Living with a painful knee is no fun. Advanced Orthopaedic Specialists, Dr. Chris Arnold, and Pinnacle Surgery Center exceeded my expectations in every way.
Dr. Arnold’s medical team, along with the personnel at Pinnacle Surgery Center, made my Total Knee Replacement a great experience. Their kindness, calm demeanor, and explanation of what to expect was reassuring to me. They erased any anxiety I was experiencing.
Physical Therapy began two days following surgery. The AOS physical therapy department was in constant contact with Dr. Arnold’s team about my progress. Their enthusiasm and encouragement made physical therapy a fantastic experience. If needed, I would do this again in a heartbeat.
Many thanks to Dr. Arnold, Pinnacle Surgery Center, and AOS therapists for a wonderful experience that was second to none.
After 5 weeks of PT was released and 5 months alter took that trip to Greece and walked 2-5 miles per day with ZERO pain or swelling. Thank you Dr. Arnold and staff for giving back my mobility and ability to play with our 3 grandsons (and coming soon a granddaughter)!
I want to extend my sincere thanks to Dr. Hagan and Eric for the exceptional care I received during my recent visits. The procedure they performed was smooth, flawless, and incredibly helpful in improving my condition. Their expertise and clear explanations alleviated my concerns and provided me with a solid understanding of my situation. I’m also grateful for their efficiency and the prompt attention they gave to my needs, which made a significant difference compared to my experiences elsewhere. Additionally, the scheduling and admin team were outstanding, always helpful and accommodating despite my frequent calls. Thank you again for making a challenging time much easier to navigate.
I would like to thank Dr. Arnold and his team for the excellent care I received in March 2020 during and after my knee surgery (Arthroscopy). From the moment I checked into the beautifully decorated reception at AOS, Rogers through my aftercare with P.T. I received first class treatment. The pre-op area was quiet which made me feel at ease along with the great care of the nurses in that area. I am so grateful to Dr. Arnold for making me feel better. I am fortunate to have him as my Doctor and appreciate his care, patience with all my questions and support of my fears of surgery. He always takes the time to answer all my questions. I also very much appreciated a video update on the evening after the surgery from Dr. Arnold and explanation of how the surgery went along with a follow up telephone call. Advanced Orthopedic Specialists offer exceptional care and should I require future orthopedic services then this is where I shall go.
Our Daughter had a torn spring ligament. As an athlete for Bentonville this was a huge obstacle! Dr. Yakin had the proper guidance and treatment for her. He was upfront and honest about the lengthy time frame an injury like this takes and took a noninvasive approach. It was successful! About 11 months later she was back at it on the track!
I have had knee problems since 1998 and my recent surgery with Doctor Arnold has left me problem free! I literally lived a nightmare for 26 years. Anytime I did any kind of athletics my knee would dislocate. Growing up being an athlete and now having a son who loves to play sports with his mom, this was a curse. For the first time in 26 years I can move around and play sports without the constant fear of dislocation. The surgery was not my favorite however, the outcome was absolutely worth it. Thank you Dr. Arnold! Peace of mind is priceless!
I had several knee dislocations and I was very blessed to have found Dr. Arnold, him and his team took incredible care of me. They were compassionate and supportive in physical therapy. Dr. Arnold and his team really helped me get back on my feet and back to life. I’m very grateful for those people and the help they provided. I definitely recommend them to anyone that needs help.
My husband and I have been patients of Advanced Orthopaedic Specialists on 4 different occasions during the past 18 months. Between the two of us, we have been treated by 3 doctors, have had 2 surgeries and served by several other staff members. I want to express appreciation for the service we have received. Both the medical clinic professional staff and the staff in the Physical Therapy Clinic are THE BEST. This is true for every encounter we have had in the clinic, hospital, and by phone.
We very much appreciate the kind professional service and respect staff members have shown us. The Physical Therapy Clinic staff are the finest anywhere. Carey at the Front Desk, the Physical Therapy assistants / interns and of course the Physical Therapists … they are top notch. They have that unique ability to blend hard PT work with a pleasant personality. The team works well together, show respect for the client and for each other. After one visit, Carey knows your name and calls it each time.
No doubt, I’ll return for another type of treatment in future. I will always choose Advanced Orthopaedic Specialists for my orthopaedic health needs.
Major success with both knees. My advice is to listen to your doctor and do your PT. I am so impressed with Dr. Arnold. I thought before that was just my way of life.
Jimmy has been great! He is very positive and tries to do different things to help my recovery, not just ride the bike! He is an awesome PT guy!
These doctors are awesome! Gave me my life back with two new knees. Now I’m all over the place traveling and walking!
I could not be more pleased with the result that Dr. Chris Arnold achieved by doing rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder. I knew I had a serious, painful issue in August of 2018 but put off the surgery until January 2019. By mid March 2019 I was playing golf. The first two weeks after surgery was uncomfortable but not painful, from then on the rehab I received was outstanding and I could not be more pleased. I would strongly recommend anyone that suffers with a painful, irritable shoulder having it repaired by Dr. Arnold. Advanced Orthopaedic Specialist, are truly Specialists.
I’m 59 and a half years old and I’ve had two total knee replacements within two years by Dr. Arnold. I would recommend him to anyone and to never put off your knee pain. I left the hospital relieved of pain on day one.
When discussing A.O.S, the term professionals is a drastic understatement. Their process is short, to the point, and yields maximum results.

After undergoing their shoulder reconstruction process I can proudly say that I am back on the Track / Field working towards an intensity I’ve never reached before. HUGE THANKS to the Team / Staff.

I’ve had both shoulders replaced with excellent results. Dr. Yakin and staff must have done an excellent job as I had quick recovery both times. Physician Specialities Hospital was very clean and organized and the staff was great. Thanks to you all.
Dr. Yakin fixed my shoulder when others couldn’t. I’d recommend him to anybody who needs an orthopedic surgeon!
Dr. Arnold is the BEST! I will not have anybody else operate on my knees, shoulder, or hip!
So thankful for Dr. Wagner and his caring staff. It’s been hard watching my boy miss 8 weeks of baseball, but knowing he’s healing properly with an excellent treatment plan makes it worth it.
I won’t say it wasn’t once in a while a struggle, but I made such a quick recovery from my hip replacement surgery because of Dr. Yakin, nurses, staff and physical therapists at Advanced Orthopaedic Specialists.
Dr. Sites, the word is spreading around Newton and Boone County that you and your staff are the best. In fact, the King of the hip and knees is now Dr. Terry Sites. It is my pleasure to thank you for your expertise and complete coordinated care in re-aligning my life.
Dr. Sites, Glenda & Staff, I just wanted to tell you “thank you” for putting my fractured wrist back together again! Everybody was always cheerful and encouraging, kind and professional. It is good to see a smile when you’re not at your best. Thanks for all you did for me.
Everyone took such good care of me before, during, and after my shoulder surgery. Dr. Sites, you are something else and gave me hope for an injury I didn’t think could be repaired. You are truly remarkable. Everyone there is always courteous and willing to help. Thanks again for everything.
Dr. Sites – I can’t begin to tell you how thankful I am for you to be my doctor. Everyone who knows your name only has wonderful things to say about you. Just knowing how well you have taken care of my uncle has always made me feel at ease with the thought of you operating on me. As you know, I was a bit sad when I knew my body wasn’t going to heal itself and that I’d actually have to have surgery. But just knowing that you would be my surgeon made me feel very comfortable and confident in a full recovery. I was never even the least bit nervous about the operation because I knew I was in such good hands. I can’t truly comprehend how lucky I am to have you as my doctor. I hope you realize how wonderful and special you are – and how much of a positive impact you have on so many people’s lives. Again, thank you so very much for everything you have done for me!

As a former Razorback, keeping an active lifestyle is very important. After years of continued pain and discomfort Dr. Arnold was able to give me relief and more importantly my lifestyle back with a total knee replacement.
I had a complete knee reconstruction. I tore my ACL, PCL, MCL and both meniscus. After one year, I am finally returning to jumps and tumbling for cheerleading, and I couldn’t be happier. It has been a long journey, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without Dr. Arnold and his team. They’re truly amazing.
It can be a frightening time when you seriously injure yourself. From the moment I stepped into the door at Advanced Orthopedic Specialists, I have been impressed with their efficiency and professionalism from the administrative staff all the way up to Doctor Arnold. Everyone at Advanced Orthopaedic Specialists has had my best interest at heart and eased all my questions and concerns at every step of the way. I recommend Advanced Orthopaedic Specialists to anyone!
Huge thank you to Dr. Arnold and his staff for helping these dedicated, hardworking girls overcome multiple injuries. Thanks to them, these girls were able to achieve their childhood dream of finishing a perfect 43-0 season with a State Championship! Dr. Arnold, these two Lady Panthers are especially fond of you!
