Very rushed and impatient with anything I said or asked, I could tell that this doctor did was getting rid of me as fast as possible and sadly, trying to be nice about it. He wouldn't even listen to anything his PA said though she'd spent time with me and knew more. He talked right over her. I've gone elsewhere for help.

Dr. Travis Maak is an amazing physician! I've had 4 operations on my right knee over 3 decades. I sought out Dr Maak in 2013 when I started having almost constant pain in the knee. Thanks to his care, I've avoided a knee replacement and I am able to walk without pain (as long as I don't abuse the knee). I am grateful to be under his care and recommend Dr. Maak to anyone with a serious knee problem.

Dr Maak took the time to thoroughly examine my hip. He then explained what was going on and showed us Images In ways that were not dummied down, but which we could understand. He laid out all of the options and risk vs benefits with each. He was caring and clinical at the same time. He encouraged and responded to all of my questions and concerns, not only about my hip directly, but the Impact on my life and what my needs and demands are. He was my second opinion after several appointments at granger sports medicine. I left those appointments very concerned about the competency of the practitioners I saw. I left this appointment feeling lighter and confident In my care and treatment plan. So grateful for physicians who strive for excellence. Dr. Maak and his team are the highest echelon of medical practice.

Dr. Maak is a superb physician and I have been under his care since 2013. I've had 4 operations on my right knee. In 2016 thought I would need a knee replacement. With Dr. Maak's treatment, I've avoided the surgery while continuing to be as active as possible on the knee. The U of U Health System is most fortunate to have Dr. Maak as a member of their health care team.

dr. Maak was so thorough- he showed me my X-rays and explained everything in layman's terms. told me different options, made his suggestions and we made a plan together. he is the only orthopedic doctor to listen to my concerns, take them seriously, and move forward with his expertise. other doctors I've seen recently were, for lack of better words, dismissive asses. Dr. Maak was so much better all around. receptiveness, professionalism, bedside manner and common courtesy. so glad I am now his patient.

I consider myself blessed to be under the care of Dr. Maak. I had four operations on a knee prior to my seeing Dr. Maak in 2013 (I think this is the year I first saw Dr Maak). His actions have helped me avoid having a knee replacement operation. He is an amazing physician with an incredible bedside manner. If he moved to another state to practice medicine, I would be strongly inclined to pay the cost required to travel to remain under his care. The University of Utah is indeed fortunate to have a physician of his caliber on their staff.
