Dr Aviles is a great dr. He has done surgery on both my elbows years ago with great success. I just seen him for my knee and he gave me a cortisone shot in it. He takes the time to listen to you unlike a lot of drs now.

Dr. Aviles is very personable and has a patient first mentality. He is very thorough, doesn’t take any risks with his patients, and answers everything so you can understand him. He doesn’t rush in & out of the room, staying until you have all your questions answered. He repaired my rotator cuff 3 years ago. Now I am facing a shoulder replacement and I wouldn’t consider anyone but him.

Staff was so professional, friendly and positive. I came to Iowa Ortho to get a second opinion from Dr. Aviles. He was not what we expected. My husband came with me and he was so impressed with the doctor. Not only did he answer our every question, he listened to our every concern with a gracious heart. No wonder Blue Cross Blue Shield lists this doctor in the Top 1% of Des Moines Orthopedic doctors. Dr. Aviles sure is #1 to us. And his staff was amazing!

Dr. Aviles has done surgery on my hip and on my shoulder. He was/is highly recommended by his peers. He’s an excellent listener, asks astute questions, explains his preliminary diagnosis and recommends next steps, MRI, therapy, etc. I have recommended him to several others and IF they follow his post surgical instructions and work with a terrific therapist, the results will be as s good as new. So glad he’s in Des Moines.

I have personally never had a doctor that has truly listened to me and my concerns or taken the time to explain things to me like Dr. Aviles.

Be prepared to come in at least a half hour early if you are a new patient. Long sign in questionnaire. Otherwise, not a long wait to go back to a room and not a long wait for Dr. Aviles to come in. He was very pleasant and he was very attentive to listening to my concerns. He also showed me my actual MRI and explained to me where the places were on my shoulder that needed attention and repairs. I really appreciated that. He’s a very kind and gentle person and I felt comfortable and welcome. Teresa

I 1st saw Dr Aviles in 2014 because I was diagnosed with rotator cuff tear. After viewing my MRI Dr Aviles recommended physical therapy due to cuff tear was very minimal and thought I may benefit from therapy over having to jump right in to surgery. He was correct, I began physical therapy and even took up some yoga stretching. It helped me a ton. I appreciate Dr Avelis not rushing right the gun to do surgery over trying a more natural healing. Well here I am 10 years later and I now have to get the surgery, mostly due to age. However… after Dr Aviles viewed my new MRI He said I’m an original specimen haha because my rotator tear has not progressed to extreme damage, yes surgery will have to be done to fix the issue but not so radical that I’m gonna be jammed up for a huge amount of time. He was very professional in explaining the process and putting me at ease. Im not a fool I do my research also.

The Doctor was very attentive and caring. He didn’t push anything on me that I wasn’t excepting of. I was treated with respect. He looked at my shoulder and observed the X-ray and the MRI. Gave me an exact diagnosis and a cortisone shot. Talked to me about possibly having to do surgery. I opted for no surgery and he let me keep the control of my own body. My shoulder is doing pretty good since the Cortisone shot. Thank you so much Dr.Aviles for your time and care.

Everybody I came across while I was at Iowa Ortho was very friendly and helpful. I could tell that Dr. Aviles was truly compassionate and empathetic towards the pain I was having. He made me feel like I was apart of my treatment plan rather than just telling me what to do, we worked together to come up with a plan we’re both happy with. I appreciated how he took the time to really listen to me, and cared about what I had to say, rather than rush me through the appointment. I’m so happy I made my appointment with Iowa Ortho, being around kind, caring, and empathetic people while I was in a great deal of pain assured me that I was exactly where I needed to be. I would highly recommend Dr. Aviles and Iowa Ortho!

Dr. Steven Aviles repaired my right shoulder over twelve years ago. I was at 100% recovered and went back to work with very little rehabilitation. I am now 72 years old and, yes you guessed it, I need more repairs due to my work ethic. I could have gone to any other surgeon, but I chose the BEST OF THE BEST as far as I am concerned. I am having surgery in June and pray everything goes well. I have faith in my surgeon so I know it will.

Dr. Aviles is one of the most caring, charismatic and professional doctors I’ve been to! I first met Dr. Aviles several years ago with a shoulder injury. He surgically repaired my injury to the point where I didn’t lose any range of motion and continue to be pain free to this day. So when my hip started giving me problems, I turned to who has helped me before—Dr. Steven Aviles. He is one of the brightest orthopedic surgeons DSM has to offer. If you are suffering any joint pain, my recommendation is to make an appointment to see Dr. Aviles at Iowa Ortho.

I felt like I was shuffled from one doctor to another without any plan of care or idea of how to treat my hip. Dr Aviles reviewed the chart, asked a few questions, and assessed my pain. In just a few minutes we had a plan to help me get me back on the mend. First day post operation I felt better than I had in 6 months. The hip is getting stronger daily and the pain is a fraction of what it had been . I could not be happier with dr Aviles and his staff.

Dr. Aviles is wonderful. Went to see him for my son’s elbow (2nd opinion) and he made us feel comfortable, informed and part of the decision process on how to move forward. He took the time to understand the patient and situation and genuinely cares about patients. Dr. Aviles is quite the opposite of Dr. Scott Meyers who we initially saw (I would avoid Dr. Meyer at all costs, he has zero bedside manner and we feel misdiagnosed the issue due to a lack of investigation/thoroughness driven by a lack of care or interest in people). My wife had a similarly poor experience with Dr. Meyer a few years back.

After seeing numerous doctors that had no answers to my hip problems, I was referred to Dr. Aviles in November of 2014. He ordered many x-rays and took all the time I needed to explain my diagnosis and discuss the pros and cons of surgery. He suggested and prescribed physical therapy and though it took almost 5 months of exercises, I was completely relieved of my pain with no recurrences since then. I call Dr. Aviles my “miracle doctor”.

Had arthroscopic repair of labral tear. Explained the procedure, the pros and cons as well as expected recovery time, post op functioning, physical therapy, etc..

I was recommended to Dr. Aviles 4 years ago by my physical therapist. I had extreme weakness in my arm / shoulder and limited mobility. After a few non invasive suggestions we headed to surgery. I had tears in the shoulder and bicep. To this day I am happy to say I have all my strength and mobility back. He’s a great surgeon! I’m on my way to having my other shoulder “fixed”. I trust him totally and would recommend family and friends to him in a heart beat!

Dr. Aviles is extremely knoweldgeable. We had our daughter in for an exam and he was able to accurately diagnose her issue immediately. It is relevant to explain our appointment with Dr. Aviles was following an earlier appointment with 2 other professionals in the medical profession. I would HIGHLY reccommend him. The best ortho doctor I have experienced and I personally have a long track record of issues due to my athletic career.
