“As many of my patients know me from the ski hill or bike riding as know me from my office. We share a common love of outdoor pursuits. I have a very straightforward approach. I speak with my patients, not at them, in language they seem to understand. Quite simply, my job is to get them back to doing whatever it was that they were doing before they got hurt. I understand what it’s like to have to give up something you love doing and hope my patients won’t have to.”

I just wanted to take a min. And say thank you to Dr. K for being the BEST DR. EVER! Not only did he save my sister's life when she was in a car accident I believe she was one of his first patients when he came into town. God sent here I believe for my sister I truly believe without you we wouldn't have her today so thank you, Dr. K, for saving her. Also, through the years he has worked on many family members and friends without any complaints im telling you this man knows what he's doing. Some people are meant to be doing what they're doing and he's one of them. I would NEVER recommend any other dr. So thank you again Dr. K please keep doing what you're doing we all appreciate you.

Dr. Kontogianis always greets me with a smile. He clearly explains what is causing my medical concern and what options are available to correct it.

--Michael O.

Dr. K listened to what I was needing, he explained the results and asked all my questions. I didn't feel that he was hurrying through my appointment, made an appointment for an injection before I left and he suggested I see one of their other physicians for areas that weren't necessarily in his field.

--C.

Dr was very through of procedure of my surgery.

--Alyshia R.

Got in quickly, was seen efficiently and was a good experience.

--Qualia

Dr. K is an advocate for restorative fitness, thus I chose him several years ago to restore one knee. I returned to him when I injured the other. In both situations, he listen and provided the restorative medicine that I sought.

--Louis G.

I’m very pleased with my visit with Dr. K. I was fearing the worse diagnosis and Dr. K explained to me that surgery was not needed at this time and suggested I get a Cortisone injection in each thumb joint. One now and the opposite hand in a month. Being a professional musician with a very busy schedule, I was very pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this office over any other Orthopedic facility in the area. A couple years ago I had a broken ankle repaired by Dr. Shurfee at the same facility. That was a complete success story as well. Thank you Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates!!

--Jerry L.

As a provider myself it is imperative to note that post care is essential for proper healing! Had my pin removed today and it was so simple due to the necessary care required after surgery for optimal results! Extremely thankful for Dr K and the whole team at BFOA!! Thanks to all!

--Robert R.

Always willing to listen and try to work out the best solution. I never feel like the doctor or other staff members are not doing anything but trying to get the best help for me.

--Judy R.

I was having hip pain. Other orthopedists in Hermiston were months out. They got me in within a few days. Dr. K was attentive and curious before drawing his conclusions. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly, provided a solution (cortisone shots), and instead of putting it out for another appointment, he administered them right then. The relief was almost instant. I recommend Dr. K both for his bedside manner and for his professional expertise.

The service from the front desk was helpful and clear in communication. They helped make a painful situation significantly more pleasant.

--Aaron B.

Answered questions about my knee not short sighting anything. Helped with bunch of issues resulting from my injury!

--Chris W.

Dr. Kontogianis and all those working in the office were Amazing! I highly recommend him and this practice!

--Rhonda D.

I have used Benton Franklin Orthopedic Associates (BFOA) for over 12 years, begining with Dr. "K" (KONTOGIANIS) for Knee, Shoulder, and Wrist surgeries, including MRIs and Physical Therapy. The BFOA facilities are always modern, neat and clean. Those experiences have always been pleasant and competent. Most recently I have had Lower Back pain, so I asked BFOA to assign a Doctor who can help me. I was assigned Dr. Garcia, whom I had never met, however, because I had reached out to BFOA I was not surprised at Dr. Garcia's pleasant manner and competence. What I like most about BFOA is that they pursue and fix what is causing the issue, not simply treating the symptoms, as I have found other Doctors. 5 stars for Benton Franklin Orthopaedic Associates!
