Testimonials
Dr. Pifer did surgery on my foot/Achilles heel and later on my shoulder. He was very professional and the anesthesiologist said we need more surgeons of his caliber in our town. He took a fair amount of time with me and calmed my fears. He offered suggestions about services and how to be more comfortable at home. Seems to be a very good doctor.

Dr. Pifer is an outstanding Orthopedic Surgeon. I just had my left knee replaced. His skill and professional efficiency enabled me to return home the day after surgery. My recovery has been excellent. I have no hesitation in giving him the highest recommendation I have even given any medical professional. It is my pleasure to recommend Dr. Pifer.

Dr. Pifer is a wonderful surgeon! He is straight and to the point and does what needs to be done. Great surgeons are hard to come by in Northern Arizona. He knows what he's doing and there's nothing more comfortable than that!

Doctor Pifer replaced my right hip in January of this year, my hip was so bad that my right leg was shorter than my left leg, Dr. Pifer was able to make both of my legs the same length. I just want to say how much better I feel, I feel like a whole new person thanks to you Dr. Pifer.
I would also like to add that the office staff was very professional, friendly and helpful.
Thank you Orthopaedic Specialists of Central Arizona.
