AOI DOCTORS UTILIZE CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY AND TREATMENTS.

Dr. Cook performs shoulder replacement and reverse total shoulders, a more complex replacement surgery, as well as complex rotator cuff pathology using graft products to augment repairs or reconstruct the rotator cuff, and cartilage regeneration through the application of stem cells—what he calls the future of orthopedics.

“It’s a new treatment avenue that I’m exploring for patients who want to maintain joint health and preserve their native joint as opposed to seeking a replacement,” says Dr. Cook, adding that few other area doctors offer the treatment.

Dr. Williams performs custom total knee replacements by making custom preoperative equipment and custom implants, and also uses CT scans to help create a computer navigation device that helps implant hip replacements more precisely.

The AOI family includes nurses, physical therapists, assistants, and an insurance authorization expert to help patients understand benefits. The doctors and staff like to maintain a hardworking yet easy-going atmosphere.

“I just love coming to work to work with my staff,” practice administrator Vanessa Bean says. “They’re so good-hearted, hardworking, and I love being here with them. The doctors are fun to be around, they’re down to earth, not to mention how intelligent they are.”

The office is filled with positive energy, Latrelle Davis, LPN, says. “Everybody’s doing a wonderful job. They’re friendly. They care about the patients, they try to answer all their questions, and get information to them properly and timely.”

Medical assistant Beth Bartlette is new to the team and already impressed.

“They’re very professional and very good at what they do,” she says. “It’s hard work, but it’s rewarding because they do such a good job with their patients. Everything with them is top rate, first class.”
