"I have enjoyed being part of the growth and development of Orthopedic Fracture Clinic, Orthopedic Healthcare Northwest, and now the Slocum Center over the past 45 years. Doctors Slocum, Larson, and James were the orthopedists who brought me to this medical community, and the commitment to provide the very best specialty orthopedic care has been very fulfilling for me."

Patient Testimonials

Arthritis knee problem. Examined and recommendation was made. I am mostly OK now. Thank you, Doctor Collis.

I received excellent care at Slocum for help with hip pain. Scheduling was easy. There was a long line when I showed up for my appointment due to staff shortage, but they made up for the wait with wonderful compassion. Dr. Collis and his staff were quick to explain my procedures and very supportive of my recovery. Both appts. helped my bursitis pain and I am grateful for the help I received.

Timely appointment, well managed facility. X-ray first, short wait, saw the provider, and received excellent advice.

Very impressed with the efficiency from the moment we stepped in the door. You are a class act.
