My injury happened on a Sat night at 8pm. I called Dr. Dickerson's office on Monday morning and he was able to get me in that same afternoon at 1:45. He is very professional and very good at what he does. He performed my surgery a few days later. He explained everything he was going to do and how long it would take to heal. Each office visit was quick with professional staff. He always took the time to answer my questions. Thank you Dr. Dickerson!!!

I’ve worked with Dr Eric Heiden and Dr Daniel Gibbs. Dr Heiden has been taking care of my right knee, osteoarthritis (2 hyaluronic acid injections) and torn meniscus (arthroscopic surgery), over almost five years. When they opened and office in Tooele I saw Dr Gibbs for my left knee, osteoarthritis and torn meniscus (arthroscopic surgery.) Both of the doctors, their assistants and especially their support staff have been great! They may be able to keep from knee replacement for another ten years or so.🙂
