"I've had both my hips replaced by Dr. Prevost, both within a year. I am very happy with the results! I could barely walk before both surgeries, and now I am back to my full physical activities: skiing, biking, swimming, lifting weights, hiking, etc."

Vitals (Dr. Douglas P. Prevost)

"Dr. Matkin and his staff did an outstanding job coordinating my care from a rural location and making the surgery as smooth and comfortable as possible."

AFOC Testimonial

"Dr. Strohmeyer is absolutely top notch, as are all of the other doctors at Pioneer Peak Orthopedics. They are without a doubt the best orthopedic practice in Wasilla/Palmer. The walk in clinic is top notch as well."
