FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

My surgeon in my home town replaced both of my shoulders about 16 years ago and the hardware inside my shoulders has worn out and needs to be fixed, my doctor said he was comfortable fixing my shoulders because it is a very complicated surgery, and he said that no Surgeons in my area don't do these kind of procedures, so he recommended that I visit with Dr. Joyce at the University of Utah medical center, so my wife and I made the trip to visit with him, he was extremely nice and explained everything so I could understand, he said that both my shoulders needed a revision surgery to repair the worn out parts in my shoulders. He is very intelligent and experienced with this specific kind of surgery. I will have my first one done next month June 19th. I would highly recommend this Doctor, he has had a lot of experience doing these type of Surgeries.

ORTHOPAEDICS CENTER

Before surgery I asked him a little bit about his background and training. And it really impressed me. Before I asked him those questions, i sat in his exam room and listened to him talk about different options and what they would entail and that impressed me. The day of the surgery he showed me everything that was going to be done using my own x-rays as the example. That was impressive. After the surgery he was kind and his staff was wonderful helping me out. And then in my follow-up he was to the point and told me what I needed to watch for and gave me suggestions for the future. So far it has been a great experience.

He's gone above and beyond to communicate and respond to emails and provide recommendations as we navigated finding the best fit for a physical therapist and a routine that fit our schedule. We also have to travel a distance to and from appointments, Dr. Joyce has been very considerate of that, using telehealth options when he can and finding the right hybrid program to best meet my needs. We also really appreciate the professionalism of Dr. Joyce's staff, every time we visit the nurses and physical therapist have been kind and helpful. This a great team! Thank you!

Mar 17, 2024
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Based on my personal experience with Dr. Joyce's care both before and after the shoulder surgery, I would recommend him to anyone needing shoulder or elbow care. He recognized and explained to me the level of difficulty of reattaching my torn tendons and partially torn bicep tendon due to the four months since the injury took place. He also explained the need for healing time without use of the arm. He and his physical therapist emphasized the need for gentle and progressive physical therapy to reestablish range of motion, then progress to modest weight bearing exercises to restrengthen the associated muscles. Most importantly, he stated that the proper healing of tendons takes more time than the healing of bones. This gave me a realistic expectation of how my shoulder would heal, and how long it would take for physical therapy to reestablish my muscle strength.

Jan 01, 2024
FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

Besides being a skilled orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Joyce is an exceptionally good listener addressing all my questions/concerns. Even though the clinical exam was not strongly favoring a large rotator cuff tear, Dr. Joyce listened to my concern that something was significantly damaged. The MRI revealed tears requiring either a complex surgical repair of the rotator cuff with or a shoulder replacement. I chose the repair given my athletic and lifetime goals. Dr. Joyce's entire team went beyond my expectations before surgery and in recovery to help me progress through a challenging plateau after months. He always addressed my considerable number of questions, even calling me the day before surgery to make sure I did not have any more questions. Through more than a dozen orthopedic surgeries, no provider has ever checked in with me that way, and I will be continually grateful. The light at the end of the tunnel is shining more brightly given his team's care, including Jon and Lyndsay.

I would highly recommend Dr Joyce to anyone! He actually listened to my concerns and cared about my long term health and desire to live a healthy active life. I went to Dr Joyce due to a bicep injury that had created residual problems in my shoulder & he was great. He took the time to understand what was going on, to diagnose the problem, and to create a conservative treatment plan to help me regain strength and mobility in my arm. For the first time in several months I feel optimistic about my recovery and feel like there's a doctor who cares and is looking out for my best interests.
