Dr. Curtis Johnson is a hand surgery, orthopedics/orthopedic surgery, and sports medicine specialist in Provo, UT, Orem, UT, and Salem, UT. Dr. Johnson attended the University of Utah School of Medicine.

"I waited 40 minutes and saw the doctor for 5 minutes. Dr. Johnson did not want to listen to any of my symptoms or issues besides my carpal tunnel. He only wanted to focus on one issue and fixing it first then addressing the others symptoms afterwards. Guess what Mr. Johnson I don't want to come back to see you 10 more times and have 10 more surgeries and pay 10 times as much when the “issues” could all be taken care of at once. Also, his staff used another patient's chart who had the same name and DOB as me and added my information to it, so it's a giant mess of two different patient's information in one chart that they told me I have to call and fix with the records department (HIPAA Violation!). Plus they never sent my referral to the Neurologist for a Nerve Conduction Study. I had to call the Neurologist to find out why they hadn’t called me, then call Dr. Johnson’s office and leave a couple of messages to have them send the referral and wait 4 weeks to see the Neurologist.

What is Orthopedic Surgery?

Orthopedic surgeons, sometimes just called orthopedists, are surgical doctors of the musculoskeletal system. They work to keep your body active and in motion by treating problems with your bones, joints, tendons and muscles. The most frequently treated disorder seen by orthopedic surgeons is osteoarthritis, a common 'wear-and-tear' problem where the cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down, causing friction and pain. Orthopedic surgeons might also see patients for bone and joint deformities, amputation, infections of the bone and joint, overuse injuries, or nerve compression.

Orthopedic surgeons can order tests such as blood work and x-rays to get a clearer picture of the issue. Depending on the illness or injury, more than one different form of treatment may be used. Treatment may include:

Surgery, such as fusing bones together to increase stability, or replacing a joint
Medication, such as pain medication or steroids to promote healing
Casts, splints, or orthotics (devices such as braces or shoe inserts to support the body)
Physical therapy, a kind of treatment using exercise, stretching, heat, and massage to heal the body
Exercise, stretching, movement, and use of the affected part

Orthopedic surgeons also work to prevent injuries and slow the progression of disease in their patients. They educate patients on ways to prevent future injuries, and they treat illness in order to prevent further damage to bones or joints that may be affected by disease. The goal of an orthopedic surgeon is to help their patients restore movement and regain an active life.
