"I saw David Baca, Dr. Reichard's assistant. He was attentive in listening, giving me time to discuss concerns and ask questions. I felt comfortable and left with a plan of continuing to improve my hip joint condition." — Barbara C.
"I saw David Baca, Dr. Reichard's PA. He was AWESOME and did a fantastic job giving me knee shots without any pain, and they were hurting really bad. I used to see Dr. Treloar, but since he's passed, and I've had such a good experience, I decided to go back to Northwest Orthopaedic Specialists. When I had serious back troubles last year, Dr. Dawley and his team got me out of pain and walking again. As far as I'm concerned they worked a miracle!" — Virginia E.
"I was seen by David Baca for hip/knee problems. This is the second visit with him for me. He was very thorough and explained everything to me in a way that I could understand." — Annetta F.
