I was getting a second opinion on a knee injury. I was given an appointment quickly. When I arrived I did not have to wait long to see the PA. He did an exam, I had X-rays done then I saw Dr. Murphy. He got right to the point. No Show moresurgery. Just what I wanted to hear. My daughter in law, a nurse, was with me. She understood everything about the MRI and what the plan was. Even though it’s a long recovery I know I’m on the right track.
Dr. Murphy was professional yet easy to talk with before and after my knee replacement surgery. This mattered greatly to me. A prior consult with a very different doctor (not affiliated with Sports Medicine) ended poorly and left Show moreme concerned about having this surgery. Dr. Murphy’s experience and forthright, thoughtful and respectful responses to my questions assuaged my concerns. Although no post op of anything is easy, I believe his skills as a surgeon have made my recovery untroubled. I’ve already recommended him to several folks.

Professional, kind, knowledgeable, and got us in quickly.
The best at what he does! They worked with my needs and was very gracious about what I needed.
Very informative, I had seen another specialist for my shoulders issues and it was a waste of time. Dr. Edelson quickly diagnosed me and I could be completely recovered after proper therapy.
I’ve been going to Sports Medicine for several years and have always had excellent care and treatment by each and every person starting with the receptionist, medical assistant, NP (Val) and Dr Edelson. I’m confident in their knowledge and complete care for me. A great team who are very kind. I have recommended them to my family and friends.
Answered all my questions and gave many options
Excellent service. I did the online check-in, saves a lot of time! Less than 5 minute wait on spot day. Straight to X-rays, top o line staff & equipment. Doc was came in 5 minutes to review & advise. 2 cortisone shots & I'm dancing a jig
Very professional
Great surgeon and very nice bedside manner.
Dr Edelson is a great listener. He asks a lot of questions and didn’t tell me I had a perfectly good knee just jabbing me with a cortisone shot before he weighed in on the issue and gave me choices I had for resolving the injury.
Very thorough exam. If there’s something to fix in my knee after I have the MRI, I have confidence that it will get done.
Doctor is in a hurry. Hard to get questions answered to my satisfaction. I was told I am too old to repair my knee, which has been extremely painful. I cannot take ibuprofen for pain because of a blood disorder, tylenol does not work well enough. I have been very active in the past. This has affected me in many negative ways. I wasnt told why I am too old for the surgery.
Everyone is very friendly and my therapist is extremely knowledgable and helpful. I’ve had great success in my recovery working with him
Very thorough and no waiting time
Professional, knowledgeable and explains all your options in basic terms.
The office got me in quickly to see Dr Muphy. I had been trying to see another ortho and it was taking weeks to see anyone Dr was quick and Om now booked for surgery
Really good and organized. Efficient!
I have seen Dr. Edelson for years for meniscus tears repairs, cortisone shots, rotator cuff surgery and feel in great hands! Procedures are explained and well done! Regular check ins and caring about my recovery! And Val the PA is a gem! Thank you Sports Medicine!
Liked Dr Edelson and very friendly staff.
Incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, professional, and communicative.
Dr. Richard, Edelson’s and his team at Oregon sports medicine are the most caring and compassionate team!
Very professional and efficient care.
I wrote Dr. Edelson a letter and sent the office a box of candy already as a thank you for their great care and help. That said, my wife and I have both been patients at SMO several times over the years. We believe they are the very best place for orthopedic care near Portland.
My experience was as professional and kind as I expected. I am returning to Dr Edelsen 16 years after a surgery that was great. Now I hope he can fix me again.
Total knee replacement, total success.
He is thorough and understanding, yet able to direct me down the right path for my knee issue.
Efficient provider, empathetic care, and outstanding physician helped me return to sport 5-weeks after a minor meniscus procedure. Thank you!!!
I have the best Dr, PA and assistant team. Thank you for your compassion and professionalism toward me when I most needed.
