Dr Stephen Pearce and Austin Bone and Joint (OACT) team have been great to work with dealing with my broken ankle, from the initial consultation and surgery, to check ups and physical therapy. I hope to never have to see Dr. Pearce again, but if I have any future injuries of the bone and joint variety they will be my first call.

Dr. Pearce has been a great partner through my ACL repair. He's been a fantastic listener and answered all my questions through the process. My goal has been to get back on skis and his team has helped me achieve that goal. I have to add that he was amazing on surgery day.

Dr. Stephen Pearce has seen me for multiple sports related injuries and has taken his time and consideration to make sure I get the exact care I need. When surgery was needed (shattered collarbone) he made it clear this was the only solution, however when surgery was optional (partial torn ACL) he laid out all the avenues, including rehab and surgery. I took the rehab road. Many doctors may tell you surgery is the only answer when that is not the case. Dr. Pearce gets 5 stars in my book!

July 27, 2017 had my left shoulder rebuilt. Damage was sever enough that cadaver tissue had to be used to repair what remained of my damaged shoulder. I was only on Tylenol pain reliever, two days post surgery. Rehabilitation went well and within the recovery time table, about four months, I was able to resume my regular physical activities with full range of motion. I am a rancher and need physical strength and ability. By this time I was able to unload 3 tons of cattle feed by myself.

Dr. Pearce has been a trusted adviser since the first day I saw him concerning the rotator cuff soft tissue tear I experienced in 2012. I opted for surgery to rectify this condition that was gradually worsening. The surgery outcome was favorable in many ways. Less use of opioid based medication, timely checkups and sage advice have kept me moving on a safe recovery back to health. I feel better every day and the shoulder continues to show improvement each day, thanks to Dr. Pearce.
“Overall experience with my shoulder surgery has been exceptional given the precision and accuracy of the surgery done by Dr. Pearce, his Pre-Op and Post-Op guidance and getting my right arm back to health over the past two months.”

Thank you, Dr. John Pearce for my amazing hip replacement and Dr. Stephen for my new elbow!

This was my first fall and broken bones in my life. It was very stressful for me. Dr. Pearce did a great job with the surgery and explaining everything to me. I had very little pain. I did have an issue due to my claustrophobia having to be confined to a cast. He understood and worked out a plan that I could be comfortable with. I had complete confidence in him. Healing went well, physical therapy went well, & Dr. Pearce continued to monitor me and encourage me.
