Patient Reviews
"Dr Soto is so professional and caring. He takes time to ask questions and explains the procedure in layman's terms. During the surgery he lets you know what to expect and is so gentle and kind."
"I've been utilizing Dr. Burkland and his team for around 3 years. They are unparalled for their service, talent, team, and, most importantly, results. Truly the best. Ill never leave them. Dr. Burkland goes beyond the call."
"Excellent office an staff. Great service. Dr. Powers was very helpful in explaining my problem. He an the staff took excellent care of me. Feel luck to get such great care."
"I've been seeing Dr Soto for several years for back/ neck pain, and he is fantastic at finding ways to reduce pain. He has always listened to my concerns and made sure I was comfortable and not anxious. He and everyone at Northwest Orthopaedic have always treated me well; from the time I walk in, until the time I leave, I know I'm in great hands.
Thank you Dr Soto and all the wonderful people at NWOS!"
"Dr Burklund has been my long term pain management doc, I really appreciate the time he takes to to explain everything that's going on. This is my 2nd time doing RFA's under sedation with Dr Burklund. Being under sedation makes it so much easier to have 8 needles stuck in my low back. We used to do it with just a freezing spray, my muscles would be so tight he could barely get the needles through to where they needed to be. With sedation, and our long history, Dr Burklund knows exactly what I need. I highly recommend his services."
"Dr. Powers is very, very excellent at diagnosing and treating back pain. He’s fun to talk with and always greets patients with a smile. He listens well and will explain treatment options. I just really like and trust him. He’s been my back doc for over 8 years, and I’ve been so happy with my results!"
