DR. DEREK PLAUSINIS - KELOWNA BONE & JOINT HEALTH REVIEWS
I would definitely recommend Dr. Plausinis. I had a complex shoulder injury from a IED blast during operation Athena Task Force 3-09. It did a real number on my rotator cuff which required difficult reconstructive surgery. Two surgeries later and six months of physiotherapy I have almost complete mobility and strength. I no longer have any pain in my shoulder.
I had a shoulder replacement done by Dr. Plausinis. I no longer have pain in my shoulder and I have a very good range of motion. Dr. Plausinis has an excellent bedside manner! He has my recommendation.
I found Dr. Plausinis to be a top notch surgeon. After having both shoulders replaced I am so pleased to be free of pain and I now have most of my mobility back. Thank you Dr. Plausinis

DR. JOHN OLIVER - KELOWNA BONE & JOINT HEALTH REVIEWS
Most professional, informative, kind doctor, just had total knee replacement and found him caring, informative about what was being done, called my husband at home to explain what was happening, Would always if necessary go back to only him!
Dr.Oliver was very prompt in seeing me, expressed a true concern and remedied my knee swelling during my initial office visit. He displayed great competence and resolved this very well. I would recommend him.
I practised Medicine for 50 years and sent my difficult orthopedic problems to Dr. Oliver for many of those years. His competence and Integrity were and are second to none.

DR. STEVEN KRYWULAK - KELOWNA BONE & JOINT HEALTH REVIEWS
Dr. Kyrwulak went ABOVE and BEYOND when he promised a cortisone shot to my sweet mother in law (who tore her rotator cuff when she fell and broke her hip). She was moved to Cottonwoods before he could get back to see her and he went out of his way to come to Cottonwood..... so kind and caring. Can't say enough about him. Also did a great job of her knee a few years back and she is up on her feet and feeling good after her hip surgery!
I cannot believe what an amazing Doctor Dr. Krywulak is. I have had both my hips done, and feel like I’ve added 20 years back to my life. From the frount desk dealing with Shelley, who was amazing and professional, to the Dr. Himself I honestly having absolutely nothing negative to say. Thanks to Steven and his team, you gave me my life back.
Dr. Krywulak performed 2 knee replacements on me, both excellent. I am so pleased with the surgeries he performed. He is by far one of the best surgeons in the province. His peronal at the front desk Shelley is amazing, so helpful. Thankyou so much.
