Oklahoma Orthopedic Institute

I have thoroughly enjoyed my short time so far being a patient with Dr. Ewing. I originally found him by researching online for doctors in Oklahoma that perform carpal tunnel surgery endoscopically. Although I had a surgery already booked with another doctor for the traditional method I felt like endoscopic surgery made more sense for me. Boy am I glad I did my homework! I am currently 2 weeks post surgery and feel great. My scars are minimal and I was able to use my hand immediately following surgery. So far I am very pleased with the results.
As far as my experience at Dr. Ewing’s office I don’t think it could get much better. When I initially called to inquire about surgery they were very thorough to answer my questions even though I wasn’t already a patient. Once I decided to schedule an appointment they were able to get me in as a new patient the NEXT day! I was so impressed. All of the new patient paperwork is available on their website so I was able to fill it out at home and minimize my wait time in the office. The office staff have been very friendly and pleasant to work with both in person and on the phone. I had some issues with my insurance and Melissa in the billing department went above and beyond to resolve the issue and communicate the resolution to me.
As far as my actual appointment, Dr. Ewing spent quite a bit of time with me explaining the procedure and answering my questions. It is very rare to find doctors who are willing to spend time talking with patients and get to know them on a personal level. The fact that Dr. Ewing did that helped build my trust in him as a surgeon and eased my nerves. Additionally, since he is a DO, he seemed to take a more homeopathic approach to medicine which I appreciate. He gave me some suggestions for supplements and foods to ease some of the discomfort I was experiencing. I love it when doctors are open minded to other alternatives than just pharmaceutical solutions.
Obviously my surgery went great but I won’t mention the details since it was performed at a surgery center not affiliated with his office. As far as post up, I received several phone calls from his PA, Amber, to see how I was feeling, if I needed anything, etc. I was in and out of the office within 45 minutes for my post-​op appointment and then received a follow up call two days later, again from Amber, to see if my complications had subsided. I have been so impressed by the personal interest both Dr. Ewing and Amber have shown! Dr. Ewing only performs surgery for upper extremities but he will be my first choice in surgeons if I ever need additional surgery. I can’t recommend him and his endoscopic approach enough.
