Pumpkins, gratitude, and 30+ years of trust.

Every year, Don Simburger graciously gives back to local Bismarck medical practices to show his support and thanks for their care and dedication to the community. This month, Don, a longtime Bone & Joint Center patient, stopped by with a trailer full of pumpkins and squash for our staff to take home.

"I've been going to The Bone & Joint Center since 1990 and haven't looked to go anywhere else. These pumpkins are my way of giving back."

Thank you, Don, for making our day a little brighter!

“Dr. Ackerman and his team have been exceptional regarding my health needs. They truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to provide the best care possible.

The team that comes to Williston works tirelessly to ensure each and every patient gets the attention they deserve, even if it means staying longer than the allocated time. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Ackerman and his team. They have made my quality of life much better.”

From football injury to baseball glory, Ben Watson's story is a testament to resilience, expert care, and the power of determination.

After suffering a severe football injury that included tears to his ACL, LCL, and meniscus, Ben turned to Dr. Timothy Juelson for surgery. Eleven months later, he returned to competition and helped lead Bismarck Legacy back to the state baseball tournament.

Watch his KFYR-TV Sports Spotlight:

Ben Watson's 100% was a huge factor in getting the Sabers back to the state tournament, and now he hopes to do the same with the Govs.

On a recent trip to Alaska, Warren climbed back onto a dog sled for the first time in decades. Thanks to a new knee and lease on life, he got to share that moment with his grandkids.

“I first injured my knee playing high school football, then tore it up again years later while hunting and living in Alaska. I had surgery in 1972 and managed for a while. I even did some recreational dog mushing.

By my forties, the pain started creeping in again. Eventually, I had to give up hunting. Then mushing. Then long walks. The last five years were the worst, with constant pain, trouble sleeping, and no relief that lasted. That’s when I went to Dr. Brian Dahl.

We tried all the conservative methods first. They helped for a bit, but eventually, I hit my limit. I remember telling Dr. Dahl, ‘I’m actually looking forward to surgery.’ He laughed and said that was the first time he’d heard that.

Rehab took work, but I did it right. Now, I can walk just about anywhere. I’m on the treadmill. I ride the stationary bike. I work out every day. I have three grandchildren. We went to Disney World, and I was able to keep up.

On our Alaska trip, I set up a dryland dog mushing tour. It felt amazing to be back on a sled, bouncing through the trails. I never thought I’d do that again.

I’m incredibly thankful for Dr. Dahl and the team at The Bone & Joint Center. They gave me my life back.”
