“After a horse riding accident, I went to the hospital and straight to surgery where Dr. Holt repaired my injured hand, relocated my shoulder, cleaned the arm wound and stitched it up. I was in the hospital for three nights. I discovered I also had a concussion, so the recovery was tough. The following week, I went to Cascade Surgicenter where Dr. Holt repaired my shoulder. My physical therapist didn’t have a lot of hope for my arm and hand, which should have been elevated to heal, but couldn’t because of my shoulder injury. I’m 100% pleased with the outcome though, my doctor and therapist were the “dream team”. Because of their expertise, I am still doing two things that are very important to me — playing the piano and riding my horse..” – Rena Keffer
“I have been very happy with the care by Dr. Holt and your staff. I cannot think of single negative whatsoever in my care, and there were many positives. I’d like to thank everyone for excellent care.”
