I consulted this practice about 10 years ago for back pain. They took X-rays and told me that Ill benefit from injections since they were able to see some protrusion of one of the discs in my spine. I was in a lot of pain so I agreed. After that injection I never felt well. I went back about 5 months later because I didnt know nor I was informed anything about the injections. They reviewed my X-rays again and now they discovered a linear fracture (It should have been there before, why wasnt identified until the day of my second visit?). More injections. They hurt like hell. These injections didnt work. Six months ago (Jan 2018) I went back to see a new physician in the practice. He asked for new MRIs, I complied, he saw the results and asked me to come back to see the surgeon. Came back and the surgeon needed additional MRIs. In my mind Im starting to see $$$$$. Although I have insurance, I have a high copay and high deductible (not by choice, it was the only option offered at work). To make long story short: I have been to this practice countless times, I had paid tremendous amount of money and the time spent going back and forth and waiting in the waiting room could be measured in weeks. Now you have to go 30 minutes early even if you will be seen one hour + after the time your appointment is scheduled. Now there are about 8 Doctors and 4-5 PACs. I have seen them all. Everybody has different opinion and different approach. Nobody wants to take responsibility to discuss a plan of action or treatment with me. Believe me, Im not a difficult person, this is the first negative feedback I write. Avoid aggravations, save time and money and perhaps your life. But if you are in need of orthopedic care, go somewhere else. The last thing I wanted to leave on records is in reference to something more serious. In one of the MRIs they requested this year, it was reported that I had some dark spots in the base of my brain that required additional studies. Did they call me? Did they inform me in any way? NO. It was my PCP who received a copy of the images that I gave her who called me very alarmed and requested additional studies. I lost confidence, trust and patience with this practice. Best of luck to you.
