would refer anyone to go to this practice especially if you're in pain and you need help

Very happy with Dr. Pokorney after my total knee replacement. He is a wonderful doctor with a great bedside manner. Dan his P.A. is also wonderful as well.

Dr Pokorney was the doctor on call the day I fell and shattered my patella. I feel so fortunate that he was the one treating me that day. Since then I have had 2 additional surgeries and have been under his care for nearly 3 years. My family wasn’t always so easy to deal with but Dr P was patient and kind with them. I would highly recommend him

Always get the best treatment at ORA. Dr Porkorney is so gentle with his exams and treatment.

I absolutely love Dr P!! He's really kind, explains everything to you in detail but without making you feel dumb. He takes time to answer all of your questions, and you can tell he cares for his patience! My only gripe has nothing to do with him and his care it's the issues with getting my PT orders w/out having to drive all the way there. The staff is nice but it could be much easier to get my orders. I wish they could upload them to the patient portal. Or email them. It's just a pain as I don't live in Iowa. The faxes don't go through to the hospital so every 4-6 weeks I have no choice but to drive to the location and pick them up. Again not DR's fault but thought I would mention it. Maybe we can make this easier? Please ?? Bottom line I recommend everyone that needs Ortho services to Dr. Pokorney he's awesome ??

I just can't say how fantastic these people are. Beautiful people great service. Definitely a 10....

Dr. Pokorney did my hip replacement and he and his staff were and continue to be fantastic! PA Dan is very knowledgeable with great bedside manner. I highly recommend ORA for any orthopedic needs.

Dr Pokorney is a highly skilled orthopedic surgeon with great bedside manner

Staff is very professional. Dr. Pokorney takes the time to listen to his patients which I really appreciate.

The staff everything at Dr. Pokorney Was very pleasant during my last visit. The doctor was very helpful and understanding.

Very professional and caring for the patient needs!

It was great experience! I was taken care of and given good food.

I feel so fortunate to have Dr Pokorney taking care of me with all the osteoarthritis i have. He has replaced a knee, shoulder and in a couple of months going to replace the other shoulder. I appreciate his thorough explanation of x-rays, surgeries, the recovery process and any thing else i am concerned about. It puts me at ease to go through all of this when i know i am in such good hands of a great surgeon! Thank you, Dr Pokorney and your staff for all you do!

Dr Pokorney and his staff were knowledgeable, prompt, professional, informative, caring and compassionate when I had problems with my ankle. I felt like all of my questions were answered and my time and schedule were valued and accommodated! I would not hesitate to go see him again for any future ortho needs and would highly recommend his services to others.

My wife had amazing outcomes had both of her hips done. Dr pokorney is am outstanding physician and a wonderful man. I am going to have both of my knees done soon and we have total confidence we will have great outcomes again!

Dr. Pokorney and his staff are quick,kind and very efficient. Everything went perfect with my hip replacement:)! I feel like he gave me my life back. My hip and leg feel the best they have in 5 years. It's a miracle to me!

Very professional, is down to earth, not aloof, extremely good at explaining operation, recovery, etc. Just feel like your in great hands when you are visiting him!

Dr. Pokorney took plenty of time to explain to me the complexity of the issue that I had. He repeatedly asked if I had questions and encouraged me to call his office if i came up with any other questions.

Dr Pokorney was very personable. He answered all my questions and did not make me feel stupid. My knee surgery turned out well.

I have been a patient of Dr Pokorney’s for the last 2 1/2 years. He is always listening and caring and patient.

Dr. Pokorney and his staff are amazing. They take the time to listen and explain your situation.

Very informative of my options and how to move forward with my knee pain. Excellent bed side manner which is hard to find these days! Would highly recommend him!

Very informative and professional. The staff that I had contact with were personable and helpful.

staff made me feel at ease. I was able to get in quickly. Everyone was very friendly.

Very caring for patients needs and very thorough

Dr. Pokorney was very personable and helped me relax before my hip replacement. He also helped reassure me after that procedure that I was progressing okay. He always answered all of my questions and gave me advice on how to improve.

ORA doctors and nurses are very thorough and informative. I felt like I was going to be ok with my surgeries....so thankful for ORA....Thank you Dr. Pokorney...Dr. Rink....and Dr. Daniel.......🇺🇸

He and his staff are great

Very kind and caring. I was close to giving up on the medical field except my 2 doctors. People tend to judge a book by its cover without doing the research. Not at ORA, they did what 2 rehmetologist just brushed off. Honestly ORA saved my life, they had me get a ultrasound on my knee and found a blood clot behind my knee. A miracle that God guided.

My husband was in so much pain in his kness and Dr pokorney was wonderful and help him immensely! Would recommend him to everyone.

The care and kindness I received from Dr Pokorney was amazing!!! One of the best experiences I have ever had with a Doctor!!! I would recommend him everytime!!!

My surgery, a total left hip replacement went very well. Caring staff that takes the time to answer all your questions. Would highly recommend Dr. Pokorney!!!!

I felt very safe with Dr. Pokorney and all of the ORA staff. Every step was explained very thoroughly. My recovery and PT went well. 10 weeks later I was hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

He provided me with a right knee revision surgery and a left hip replacement. I recovered very well from both of these surgeries. His work is proficient, he is personable and takes excellent care of his patients. I have recommended him to friends and family.

Dr Pokorney! He is the best. I have had many issues the last 2 years but he hasn’t given up on me and has continued to solve the problems. He listens, he’s kind and he’s been patient with me

It’s so good to have a hip that works and not be concerned about how far I can walk! Dr. Pokorney was informative and attentive. The whole process of scheduling surgery and understanding what I needed to know worked like clockwork thanks to his office personnel, the staff at Crow Valley Surgery Center and Rock Valley physical therapists. At almost eight weeks out, I couldn’t be more delighted with the experience and results.

I have had the best care possible since my injury. Everyone from recipient's help the first day, to having my camboot adjusted. They listened to my concerns and made me feel at ease. Dr. Pokorney explained my fractures and showed me the exrays that were taken. He has me doing physical therapy now, and will probably release me on my follow up visit.

Receptionist and medical staff treated my client very well

Very kind, friendly and knowledgeable!!!

Dr Pokorney is the best knee doctor! Because he was up front and honest about the condition of my knee I chose to have replacement surgery. It was a great success and I know this summer will be much better than last year. I couldn't hardly do walking or bike riding. This summer is already starting out pain free!

Dr. Pokorney and his team at ORA have done a fantastic job of providing care. They continue to work with me and provide solutions that fit my needs.

Fast and efficient and very helpful

Just saw Dr. Pakorny‘s PA, I think his name is Dr. Barker and he was great! Had a shot in my left hip and an injection into the left hip joint. Just a little uncomfortable but not painful. I thought he was very kind and understanding and sought to the needs that I had on how to be positioned for the injection. I have a titanium back and they worked with me to get comfortable so that I could have my injection. Awesome staff so kind and friendly. So nice to go and not have to dread the appointment because I know it will go well. That is a big plus when you’re in pain. Great doctors!

Dr. Pokorney is one of the best! He explains every facet of treatment, possible side effects, and other forms of treatment. His team is also very knowledgeable and accessible.

I had total knee replacement surgery. Dr.Pokorney and his assistant Daniel gave me the best care and guided me through all aspects of recovery. I am 80 years old. I am resuming my daily exercises, and ballroom dancing with my husband. I am truely grateful for the personal and professional care I was afforded. I recommend them highly.

Dr. Pokorney and his staff treated me with respect and concern for my pain. After my visits with Dr. Pokorney, my quality of life improved. Thank you

Explains condition so that we can understand. Compassionate and excellent doctor.

Great experience with Dr. Ryan Pokorney, DO. He took care of my surgery and was very confident in what he was doing and he is overall a great person/doctor. Thank you for your help.

Dr Pokorney and his staff at ORA are amazing. They exhibit caring and make sure all my questions are answered. I highly recommend!

I had to wait awhile tho when the Dr came in he was very pleasant & spoke to me where I’d understand. He answered my questions the same way. I would recommend him.

Great staff. Dr Pokorney’s team is the best. Listen and explain options very well.

i recommend Dr.. Pokorney. Very caring! Not a long wait time! Everyone very nice! I was pleased with my care and had a good experience receiving an injection in my knee! Not as painful as I thought it would be!

Thank you so much for such good care doctor Porkorney. You were so easy to talk with, and so kind, and compassionate. Your knowledge and willingness to listen to my questions is a quality not seen in every one. You left no stone unturned when it came to all my health issues, and gave me hope for relief from my pain when and if it returns. I’m grateful to have you for my doctor and your wonderful team as well.

Dr. Pokorny and his Staff

Hip surgery went great! No problems at all. Recovery was quick.

I receive excellent care at Dr Porkorney office. I have been going to him for several years I have problems with my knees and my hip I receive cortisone shots which help tremendously. I recommend him & Dan his PA

Dr Pokorney was very helpful at explaining everything, gave me options ND choices prior to my knee surgery. I had my 1st done 7 years ago by someone else, and the replacement with Dr Pokorney was much smoother ND quicker recovery time. Highly recommend ORA

He did a great job, very professional and listens to his patients.

good quality care from the doctors I've had and they want to make sure they help fix the problem.

Dr Pokorney replaced both my hips by direct anterior total hip replacement surgery. I believe you could not find a better doctor anywhere! Excellent skill and knowledge! I am very pleased with my surgery outcome and would definitely recommend him to anyone!

I have been a patient of ORA for over a year for my left knee problem. Dr. Pokorney and his staff have been kind, attentive, informative, and caring. My questions were answered and concerns put to rest. I am highly satisfied with my personal care and will continue using their clinic in the future. Sandra Hartman

Dr Pokorney was a great help for my mom. Very polite and too the point.

Dr Pokorney is wonderful. Recommend him for hips!

Hip surgery went well I am pleased with the results and very little pain. Anticipating having Ryan do my shoulder surgery

Our visit with doctor and ORA was great. My daughter is almost back to feeling like a normal kid with running and playing. As with anything it will take time. She received excellent care and great ingormation on how to move on from her injury.

Dr. Pokorney did an excellent job straightening my leg, after another Dr at another place messed it up my knee replacement.

Very pleasant & informative. Has never mad me feel rushed at all!

Robotic LTKR on 6/22. Very good success by Dr. Porkorney and his staff at ORA for this surgery! I’m 2 months post surgery and walking without assist, as well as having good healing and movement. Have full confidence in Dr. P and will be scheduling my right knee in the future without any reservations or concern. Marilyn Spangler

I had two xrays done on my shoulders and Dr Pokorney was so good in showing and explaining to me what i was dealing with. I think that is so important as a patient to be able to see and understand where the osteoarthritis is and what it is doing to the joint. Then explaining how he will preform the surgery and answering any questions i had was so reassuring. His PA Daniel is always so kind, professional and considerate. Kersten is so helpful with getting all the details of surgery together. I feel like i am in good hands as a patient of Dr Pokorney!

Dr. Pokorkey replaced both of my hips in 2018. He did a fantastic job explaining the procedure. As well as treatment both pre and post surgery. I would recommend him to anyone considering hip surgery.

I am super happy that I had Dr. Pokorney for my hip replacement. He is a skilled surgeon and a very friendly and compassionate person. I would highly recommend him.

Professional and courteous care!

Dr. Pokorney is a very caring thoughtful provider. He explains thing in an understandable way and is also open to suggestions to alternative treatments.

Great experience, friendly staff and amazing Doctors! Ryan Pokorney was great, friendly and understanding. Highly recommend!

They are very professional and give all details of the surgery.

Doctor Pokorney did a great job on my collarbone surgery Thanks

Dr. Pokornry took the time to show me my X-rays and explain my treatment options for a femur fracture around my hip prosthetic stem. I trust his judgment in going the conservative route and avoid surgery.

I saw Dr. Pokorney twice in January 2021 as I was evaluating Orthopedic Surgeons for a Total Hip Replacement. I came prepared with a number of questions written out. He was patient and not hurried in answering them. His Nurse, Kersten, then scheduled me for a mid-March surgery. The day after my surgery Dr. Pokorney came into my hospital room around 6am, checked my leg and then sat down next to the bed and spoke with me for a few minutes. At my 2 week, 6 week and 3 month F/U appointments I once again came prepared with questions regarding my recovery and precautions I would need to take. And again Dr. Pokorney took the time to answer them and did not appear hurried. Now at 14 weeks post-op I am doing great. I am again enjoying walking, gardening and cycling. I was also impressed with all the written materials ORA provided me before the surgery. They set up all the appointments I would need with various medical facilities. ORA provided me written documentation of these appoin

Dr Pokorney was very nice, he listened to my ?s & concerns & gave me an answer in plain English & not "Dr talk"

I went to ORA on Northwest Blvd.I have been going to him for several years. I saw him when he was at Orhopedic surgical associates & when he left I followed him to ORA. I have been seeing him for my knees & have been getting cortisone shots . I also saw him for severe bursitis in my right hip. He is wonderful & I also like Dan his Pa.

Dr. Pokorney did my partial knee replacement last year.

Dr. Pokorney, did my partial knee replacement, when my other ORA Dr. wouldn't cause of my age. It has been 1 year since my surgery and I am glad he did it.

Seen @ ER following sudden & severe back pain, referred to Dr Porkorney & ORA, where he & staff were great. Following xrays confirmed spinal compression fractures, Dr explained condition & treatment options: was placed in a fx vest for support & to help reduce pain, then started physical therapy for several weeks to strengthen back & hip muscle.which also helped relieve pain. Would recommend Dr & staff for any orthopedic problems. All take the time to explain & seem genuinely concerned about helping patient's return to better health.

this hip surgery gave me my life back .I have gotten my 1an1/2back to left leg an no longer have to wear abig built up shoe I would prefer anyone to this doctor and his team to anyone THANK YOUR

I’d give Ryan 10 stars if it was possible I was amazed at how the recovery went so easy

Dr.Porkoney and all the staff was friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend them all.

Dr. Pokorney is one of the best! He explains every facet of treatment, possible side effects, and other forms of treatment. His team is also very knowledgeable and accessible.

Thank you so much for such good care doctor Porkorney. You were so easy to talk with, and so kind, and compassionate. Your knowledge and willingness to listen to my questions is a quality not seen in every one. You left no stone unturned when it came to all my health issues, and gave me hope for relief from my pain when and if it returns. I’m grateful to have you for my doctor and your wonderful team as well.

Dr Pokorney was very helpful at explaining everything, gave me options ND choices prior to my knee surgery. I had my 1st done 7 years ago by someone else, and the replacement with Dr Pokorney was much smoother ND quicker recovery time. Highly recommend ORA

I had two xrays done on my shoulders and Dr Pokorney was so good in showing and explaining to me what i was dealing with. I think that is so important as a patient to be able to see and understand where the osteoarthritis is and what it is doing to the joint. Then explaining how he will preform the surgery and answering any questions i had was so reassuring. His PA Daniel is always so kind, professional and considerate. Kersten is so helpful with getting all the details of surgery together. I feel like i am in good hands as a patient of Dr Pokorney!

Dr. Pokorkey replaced both of my hips in 2018. He did a fantastic job explaining the procedure. As well as treatment both pre and post surgery. I would recommend him to anyone considering hip surgery.

Dr. Pokornry took the time to show me my X-rays and explain my treatment options for a femur fracture around my hip prosthetic stem. I trust his judgment in going the conservative route and avoid surgery.

I saw Dr. Pokorney twice in January 2021 as I was evaluating Orthopedic Surgeons for a Total Hip Replacement. I came prepared with a number of questions written out. He was patient and not hurried in answering them. His Nurse, Kersten, then scheduled me for a mid-March surgery. The day after my surgery Dr. Pokorney came into my hospital room around 6am, checked my leg and then sat down next to the bed and spoke with me for a few minutes. At my 2 week, 6 week and 3 month F/U appointments I once again came prepared with questions regarding my recovery and precautions I would need to take. And again Dr. Pokorney took the time to answer them and did not appear hurried. Now at 14 weeks post-op I am doing great. I am again enjoying walking, gardening and cycling. I was also impressed with all the written materials ORA provided me before the surgery. They set up all the appointments I would need with various medical facilities. ORA provided me written documentation of these appoin

I went to ORA on Northwest Blvd.I have been going to him for several years. I saw him when he was at Orhopedic surgical associates & when he left I followed him to ORA. I have been seeing him for my knees & have been getting cortisone shots . I also saw him for severe bursitis in my right hip. He is wonderful & I also like Dan his Pa.

Dr. Pokorney, did my partial knee replacement, when my other ORA Dr. wouldn't cause of my age. It has been 1 year since my surgery and I am glad he did it.

Seen @ ER following sudden & severe back pain, referred to Dr Porkorney & ORA, where he & staff were great. Following xrays confirmed spinal compression fractures, Dr explained condition & treatment options: was placed in a fx vest for support & to help reduce pain, then started physical therapy for several weeks to strengthen back & hip muscle.which also helped relieve pain. Would recommend Dr & staff for any orthopedic problems. All take the time to explain & seem genuinely concerned about helping patient's return to better health.
