Dr. Pokorney is only I will allow to work on my knee. He's a wonderful doctor and great bedside manner.
Dr Pokorney and his staff has done an excellent job of responding to a total knee replacement that was postponed due to a very large custom replacement needs to be used and is not available. Dr and his staff scheduled an office visit that occurred within three hours of the news of the delay. In addition, the CT scan occurs about 24 hours later, which will allow the supplier to build the replacement knee. The surgery is scheduled also which means only a four week delay, which is much better than I expected. Dr Pokorney and his staff have delivered the same excellent level of service I have come to expect and have experienced at ORA.
Dr. Ryan Pokorney is fantastic and his staff is wonderful.
I had reverse right shoulder replacement Sept. 15th. Surgery went well and I am now finishing up therapy on my shoulder. My range of movement is improving and I am free of pain. Dr. Pokorney, his assistant Daniel and nurse Kirsten haven taken great care of me and any question I had was addressed quickly. I plan to have my left should replaced in June and I highly recommend Dr. Pokorney and his team.
I had a revision by Dr. Pokorney a year ago, and it went very well... Now I am contemplating the other knee for replacement. He is a good listener and answers my questions with patience. It is nice to have a doctor that is not rushing out the door as you ask questions. I definitely recommend him!
I went for my knee, sent me for an MRI, they took great care of my knee. Very nice nurses. Dr. Pokorney, he has great 'bed side' manners. Explained everything. I would highly recommend ORA and Dr. Pokorney!
My appointment was prompt and professional. I had hip replacement surgery and have recovered very well. I would recommend Dr. Pokorney to family or friends.
Dr. Porkorney, always listens to me and gives me me the advice he thinks is best. IfI have a question or concern about a problem I am having in his field he will address it.
All around great experience. Had a total shoulder replacement surgery and i am doing great. Highly recommended.
I Always leave feeling really good about the care that I've received, and confident that Dr. Pokorney and his staff are the best!
Had Right Knee Total Revision. Had first right knee replacement at VA in Iowa City. Lived in Pain and walked with limp for 4 years before visiting Dr. Pokorney. Very glad I did. Fantastic results !

Kind providers. Good care.
It was a pleasure to do business with ORA!

Great Dr. With excellent beside manners. Always takes time to talk to you and explain things wirhout Being in a rush. I have been a patient of his since 2016. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Jeff Gilmour
I followed Dr Pokorney from his previous office because he is so awesome. He gave me cortisone treatments for 2 years and then he did 2 total knee replacements within 2 months for me. My favorite thing about the Dr. is his honesty...I never feel like he is pushing an agenda or not giving it to me straight. He also is uber professional, personable and extremely capable. I trusted him completely to do my surgery. If you need a great DO, look no further...Dr. Pokorney is the best.
DR POKORNEY IS AN AMAZING SURGEON HE DID A TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT ON MY RIGHT KNEE WHEN NO OTHER DOCTOR WOULD HELP, HE ALLOWED ME TO GET SOMEWHAT OF MY LIFE BACK, I AM VERY BUSY IN THE COMMUNITY AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET AROUND WITHOUT HIS TALENT AND HIS AWESOME STAFF THIS WOULD NOT OF HAPPENED. CURRENTLY HE IS MAINTAINING MY LEFT KNEE I KNOW TOTAL KNEE IS AROUND THE CORNER BUT AS LONG AS THE CORTIZONE SHOTS HELP THAT IS THE PLAN. ORA HAS A FRIENDLY STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE.
E,xcellent, courteous Service
Dr. Pokorney and his staff were very professional and awesome. My scar from my hip replacement is minimal. I will definitely use him again when my other hip or any other joint needs new parts.
Such a great guy friendly and his nurses are the best they are all great
Every appointment and phone calls goes excellent. Dr. Pokorney listen and he address every concern and my knee surgeries went excellent.
He made me feel like he cared for me, and I thought he was very efficient
I was walking with a walker and in extreme pain. I had a hip replacement on November 29,2017. I owe my successful surgery and recovery to Dr. Pokorney. It is a little late for a review but I want everyone to know--he is the best!! It took awhile for him to convince me that I needed the surgery but he was always patient and kind. Also, he explains everything in a way that you do understand. Let me repeat--he is the best!!!
Dr.Pokorney He takes very good care of his patients very respectful caring always have an open ear suggestions. I'm slowly getting back on track I had a total right knee replacements March 17, 2020 And I also had a manipulation of the right knee may 17, 2020 It's been a long road But I'm starting to see results at the end of the tunnel. I highly recommend him wonderful orthopedic doctor?????????
Wonderful! Very nice bedside manner. My procedure was explained to me in great detail.
Dr. Pokorney did an excellent job with my partial knee replacement
Dr. Pokorney did a wonderful job listening to my needs of having surgery on my left knee. I had a partial knee replacement done on June 3rd, and he performed the surgery. He explained what he was going to do, and at follow up after surgery, he explained that he did what was planned. I will continue to use Dr. Pokorney for my problems with my knees. Thank you Dr. Pokorney
Dr. Pokorney performed a miracle on my leg! I am now walking without a cane or walker, dancing & riding my bike again. I didnβt believe this could ever happen, and I am beyond grateful to him. My experience with the entire staff was amazing, they are so kind & professional. Thank you so much for everything you did for me Dr. Pokorney. π
My knee replacement surgery done by Dr. Porkorney was a complete success leaving little scarring and allowed me to walk from the hospital after only one day after the surgery using a walker. Joel Ingram was my physical therapy doctor whose exercises have strengthened my leg so that I am able to walk around my home without aid and can walk distances outside with a cane a month after surgery. ORA provides excellent professional, friendly service. I was glad I chose them to do my surgery and provide after-care. Jon Grate
Dr. Ryan Pokorney and his team are awesome!

I love Dr Pokorney and his staff. I was in and out within 30 minutes.
We always have a satisfactory office visit with all our concerns addressed.
I came into the emergency room after a fall at work in which I broke my left femoral bone. Dr. Pokorney was the Orthopedic Dr on call he was very compassionate and caring he came and told me the news about needing a total left hip replacement he did the surgery the next day I was in the hospital for the next five days he saw me every day. Also right after the surgery he called my family and let them know how the surgery went. He is a very kind and compassionate Dr. I highly recommend him for any Orthopedic needs. Thank you Dr Pokorney
Saw the PA today. Great knowledge and information to my questions and concerns. Love Dr Pokorney and his team!
I had a reverse shoulder replacement a couple years ago by Dr Pokorney and everything went great. Now I need a knee replacement, i am naturally returning to the surgeon I like and trust!
Was very pleased that Dr. Pokorney was a great listener and explained what he thought my problem was. Then he proceeded to order some tests and x-rays to verify.

Dr Pokorney was able to diagnose my pain right away and is providing initial treatment while I go through an MRI and follow up appointments.
Dr. Povorky and his staff Kristin were very professional and explained my conditions in a simple language so I could comprehend. Dr. Povorky took his time with me until Iβm done with all my questions, Very grateful for the good care.
Dr Prokorney has an excellent bedside manner and is a great surgeon. I'm very pleased with my hip replacement!
My visit with Dr. Pokorney and Daniel was for cosine injection for my shoulders and to set up a time to replace my right shoulder in June. I have every confidence in Dr.Pokorney for a successful surgery experience.
I've been to many doctors over the years I had a fall in the night and ended out in the emergency room where Dr. Pokorny was on call It was accidental that he was my doctor and I feel very grateful that he was. He's the best orthopedic doctor that I've had. Very kind he listened, based his decisions and diagnosis on me and my needs rather than on just a standard of care and I really appreciated that. Took all of my needs into consideration. A lot of times it seems like doctors get caught up especially in a fast moving emergency situation general idea of what is needed but Dr. Pokorny didn't do that he did look at MY history and based what I needed on MY history and I'm very grateful for that. I have a lot of respect for him. When I went back for my follow-up he showed me my x-rays no other doctors done that with me before. He showed me what my injury looked like before and after. I highly recommend Dr Pokorny!!
after an accident at home I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Pokorny in the emergency room as he was the on-call surgeon for Ora. Wonderful surgeon, he listens, brings you in as part of your own team. Answers questions, treated me like I was a person. Much, much, much respect for Dr Pokorny. Would recommend to anyone!?
Dr Pokorney is professional, knowledgeable, kind and thorough. He takes his time to show you xrays, explain them to you and then helps get you out of pain. Iβm so glad to have been referred to him by my family doctor.
Dr Pokorney is the kind of orthopedic doctor i have been looking for. He is someone who takes the time to show you your xrays and goes over them thoroughly. I appreciated that so much. Seeing helps a patient understand their condition. Then he goes over options moving forward. He has helped me get my pain under control and i am so grateful for that. Also, Daniel, his PA is great too! They make a great team.
I've had 2 other surgeries and have to say that Dr Porkorney is by far the best I've seen in all manners. Professionalism to beside manner. I am thrilled to be out of pain and be enjoying my new hip.

I have now had two major surgeries provided by Dr. Pokorney. I am very pleased with not only Dr. Pokorney but his staff and all staff at ORA are outstanding people.
I had xrays on my back and hip. Dr. Myles came in and took his time on getting to know me and then he explained what needs to be done. Very caring doctor!
Had a shot in left shoulder.
Dr. Pokorney is very kind and truly cares about his patients and takes the the time to listen to your concerns. Dr. Dan βmy shot manβ is awesome!! Nurse Kersten is very helpful and always squeezes me in time of need!! I appreciate you all very much!!
Truly listened to my problem and gave me detailed information on my condition and options. I have felt so much better since treatment.
Fantastic experience. Easy to talk with and when asked questions about the upcoming total hip replacement surgery, Dr. Pokorney utilized visuals to answer questions on the what, when, where and how's. Also great bedside manners. I would totally recommend Dr. Pokorney for any type of joint surgery.
Dr. Pokorney was prompt, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He provided thorough explanations and I did not feel rushed.
When I got injured, I initially went to a hospital outside the area just due to closeness. Received very sub-par treatment. Followed up with ORA next day, and within a few hours I was admitted to hospital and in OR. I have received wonderful care from all aspects of the ORA departments. But got to give direct bravo to my surgeon and his team, Dr Pokorney. From the moment they gave me nerve block in OR till now, over month later, I have had little to no pain. He did excellent job putting my ankle back together and all continuing care to date. He also has wonderful bedside manner and explains things so you know what is going on.
My new left hip is working out quite well. Dr. Pokorney used the anterior procedure which has eased the recovery process. The ORA facility/staff on 53rd in Bettendorf is wonderfully equipped to handle handle the entire procedure from initial consultation, surgery, physical therapy, and follow ups. Business office meshed well with my insurance. If you have to fix a bum hip this is a good solution.
I have seen Dr. Pokorney and his assistant Daniel for over two years with my shoulder pain. I have always been treated quickly and all my question have addressed. I will have shoulder surgery in the next 6 months and I am confident for a good outcome.
I can't say how happy I am with Dr. Pokorney & his entire staff.. I went to him for a knee replacement. His office made every appt. I had to do ahead of the surgery. Never has rushed..taking time to answer all questions we would have. I am looking forward to having him do my other knee.
Very caring and easy going! Glad i went to ORA Orthopedics.
Concern for patients and effectiveness
ORA has a friendly staff. Awesome and very helpful nurses. And Dr. Ryan Pokorney is an awesome Dr. He got me in surgery asap. And got my recovery process going. I am very pleased with how they've handled my situation. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone who needs orthopedic care!

Awesome place to have check you out. And they did a good job on my surgery as well!
I love that I can always be seen at ORA without an appt. by using the walk-in clinic. I have always been given thorough, kind, and professional help from each staff member, nurses, techs, and doctors.
Dr. Pokorney did a total knee replacement on both my knees over the course of a year. He was great to work with, his staff are always knowledgeable and courteous. I recommend him without hesitation to anyway needing joint replacement.
Dr. Pokorney performed total knee replacement on both of my knees over a period of a year, and he and his staff are great to work with. Very highly recommended!
I have been a patient of Dr. Pokorney at orthopedic specialists. I wanted to continue with him when he moved to ORA. He is a wonderful orthopedic surgeon. I greatly appreciate his wonderful PA.too. I have always received excellent care from him & his staff.
This visit to ORA Orthopedics was my first and I was very impressed with your reception area and people. Also very impressed with the visiting rooms and the personnel. Dr. Pokorney is not only a fine surgeon, he is very personable and always a pleasure to see. As is Dan (I apologize, last name escapes me), but I believe it to be Garber. Mel Alloway
I had gone to Doctor Pokorney before he started at ORA. He had preformed two surgies on my right knee. I knew that when he transferred to ORA that I wanted to continue having him as my doctor. He is a very caring doctor, and does an excellent job.
Followed Dr. Ryan Porkorny fro OSA. Needed an apt - followUp . You got a great guy there !!!
Saw him when he was with Orthopedics Associates. Like him as a doctor when I first met him. So I moved when he did.
I don't think much about ORA but Dr Pokorney is the best in my opinion and I would 100% recommend him.
