I was led to believe that I would see someone knowledgeable about necks and spines - the dr that I saw informed us immediately that he was a sports medicine doctor and didn't really know much about neck and spine issues.

He told me a foot doc would come in. Because I have to have foot surgery before they can fix my knee. NO foot doctor came. He said I was getting an anti-inflammatory shot. NO SHOT WAS GIVEN. The nurse acted like I was crazy when I asked about the foot doctor. I was in alot of pain, and left in more pain. I needed that shot. And I needed to see a foot doctor to speed up the process of surgery on my missing joint. All in all, the car was mediocre. The nursing staff were very sweet and helpful. They helped keep my daughter and granddaughter occupied. One of them thought she was on drugs, tho. She should be educated enough to k ow better.

Good experience. When she saw my swollen calves and ankles, the doctor insisted on making an appointment with me immediately for Ortho now. The doctor at Ortho now after looking at my feet and ankles immediately got compression socks for me. I had thoughtful and immediate care for which I was grateful.
