Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

I had a total hip replacement surgery done in April 2024 by Dr Korcek at MeKenzie Willamette Medical Center. The surgery was flawless and the hospital was amazing in their care when I didn’t pass physical therapy and had an unexpected stay. My Chiropractor kept commenting on how my leg length was exactly right and that he was impressed with my surgeon’s ability. I can’t say enough for the hospital and Dr Korcek’s superb care.

Dr Mildren is an excellent surgeon. I had an Arthroscopy this morning and have had previous surgeries at Slocum. The nurses are all very kind and gentle. My surgeries were completed without complication. I will eventually need a total knee replacement and have complete confidence in Dr Mildren’s surgery skills.

I continue to be treated extremely well by the staff at Slocum, most importantly, Dr Shah.
He has replaced my right knee, continues his care of my left knee with diagnosis and treatment (cortisone)
Additionally, I have had successfully completed rehabilitation/PT after cervical fusion.
Highly recommended, professionally managed establishment.
My wife has also had two successful bunion surgeries with Dr Jackson.

I would recommend this place to ANYONE! They are absolutely amazing!! My wife needed surgery on her arm, so we came from out of town. Dr. Sheerin and his Assistant Stephanie were absolutely incredible. There are no other words to describe how wonderful they are. We are so thankful for you both and the rest of the medical team there.

Dr. Shah is incredible and never fails to give me exemplary care. He pays attention and listens to my questions, and I feel valued as a patient. Dr. Shah has improved my quality of living and I'm so grateful. We are lucky to have such skilled orthopedic surgeons located in Eugene, Oregon. I appreciate being allowed to participate in my healthcare options. Making appointments to fit my schedule is never a problem.

I saw Lucas Korcek for a total hip. I had been in excruciating pain for 2 years. Within two weeks post op my joint pain was gone. He is a brilliant surgeon whom I highly recommend. The nursing staff especially my nurse Tony was top tier. I feel extremely grateful. I would give them 10 stars if I could!

I had a total knee replacement with Dr. Jewett on 8-9-23. I have been an RN for 43 years, and half of my career has been spent in the Surgery Department. That being said, if you need knee surgery, this is your surgeon! Riverbend Hospital was great! The staff there was great! My anesthesia provider, Dr. Michael Moore was INCREDIBLE!!!! I was up and walking 2 hours after surgery. I went home 5 hours after surgery. My post-surgical outcome is perfect! But I knew it would be because Dr. Jewett had already performed perfect surgery on my father and on a family friend years before I needed my surgery. I am looking forward to getting my 2nd knee done the exact same way that my new knee was done. My mobility is restored, and I'm back to work this week as a surgical RN!🙌🏻

He totally explained my condition, treatment option and made me feel less anxiety. I then did agree to surgery. I am so grateful that I trusted him. The low level pain post surgery was LESS than the pain Pre surgery!

My 2 shoulder replacements both lasted about 1 1/2 years each, and then they "broke." The pain is horrible. I have done 9 major surgeries in 4 1/2 years. Please find a better shoulder replacement Dr. if you think you must do shoulder replacement! I was much better off with worn-out shoulders !

I had an emergency surgery. Calling and dealing with the staff at Slocum is not always the easiest thing when your in pain and suffering. Lisa Maddox one of the clinical staff has been the most helpful out of everyone I've spoke to. I greatly appreciate the help, listening and understanding she has given me through my healing. Defiantly appreciate you Lisa Maddox. Thank you for being a kind and caring person.. it's not east breaking a bone.

It has now been a year since my bilateral hip replacement has been done. I can not thank Dr Brian Jewett and his staff for a very caring experience. I was so scared to have this major surgery for over 3 years, but my first visit with Dr. Brian Jewett I felt so comfortable and completely trusted him. He is very caring, very honest, very educated and very professional. I have been doing wonderful, with no pain! I have been able to do everything again. If I could have him as a primary Dr. I would pick him for that too. I give 10+ stars,

At 81 I had a total hip replacement done by Dr
Mildren. I was able to take care of myself, dogs, and cats at home the afternoon of surgery. At the end of the first week I was able to walk with only aid of a cane and walk up and down the stairs dozens of times a day.

Very experienced hip replacement team (Dr. Jewitt). I went home shortly after surgery. Booklet had everything I needed to know. Pre/post surgery and everything in-between. Post surgery info very comprehensive, day by day, week by week checklist. X-ray tech Ava was quick n efficient. Shared x-rays with me. Physical Therapist (Lonnie Ward) is very knowledgeable about how bodies work and had a variety of ways to strengthen my new hip and both legs. Very positive and a good listener. Worked me at my pace and was encouraging. Easy to look at. 🙃

The first appointment I had with Dr Bear was comforting and got every detail I needed for my wrist surgery. Dr Bear definitely knows how to do his job well! I was expecting at least 2 months to heal! I began to heal within 7 days! Thank you! All of the staff was amazing!

He is an amazing doctor. I was put in a wheelchair for almost a year before I was finally referred to him. I'm 31 my life had become miserable, I was in constant pain. He did replacements on both hips, while recovery and physical therepy took a little longer for me, since I had been immobile for so long, I did fully and completely heal. My 2nd surgery was May 9th I got married on a beach june 10th with no crutches in sight. Since then I have been walking on my own. I couldn't be happier, not only did he save my life, he was a good doctor. I'm grateful I was referred to someone who actually listens and cares for his patients, and does all he can to get them back to normal. Unfortunately, our last appt I was still in a wheelchair part time because any real distance was still very difficult, but I wanted to leave this so he would hopefully know that his hard work paid off, and has changed everything for me. I am almost back to normal and working hard to get there, we are going camping soon, first time in 2 years. Thank you for fixing me when other surgeons wouldn't. I have my life back and I am so grateful.

Went to Dr. Lucas Korcek for my hip pain that was killing me. Got into see him with less than stellar health insurance, but never was I treated with disrespect. McKenzie Willamette Hospital was outstanding as well.

Checked in for surgery hurting really bad. Came out of surgery pain free. Never used a single pain pill. I could have easily walked the day of surgery without crutches, but did not. Just shocked at how great of a job he did.

Will be getting injections in my hip for a while and Dr Routhier is outstanding! Painless and quick!

I would go to Korcek for just about any orthopedic surgery I ever need. Younger, but extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. He has impressed a lot of doctors in Coos Bay.

My Daughter had to go here for a fracture on her wrist. They were very detailed, checked throughly, and they were very kind. When she had to have her cast taken off they were vety patient and awesome. (Despite my daughter being very very scared)
Great people.

Dr Spencer Dowdle has been my hip Dr since 2020. He's never been anything but kind pleasant and thorough thus far. My kitty of 15 yrs died just a couple weeks before my first appointment and I had been crying as he entered the room. He was very compassionate and concerned for my feelings. He even took the time to look at a picture of her. Honestly i look forward to our appointments. He wants you to understand what your up against and reassures you that he's in your corner.

I have a hip deformity and since i am so young we've tried pushing this surgery out as far as possible. I will have bolth of my hips replaced by this time next year. I feel very confident and comfortable with Dr Dowdle and so far I'm very pleased with his service.

I find it unfair to leave low ratings especially on a Dr without reason. Ratings can really impact someone's career...Dr or, not! So low ratings need to have some sort of explanation even if it's a short one.
Just my 2 cents!

My experience with Dr.Jackson and his team was outstanding. Dr. Jackson and his assistant were thorough showing me what would be happening during the surgery at the pre-op appointments and the day of, and answering any questions that I had. On surgery day, the Slocum nursing staff worked seamlessly to make sure I was comfortable and ready for the procedure. They were all so personable and kept the mood light and fun. I would highly recommend family and friends to Slocum. Their reputation precedes them, and they are, in fact, the best.

I have had two surgeries done there now so I thought I’d leave a review. The first surgery I had was for a posterior larbral tear in my shoulder, this year I broke my foot and the compassion with which I was treated was top notch. I was a grown adult in tears from pain and I was met with understanding and a clear want to see me feel better. Surgery from check in to check out went flawless. They are relaxed, organized and everyone knows what job they are doing.
