Joe was great. He eyeballed my mobility and set recovery expectations in ways I could understand. He also explained the reasons for why I'd need to keep my sling on for x amount of time. Afterward he let me ask lots of questions and cleared up my understanding of the procedure and the healing process. His manner was down to earth and easy to talk to. It's clear that Joe is confident in this work after many years.

Joe Boutet is a wonderful Physician's Assistant at NW Orthopedics. Years of experience, very knowledgeable, professionally, & easy to discuss medical issues & concerns. Having an outstanding PA after ACL surgery means you are much more likely to come through surgery without mishaps. Regular visits that first year after surgery ensure you optimize recovery & minimize risk_no stupid mistakes that cause injury & might necessitate having to redo surgery. It means rehab goes well & you find out the best Donjoy (custom) knee brace for downhill skiing & and what precautions you need to take for all sorts of other sports (biking, cross-country skiing, sailing, tennis, pickleball, & all the rest). Again, these regular one-on-one visits every two months or so this first year are critical for recovery both now & for the future. Joe Boutet is the very essence of superb medical care I have come to expect at NW Orthopedics.
