Great-and nearly painless
I have a cist and a labral tear in my right shoulder. Physical therapy was a failure. Frazier came in and laid it out for me, I like direct people it’s important. Surgery is the only option, and my wait time isn’t that long.
My post op appointment went perfectly from check in, to having the staples removed, to the consult with Alec. Thanks for being so caring!

Kind with great communication
Always a pleasure! Frazier is a great asset!
Dr. Van Hofwegen’s superlative “bedside manner” matches his skills as an outstanding surgeon.
Everyone at pacific rim is amazing! Loved my experience there.
Excellent care, took time to explain things thoroughly and with great compassion!!
Dr. Thorpe and staff are professional and efficient. Scheduling is easy and checkin was great.
Very professional, answered all questions, spent lots of time. Great experience. Would highly recommend.
They are the most sweetest people in the world I love them to death I will recommend anyone to go to see them they’re the best and they’re good to you
Excellent physician, spent the time to discuss all aspects of the surgery. Couldn’t ask for a better group of doctors for
My Dr. Is excellent. Very good nursing staff and support staff. I highly recommend them.
Everyone a Pacific Rim Orthapedics is helpful and professional. I enjoy that they take ti.e to listen and enquire about your questions and concerns.
Alex is sharp, humorous and said a few things that literally changed the direction of my life/medical care. Brilliant man.
Office staff was pleasant and efficient. Dr. visit was quick and easy. Let the healing begin!!
Clinic follows health directive for our county, friendly, professional. Check in took a little longer than expected but I was a new patient.
Alex was very compassionate, very professional and has such a great attitude. Very Kind person.
Thank you for answering my questions.
On time. Listens. Cares. Effectively explains test results. Proactive in terms of future plans and actions to be taken as warranted. Highly recommend Dr.Van Hofwegan.
I realize we are in a pandemic. Really no answers from a hand specialist. Little to no guidance for relief or workup for my hands and wrist which have been swollen and painful for 2 months. I left there with a clear problem and no answers.
Dr. Gannon is a very kind, caring doctor. He is very professional and explains medical information very well to his patient. I would highly recommend him for an orthopedic surgeon.
Everyone has always been so genuinely caring and helpful here. Admin, nurses and Dr. Van Hofwegen, alike. I’ve entrusted them with my knees and would always recommend them.
Love these guys. Réception is so helpful and Dr. Thorpe is very thorough! Thanks for exceptional care!
The staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. Gannon is the best. My hip replacement was very smooth with great results.
This was the 3rd time I required surgery from Pacific Rim. The entire staff are exceptional and especially the doctors. I very much appreciate how well they communicate.
Dr Thorpe is great with patients answering the many questions I had before and after the surgery. Great guy and a fantastic surgeon!
Dr. Van Hofwegen is very thorough. He takes time and explains every question. He also makes you feel very comfortable and at ease.
Frozen rotator cuff, had previously recommended physical therapy, now told me that it will be a long term healing; he recommended against steroid injections because this procedure may harm underlying tissue and that injection was only for people who were in much greater pain.
I enjoyed the follow up and detailed answers to my questions. He took the time to explain it all thoroughly with me.
Surgeons and office staff are great. Scheduling, not so much. 45 minute wait for a 5 minute appointment is unacceptable.
Very good communication. The provider spent a lot of time with me discussing my options for the future.
Frazier Coe had my recommendation.
Jonatan Bates
I have been a patient of Dr. Gannon for many years now, for knee surgeries and a replacement, as well as other things. He and his nurse Diane give wonderful, professional, empathetic care.
In my search for an orthopedic surgeon I found Dr Gannon at Pacific Rim Orthopedic and his involving me in my decisions as to my care was so appreciated instead of just telling me what he decided my course of treatment to be. Highly recommend him and all the staff as they really do care!
All my experiences with the Pacfic Rim Orthopaedic Surgeons, PA, Nurses, and other staff has been extremely positive. I had a left knee replacement in 2010 with Dr. Gannon. Outstanding outcomes. I had full knee extension and full bending …
Reception bad attitude not nice get rid of her
We experienced efficiency, compassion, and competence as Physician Assistant Alex tended to bone fractures in the wrist.
Dr. Thorpe was great. He explained all my options and surgery procedure. I was well informed.
All the office people were funny and friendly.
They took care of me and got me back to work at a very fast rate, I am ever so grateful for Dr Haeder and his team.
Amazing doctors and amazing staff. Couldn’t have felt more comfortable and safe. We are lucky to have such great professionals in our community.
Dr. Alex was awesome! He was thorough, kind and has a great laugh too! Thank you !
Pac Rim Orthopedics is a very excellent medical provider
I have seen Dr. Gannon at this practice. He is excellent in his area of expertise. He is personable and takes time to talk with his patients to review the diagnosis and explain the options for treatment. I highly recommend Dr.Gannon.
Pacific Rim Orthpaedic Surgeons is synonymous with the medical joke – “quack in a box”. The office staff is rude and abrasive, and quite honestly the physicians are worse. Patient Concern is almost nonexistent, and your opinion, thoughts, …
I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Thorpe.
Extremely thorough and understanding. He explain to me why I was experiencing pain in my forearm and how to deal with this pain.
I have been seeing Dr Van Hofwegen for over 3 yrs and I absolutely love him and his office!! I’ve come along way since my first visit and I couldn’t have had better care and support!! Thank you!!
You are not a holistic patient at this office, you are just two joints at a time. I have a L hip replacement and R hip injury from a fall and a knee that has been compromised by a struggling gait. Apparently you are not allowed to talk to …
Alex is very knowledgeable and cares about his patients. I would definitely use pacific rim again because of him
She told me ice massage my wrist
I only had a chance to see Dr. Thorpe once, but that is a good thing! He is warm and friendly, efficient, incredibly knowledgeable and did not order a bunch of excess imaging or tests.
Always feel like I am the only patient at this office. Tested very well by all staff. Alex is Very personal and provides great attention to my needs. Thorough and knowledgeable.
Dr. Vanhofwegen is a very competent, to the point kind of guy. I’m almost 79 years old, and I plan to be around quite a while longer. He will play a part in that plan, as this old body continues to wear down. He will help to keep me young and energetic, with an eagerness to enjoy life.
Very informative and thorough. Lovely eyes.
My son went for years with an undiagnosed hip injury and had seen many doctors over that time. Dr. Michael Thorpe knew what it was after one visit and ordered an MRI. A review of the MRI showed exactly what he had thought and because of the …
Dr. Van Hofwegen actually took the time to explain to me what my x-ray reveiled, why I was experiencing pain, and how he could help me. Previous doctors I had visited for the same condition were not nearly as thorough, or in a layman’s opinion, as skillful in helping get me to a better quality of life.
I had a really good experience with Dr. Bergman at Pacific Rim, and highly recommend him to anyone. However, I am giving Pacific Rim a 3 star review because of what they charge for very basic splints there. If I knew what they would charge …
Dr Dahl was excellent. Answered and listened to all my questions. Very knowledgeable and patient. Great patient manner. Gave me alternatives to not having to do a surgery at this point and time. Thank you 🙂 …
Dr. VanHofweggen begins and ends every visit with a smile and a heartfelt hand shake. He takes his time to answer questions and listens to exactly what is said. He is my forever orthopedic, of course, hoping I don’t need him forever. I recommend him to everyone who needs a great bone-doctor. At my age, that is a group of many.
This facility needs to amp up their urgent care follow-up. My doctor’s office faxed over a referral for my painful and complex hip problem, which obviously requires replacement. I got everything taken care of the next day at another clinic. …
Dr Dahl is straight forward, competent, and kind. The level of care I received as a patient was second to none. I’m hoping not to brake more bones anytime soon, but if I do, I will definitely seek his care again.
Chris was super laid-back and I was put at ease every time I went in. He was quick, informative, and was on top of everything. In fact, everyone was awesome to work with, and they made me feel genuinely happy.
The patient name is wrong It is Jean Jilk and I am thoroughly pleasedwith the care I have received by both I have had no pain at all with my total hip replacementand I have not taken not one pain pill I have just followedDr Haeders postop MED protocol .bOTH THESE MEN ARE REMARKABLE AND i WOULD HIGHLYNRECOMMEND THEM.
The staff here is very nice . Doc Van is amazing!! Not only is he an excellent surgeon, he is very informative and explains every little detail and listens to your concerns. I would definitely go back to him if I had a different issue
Dr. Jason Dahl has been compassionate and thorough in explaining treatment and surgery options. Very professional while being caring and relatable. I have been very pleased with the outcome of my surgery.
Thank you Dr.Jason Dahl for the quick, calming surgery experience. Recovery for the dual Endoscopy Carpel Tunnel is going as nonInvasive and quick as you had described. It’s great to finally get sleep and being able to use my fingers right …
Dr Van Hofwegen was knowledgeable in diagnosing my unique injury. He explained my options in in an understandable and friendly manner. I could see that he cared about helping me return to being 100%. I had a list of questions before I arrived and Dr Van Hofwegen took the time to answer them all.
I appreciated the knowledgeable advice and thoughtful treatment.
I had my initial appointment with Dr Jasen Dahl and am impressed with his thoughtful approach. Instead of recommending surgery right away he suggested a more modest treatment course with surgery as more of a last resort. Very warm and personable, too.
Dr Gannon fixed my ACL tear back in 1999 and it is still super! I’m skiing, hiking, fat tire biking with no knee issues. He was informative and personable. Many Thanks!!
I had my first hip replacement nearly five years ago. Dr Thorpe and his team took such good care of me that when it was time to do the other one, I knew exactly where to go for care. So grateful. Soon to be pain free again!
Austen was very polite, professional and answered all my questions I had about my recovery. It was a pleasant experience
Alex is a wealth of knowledge, compassion and humor! I always feel better after visiting with Alex. He is a true healer.
It was so nice that the girls in the office would greet me by name (even before getting to the window) and they all cheered when I showed them the “release back to work form” Alex Tabayoyo PA-C had just given me! They all knew that I wanted …
Dr Bergman replaced my right hip joint 8 years ago. I think the highest praise I can give him is when my left hip joint needed replaced, I rushed to get it done before he retires. It was done on May 7th and I am doing great … thanks to …
First post op visit after bilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel and trigger finger release on one hand. An excellent experience in all respects. As a retired surgeon, I am very critical in all interactions with health care, and this entire experience with surgeon, staff, and facilities has been wonderful. Highly recommended.
Dr Gannon is an amazing orthopedic doctor. Easy to communicate with, explains everything fully, isn’t in a hurry to leave the room and is pretty much on time the 3 times I have been there. I’m glad to have chosen him for my doctor.
My initial impression was good, but follow-up was not completed; I am sad, disappointed, and frustrated…I had a fractured elbow that happened on 2/11/21, and what they thought was a re-broken scaphoid fracture. The CT scan revealed that …
I highly recommend Dr. Michael Thorpe. He performed surgery on my right shoulder for a rotator cuff tear. He’s professional, explaining everything and answering my questions in a clear, warm manner. He put me at ease right from the start. I knew I was in good hands.
I am so sick of dealing with the staff they are so inconsiderate. First they make it a hassle for me to get my paperwork done for my fmla to get paid because I cannot work with my injury. They made me pay to have them fill out paperwork and …
After 2 hip replacements this past year by Dr Chris VanHofwegen, I am singing his praise. He is very kind and caring and really listens. Because of his surgical expertise, I have been given a great gift…2 new and amazing “bionic” hips! …
Very professional and kind. She was great at helping me with my broken hand. She is kind and a good listner. I highly recommend her.
I’m a patient wanting to schedule a follow-up appointment for evaluating my knees and shoulders. My serious complaint is about the scheduler’s belingerant and demeaning tone. Two different schedulers explained that 4 different joints …
I can speak highly enough of my experience with PA Tabayoyon today. He was professional, positive, informative and a great listener. …
Austin, had a great balance of science, medical explantation and compassion.
Very pleasant help full friendly explained every thing to my understanding more than pleased with my visit
Every one is extremely professional. Kind caring information
I just turned 60 while on a cruise last month and during a sudden storm I ended up tearing my meniscus. Finally got into Pacific Rim. Felt in good hands going there since Dr. Gannon did a great job for my mothers hip and my mother in laws …
Austin was great at explaining the problem and validating my wrist pain experiences.
I have been treated many times at pacific rim
Everyone there is wonderful. Very friendly, and thorough Austen is fantastic
Dr. Gannon is so warm and pleasant. He made me feel instantly comfortable. Dr. Gannon was very patient listening to me and gave me feedback on everything I brought up. If I ever need to go back to Pacific Rim, I will definitely request to see him!
Dr. Alex is great to work with, very personable. We were very disappointed when Dr. Alex informed us that Wayne should not be performing any passive motions with that shoulder for at least six weeks… BUT our instruction sheet and verbal …
My positive experience is beyond words! What a blessing!
Alex is so awesome. He explained things again to me and gave me a shot, he kept checking to make sure I was ok while doing it. It hurt but we made it through and I think he’s great with a great personality. Thank you Alex…!!
Alex clearly explained the findings from an X-ray and the subsequent follow up we would take to determine how the healing process was progressing. I appreciated his upbeat attitude and straightforward responses to questions!
She was very thorough and explained everything that pertained to my situation. I was very happy with my care and highly recommended
I strongly recommend Pacific Rim Orthopaedic Surgeons for the highest quality care. I had full hip replacement surgery with Dr Gannon in December 2017 with excellent success and outcome. Dr Gannon is not only an excellent doctor and …
A very thorough assessment, giving ample time to discuss diagnosis and prognosis. This provider also gave the patient (5 y/o) an opportunity to ask/answer questions on her own. Overall, a very positive experience!
They were extremely nice and attentive with us, our doctor was Alex Tabayoyon. He was really kind and funny, he was understanding with my dad even though he is learning English and he was patient with me translating things to my dad, he …
Dr. Van Hofwegen is very knowledgeable and professional. I love his very kind & caring manner. He’s good at listening to the problem, addressing the options with his patient, and making good decisions to resolve the issue. I’ve had …
We love Dr Gannon! I took my 89 year old mother there and the entire office was so welcoming. He treated her so nicely. He talked just like she was his mother. And made so sure that we both understood everything. The staff (especially Diane) is great too.
Dr. Haeder – has great “bed side manners” professional. But has zero knowledge of processing federal OWCP paper or how to describe in detail what occurred physically to cause the injury. After 6 months, 4 attempts and 2 OWCP denials saying …
Dr. Gannon did a great job of helping me understand my options, prepare for surgery, know what to expect afterwards, and everything went smoothly throughout the surgery. The team at the surgery center did a great job of helping me feel calm …
I had 2 elbow surgeries the Summer of 2019. Dr .VanHofwegen was awesome. He was patient, caring and very thorough. He answered all mine and my husband’s questions in ways we could understand. I’m a visual learner and my husband’s a …
This was an initial visit to gather information about a swollen PIP joint: an excellent experience that provided the information I needed. Austen Epstein PA-C reviewed x-rays, assessed the problem and described a possible solution. I left feeling optimistic. Everyone at PPROS was kind, considerate and helpful.
Extremely professional. I am very happy that I came here. They were the first ones to believe me on the pain in my wrist not being normal. …

We had to take my 15 year old son in with a torn ligament and fractured thumb and she was great! Explained the injury and treatment in detail and what to expect in the future. Recommend 100%!!
Austen Epstein is so caring. She listened to everything I said and recommended a surgeon if the cortisone shot doesn’t work in my trigger finger.
This doctor’s office is one of the best doctor’s office I’ve ever been to in My Life not only did the receptionist which I feel so bad for not knowing her name right now but she knows who she is she’s awesome she wears a red face mask and …
Austin did a great job of explaining the procedure that I had gone through and what I was experiencing in my recovery, and what to expect going forward. She was patient and thorough in her explanation and I appreciate the time she took to answer all of my questions.
I have never been put more at ease. I recieved excellent treatment and even the shot was made quite effortless and I don’t like needles. Austin answered all questions and resolved all issues.This is a top notch facility. Thank you.
Great visit. He’s knowledgeable and explains things well. Went in for a shoulder cortisone
Shot and he nailed it. …
Great caring professional orthopedic care. My appointment today was the 2 week followup following total hip replacement surgery. Frazier Coe answered all my questions, showed me a model of the type of hip/socket implement they used for my surgery. I left the office feeling well cared for.
They are the best. Didn’t get injection due to too early and last one did not work. So we are talking knee replacement surgeru.
Dr. Austen Epstein was very caring, friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and listened to everything I had to share with her. She was very gentle when I needed shots in my wrist for tendinitis. I would highly recommend her and proliance pacific rim orthopedic surgeons.
Ariel provides excellent care. She is patient with questions, is always positive and listens to patient concerns
We were pleasant with the experience, it was polite and quick understanding, they were concerned in all areas of our health, making sure that all of our health concerns was pointed out
What a nice young man and Doctor. He is a gift to your practice. Do what ever you can to keep him there. You are very blessed by having him in your practice!!10 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
What a professional and kind experience I had with Ariel. She knew her stuff, was generous with her time and of course the important item, she was knowledgeable.
Alex was Wonderful and very good at explaining the details of my procedure. He made me laugh as well which helped my anxiety.
Ariel was very personable and professional. She helped to guide me through the next stage of recovery from my knee replacement. I highly recommend Ariel.
Austen was professional, knowledgeable, and very caring. After having my carpal tunnel release stitches removed, she made sure that everything was looking good, explained how to proceed with physical therapy, and what to watch for if CRPS should flare up and need attention. She deserves a five-star rating and a big thanks!
Was nice to not have to wait so long for once ! Frazier Coe PA was wonderful! Patient , communicated well with me and best of all gave me an injection for my achey knee!!
Ariel Turner and Dr Paul Haeder are excellent at treating and caring for their patients.
The front staff were also very accommodating.
Alex was great! He gave me a steroid shot in my right thumb joint and he nailed it! I will definitely see him again.
I saw Dr. Chris? for a knee injury that was a lot more severe than I thought going in. He delivered this overwhelming news in a fine way. Whatever. Business highlights say LGBtQ+ friendly. I really didn’t appreciate that when my mom filled out forms there wasn’t any option for non-binary people. I was called a girl multiple times.
Used to be great! Unsure if they are just struggling a bit lately or if it’s because they turned into Proliance… But showed up for appointment only to be told it was canceled without a phone call and then the second time it was over an hour wait past my appointment before the doctor showed up.
I’m not satisfied at all with my care by Dr. Hofwegen. I went in for a second opinion to a recommendation for a knee replacement by my previous orthopedic surgeon. I am happy that Dr. Hofwegan disregarded this recommendation and explained …
I have contacted this office 3 times now and NO communication back. I went to Dr Van Hofwegen last year because my Dr recommend him because my knee is in such bad shape. When I met with Dr Van Hofwegen he was extremely nice and told me to …
Frasier Coe was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. He made me feel very comfortable and did a thorough exam. Would be happy to see him again.
Ariel Turner, PA-C is an wonderful asset at Proliance. She was very direct at relying her concerns about me following doctor’s orders for a healthy recovery. …
Wonderful experience! Ariel was very knowledgeable and gave me a few new facts about the knee joint. I really appreciated it. She was gentle with the injection and overall very pleasant.
Very good experience with Austin and this practice. Austin explained my issue very clearly and provided 2 treatment options – explaining the pros and cons of each. Treated the problem immediately without the need for a return visit. Couldn’t be more impressed or pleased.
Dr Gannon is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had. Very kind, compassionate, a thorough communicator, and skilled surgeon. He did a brilliant job fixing my broken collar bone. I wish I could have him as my primary doctor!
Very thorough and informative on my post-OP visit.
