What our patients are saying

Providing our patients with quality care and successful outcomes is what our practice is all about. We are pleased to share these compliments from our patients, and we look forward to providing you with a great experience!

“Dr. Castro is an awesome surgeon. He tells you exactly what he sees with the injury and what exactly will help you. I have found with talking to Cornerstone staff, and the staff at the hospital the Dr. Castro only does surgery when it will benefit the patient and that is nice to find in a surgeon.”

“The Cornerstone staff explained everything very thoroughly and made sure that I knew the treatments were my choice, giving me reasons why they thought any particular action was the best way to go.”

“Dr. Castro took time to explain everything I needed to know before my neck surgery… very caring!”

“Dr. Ciccone helped explain the extent of my injury and has helped manage my expectations on the recovery timeline, which is very important to me. Understanding the lengthy recovery timeline is important so I don't expect a faster recovery than was is probable.”

“Dr. Ciccone listened to my concerns, repeated them back to me, and we came up with a very workable plan.”

“Dr. Eickmann with the help of Erika Quane showed remarkable knowledge, experience and a deep sense of caring about their patients and their chosen area of surgery. They were kind and helped me relax by showing me not only professionalism but a sense of humor that I truly appreciated. My quick recovery from my hip replacements (2 in 3 months) is without a doubt a direct result of Dr. Eickmann's expertise in surgery and his dedication to providing the absolute best care he possibly can. I could not be happier with my surgeries and the care I received at Cornerstone. Thank you all... you have changed my life!”

“Dr. Eickmann identified the problem, was pleasant and courteous, and worked me into his very busy schedule because my pain was acute and I was worried that I had done something to damage my joint replacement that had been previously done. It would have been easy for him to jump straight to surgery. However, he explained treatment options and involved me in the decision. I really appreciated this…”

“Dr. Hsin was very patient and comforting to my daughter. She had to have her finger reset and she was very scared. She loves him!!!” “Dr. Hsin has a calm and confident bedside manner. He thoroughly explained my injury and how it is treated. He smiled and looked at me while speaking to me. He used a sense of humor as well. He asked me questions about the accident and listened well.”

“I've known Dr. Hsin for a while now, and completely trust him with the health of my arm. I had a positive experience the first time, and will always come back.”

“I am one of those patients who like to know more about everything. Dr. Mann answered all my questions, and engaged me at the level I desired. He even arranged for me to watch the surgical procedure on my own screen during the surgery - which I loved!”

“I came in with serious pain and left feeling much better, the following day had no pain… a miracle!!!”

“I was referred to Cornerstone Orthopedics by my primary care doctor for my knee surgery in May 2007. He had used Cornerstone for his shoulder surgery. I felt if my doctor trusts Cornerstone to perform his surgery, then I'd use them for my knee surgery. I had very positive experience with my knee surgery in May 2007 and when I injured my other knee in August of 2010. I didn't even consider using any other practice for my knee surgery and specifically asked for Dr Mann again.”

“Dr. Mazzola did a great job by listening to my concerns and made sure to check all possible problems and solutions. He was friendly and made sure to spend enough time with me so that I understood my treatment and knew exactly how to take care of it. Thanks, Dr. Mazzola!”

“Dr. Mazzola explained my injury very clearly and was very friendly and engaging. I appreciated that he treated me like I had a brain and didn't need things "dumbed down".”

“Dr. Mazzola was professional, respectful, answered my questions to my satisfaction, explained my problem clearly, and explained the treatment options and what would be involved. During the procedure, he explained what he was doing and why and was considerate of my feelings.”

“Dr. Mazzola was friendly and informative. He apologized for the long wait and was sincere. He was cheerful and seemed genuine in his interest in me as an individual. Great 'bed-side 'manner!”

“Dr. Ocel is patient and behind those big blue eyes is a caring human who is also a Doctor. Coming in to see him with questions and concerns is always an uneasy feeling until he reassures me with a professional answer. He is just great!”

“Dr. Ocel was friendly, concerned and provided me with help for my injury.”

“Dr. Ocel was very friendly and explained the procedure for surgery. He also was more than happy to wait for my spouse to arrive to explain his evaluation and needed surgery. His confidence and excitement in his job made me confident in him. I was not disappointed in my experience as my best friend referred me to him and he was everything she said he would be.”

“Knowing that Dr. Ocel took as much time with me as he did any of his other patients, made the waiting acceptable for me! I wish I would have had Dr. Ocel do my surgery!!! I would have been SO MUCH MORE informed than I ever was with my previous Dr.!”

“Dr. Ocel is warm, friendly, caring, and personable; he smiled a lot, and showed great enthusiasm over my progress. He has a fun sense of humor and took time to show and explain x-rays very thoroughly. He summarized my injury history, current status and future needs, and gave very helpful specific tips at specific stages (i.e. suggested driving with a flip-flop when the boot was removed...Great idea!). He was willing to be flexible and resourceful and to trust me when issues came up (i.e. replaced cast early with boot.. thank you! Thank you! - Worked out great!) I think the world of Dr. Ocel and admire his high level of quality expertise as well as the humanly/professional way with which he carries and presents himself.”

“Dr. Schneider is an amazing doctor. He listens to your concerns and makes you feel like you are his only patient. He includes your thoughts into the decision about your treatment plan. I like that he is conservative in his treatment and doesn't unnecessarily jump to surgery. I would and do recommend him to everyone who asks about an orthopedist.”

“He actually listened to me and treated me with respect. Dr. Schneider has restored my faith in the medical community after having a horrible experience at an orthopedic center in Fort Collins.”

“Dr. Schneider actually listened to all the multiple problems I was having and came up with a solution. I saw several surgeons for this injury prior to Cornerstone and everyone told me I just had to “live with the pain" because they didn't take the time to understand the source of that pain. Kurt, the PA was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and reassuring throughout every step of my surgery. He explained the surgical procedure in great detail and calmed all my concerns post-surgery.”
