Our Office
We will thoroughly present treatment options, answer any questions that you have, and explain each of your procedures during your initial visit. It is our goal to have you feel secure in the treatment you receive. We are proud to have the reputation as a patient focused surgical office and have made it our goal to provide excellent treatment with minimal discomfort. On a daily basis we have patients commenting on the excellent care they received here at our center. We want you to have a stellar experience with us too.
Our office is conveniently located at 1188 N. 15th Avenue (Suite 1) near the intersection of W. Oak Street in Bozeman, Montana. We will set aside time in the schedule for your specific type of appointment to provide you with ample time for questions, optimal care, and comfort. Our friendly treatment coordinators and surgical team will help you understand your treatment every step of the way.
Our office offers a soft, soothing and comfortable environment for both patients and employees. This theme has been carried throughout the building with the intent of minimizing the sterile feel of a medical facility, reducing stress on our patients, allowing for quicker recovery rates, and creating a healthy work environment. We want our patients to feel at home from the moment they enter our office, which reduces anxieties, instills confidence and makes for an overall pleasant experience, from start to finish.
