Excellent care for hip, knee, & leg pain. Admin & medical staff are courteous & caring. Unlike many orthopedic surgeons, Anderson Clinic physicians are NOT quick to cut. read more

I came Anderson after a referal from our regular orthopedic. My fiance needed a hand specialist to look for underlying causes to his work injury after months of continued issues. We were scheduled with Dr. Rikesh Gandhi who was a complete delight. He was friendly, smiling, knowledgeable and we didn't feel rushed through the appointment and answered all questions that we had. The office once you walk in is inviting the receptionist were friendly and gave great directions. I actually like the fact the waiting room is down the hall and not as you first walk in to make it seem crowded and uninviting. The waiting area has tons of chairs and all the rooms are directly off it as well as the x-ray rooms so you don't need to travel far. Dr. Gandhi's assist was friendly, and assisted with paperwork that was needed along with additional brace that would be needed for night. Overall, a great first impression and will update after our follow-up read more

waste of time. if I could give this place zero stars, I would. I had an appointment but could never get in because the not very helpful or bright receptionist at the front desk of the Fairfax offiice INSISTED that I needed a referral which they told me st the time of my appointment. Not only was that completely inaccurate, they wouldn't even let me in to my appointment if I agreed to pay out of pocket. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to go. read more

There's an old saying we often use...three times a charm! In this case, my surgery with Dr. Robert Sershon was less than an alarm. I have had two prior surgeries with Anderson Clinic surgeons (Dr. Fricka, and Dr. Nagda) and the patient care (pre-op, surgery, and post op) was excellent. However, my most recent hip replacement surgery with Dr. Sershon has been disappointing. Very little patient outreach. Dr. Sershon's team relies too heavily on using Apps to communicate with patients. Therefore, a long time has elapsed since my surgery without any contact from Dr. Sershon or the team. I guess they're busy filling out the payment paperwork!!! go elsewhere for hip replacement surgery. read more

Tried TWICE to make an appointment. Each time I was transferred to three different people before being put on hold for 10-20minutes and never getting picked up again. The first time I called back and was told the staff had gone to lunch. So yeah, put me on hold, told me "bear with me a moment" and left for lunch. Second time I asked a question and was told they had to go to the front desk to check, told "DO NOT hang up. Twenty minutes later and they still hadn't come back. Also was told I'd have to see a PA instead of a doctor for an assessment. It seems the doctors here will only see you if the PA decides you need surgery. I'm wary of trying again with these people. I just want to see a specialist! read more

Went in for a Frozen Shoulder issue. From reception to my appointment with Dr. Hubbard, the experience was exceptional.

I broke my wrist not too long ago - shattered it in fact. It was a brutal ending to a day having fun biking on a BMX track. I got lots of recommendations for Anderson Clinic and it lived up to the hype. They got me into surgery within a week of my accident - I appreciated the blazing speed as it minimized the amount of time I was in a cast. The surgery went well and my bones look good (to my untrained eye anyways). They even had a doctor on call for when I was experiencing intense pain at 3 AM. The administrative staff have always been friendly, scheduling an appointment is easy, and it's great that they have an X-ray machine onsite for convenient updates. I'll personally recommend Dr. Gandhi. He's a young guy and really impressive. Unlike many doctors, he really takes his time during checkups to answer questions, provide advice, and give assurance (or a kick in the pants when needed). He's a good guy and talented surgeon. read more

I had high hopes for the Anderson Clinic knee team to help with the issues & severe pain I've been having, but I have been disappointed with multiple aspects of care. The surgeon I saw said there's nothing they can do for me except keep draining both knees (which they've now done 4 times) & that I should just stop running for the rest of my life (I'm relatively young). The doc who has drained my knees keeps saying he wants to give me a special injection, but after 4 visits & multiple calls to his office, there is still no word on when that can occur. I'm not going back & will get a 2nd opinion from another ortho who comes highly recommended. read more

danni in the billing dept. is extremely rude and i called in to talk about my balance and she was disrespectful. i do not understand why the clinic has her employed there. i absoutely love anderson clinic but she needs to be fired immediately read more

I saw two of the doctors in this practice over the last year - Dr. Gallagher and Dr Hubbard. They seem pleasant and knowledgeable but I have the following issues with this practice: 1. you are immediately taken to X-ray without being told why (and you do not get any imaging report); (ii) the wait times are long (typically longer than the time spent by the doctor to see you); and (iii) the portal is not much use (doctor's notes are not uploaded and you need to request those separately from the care teams). The doctor's notes are also very generic and refer to "thorough physical examinations" while in reality no such exam was performed. I would not recommend going to this place. read more

No one answers the phone. Left messages. No one calls you back. Tried for 3 weeks. I'm having complications after surgery and I can't get a follow up because no one answers the phone. AVOID this place. read more

I had multiple injuries to my ankle and it was awful. I lived with a constant limp and at the end of the night my foot would just hurt. Money spent on PT was useless and did not help. I spent maybe 2 years of just asking around, "who fixes all the celebrities and high profile people?" Finally someone gave me an answer.... Dr. Oliver Schipper. I sat on his name for many more months before grudgingly making the call. My meetings with him were quick as I was scared and nervous. This is only my second surgery! He tried explaining things and i would get light headed. LOL. We just agreed my ankle would be fixed in the end :) Everything from begginning to end felt smooth. I felt like they really care. Surgery felt easy as they use a place specific for needs of the doctor. I never felt like I was lost or forgotten as the place is kept relaxed. No one made me feel like i was in a hurry to get out or an inconvenience of being a patient (unlike my first surgery). Easy access to ask the million questions while going through recovery in their online app. Super responsive. I appreciated this so much. Dr. Schipper even gave me a phone call himself on the weekend to make sure i was okay! read more

Horrible experience all around. I went in for my thumb to be checked out and I got one of the most costly visits ever. They insisted I take an MRI that led to thousands of dollars payment. Charged me $250 for a thumb brace that you can get at CVS for $20. For my final visit, Dr. Gandhi could not get out of the room fast enough maybe spent a total of three minutes in the room with me just to tell me it was nothing and time will heal it. Then I was charged over a $100 for that helpful information. Months later my thumb is still not healed and I am out over $3,000. read more

Dr Nigel Azer and staff are very helpful. Above and beyond expectations. personable service and attention more than any other major large providers where you are a number and they are bound by more restrictive protocols that take away real human interactions and the ability to truly listen and provide customized answers. read more

Have been waiting over 6 MONTHS to get patient notes from this office. Every single turn they do not respond to my emails, give me empty promises over the phone, and never call me back. I have wasted so much time talking to these people with 0 results. Do not go here it's not worth the headache of dealing with their dysfunctional office. read more

I thought Dr. Hubbard was very friendly and personable and basically told me about what I expected, which was fine. Only shocking part was they had me take X rays, which they never once referenced. The only thing that really soured the experience for me was the physicians assistant, or basically the woman who walked me back to my room and asked me about my symptoms. She had seemed very nice and personable as well but then I could hear her crystal clear telling the doctor about my symptoms. They were basically in line with what I had told her but then she decided to add some personal commentary. She let him know "she must not be in that much pain because she was holding her cell phone in that hand" or something right along those lines. I had never claimed to be in serious pain, which she should have known as I told her my symptoms very clearly and had also told her of their significant improvement. Women's health concerns are already taken less seriously in general so to hear such a callous and irrelevant comment from a physician about her opinions of my pain level was honestly kind of hurtful. You can give your opinions all day long, Lauren's of the world, but please do not give them within earshot of the patient if they are rude and dismissive. read more

Shockingly unresponsive. After ordering an MRI "STAT", they finally offered me an appointment to discuss how to treat my meniscus tear almost 3 weeks later after dozens of calls and emails. I wouldn't tolerate this level of accountability from my lawn service - and certainly not from a doctor. WTF. I was only a billing opportunity - not a person. read more

If you suffer from any knee or shoulder pain/issues, Dr Branche is your guy. Be patient if you're given an appointment far out. It'll be worth the wait. His PA Kirstin is wonderful as well. Even though he's a surgeon, he won't push surgery if it isn't what you truly need. The waiting area is always full and they have x-Ray equipment right there - results are instantly relayed to the dr. This location is right off 395, parking is adequate and the elevator takes you directly into the reception area. I only knocked off a star because the in my dozen or so times visiting, the receptionists are always cold, not personable/friendly in any way, and show agitation when asked any question... they just want to hand paper work and collect payment. If it's your first time and you ask to set up a follow up appointment they'll point which way you should walk , without uttering a word. It's a shame... read more

DECEITFUL, FRAUDULENT, and RUDE I have been charged for services I did not received (on top of me asking BEFOREHAND what the costs were/if my insurance covered this and was LIED TO). I have contacted this organization on every single avenue of communication possible. The service is poor to begin with, you get less than 20 minutes with a doctor, and they try to charge you for surgery that was not received. DO NOT GO HERE They delete negative reviews on their website too read more

Dr. Oliver Shipper and his staff are the BEST!!! The office staff was accommodating and helpful on every visit. They ensure to preparing me for the pre, day of, and post-surgery were taken care of. Very patient-focused and extremely helpful. With the latest medical procedure performed, I was walking myself out of the clinic after the surgery. Amazing experience! Dr. Oliver Shipper took the time to explain to me what was being done, how it was being done, and what I should expect. The post-surgery care and attention were like nothing else I have ever experienced. Truly Best of the Best!!!! read more

I'm still recovering from my procedure so I'm using talk to text so please excuse any typos. When you receive a referral to an orthopedic surgeon from your physical therapist, you're obviously going to be nervous and anxious. Walking into my appointment with Dr. Nagda. I was both of those things and also a little sad because I live a very active life and I knew that was going to be severely interrupted. I also knew that I was going to need surgery for my rotator cuff but I didn't know how bad it was going to be. Dr. Nagda came in exuding confidence, compassion, and empathy for my situation. He explained my issues very thoroughly, made sure that I understood what the problem was, and how he intended to fix it. He was kind and funny and immediately put me at ease. When we got to the hospital on the day of the procedure, I can't say that I've ever had a better experience in the healthcare setting. The surgery was at Inova Mount Vernon and from the moment I walked in the door for my both preop appointment, and ultimately the day of the procedure everyone was so kind and accommodating. I was feeling pretty nervous and anxious, and so was my partner. Joel, the RN for my anesthesiologist was amazing. He was so kind and thoughtful and really went out of his way to make both myself and my partner feel at ease. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Sharma, and another RN, Marcus got me prepped and ready for the procedure after explaining very very thoroughly what to expect, and what was going to happen, with empathy and an amazing bedside manner. Marcy, who was the physicians assistant was amazing. And unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the other doctors that was there training for the facility. As I was going under, the last thing I remember was this doctor kneeling down so I could see her and assuring me that she would be there the entire time to make sure that everything was OK and not to worry. I'm getting a little bit emotional just thinking about it because it was such a sweet and kind thing to do. The surgery went off without a hitch as I knew it would as Dr. Nader was such a true professional. Shannon in recovery was so amazing and patient and even laughed at all my terrible jokes as I was coming out of the anesthesia. I can't recommend Dr. Nagda and the Anderson orthopedic clinic as well as Inova Mount Vernon enough to anybody who is going to need orthopedic assistance. As I'm lying here recovering I'm feeling very very grateful for this entire team. read more

I have mixed feeling about the Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic b/c I myself am a physician and I understand what physicians go through. First off, I am not a patient. My mother had both her knees replaced and her hip replaced by Dr. Engh. He is a not the most talkative of physicians, but he definitely gets his point across and knows how to explain things in a way that makes my mom understand what is going on. When accompanying my mother to the office, there was a long wait time. It was so long, I had a five o'clock shadow by the time it was done. I did feel kind of annoyed, but I was ok with it b/c I knew my mom was getting great care. She has had ZERO problems from all her surgeries, and they have truly changed her life. The long wait time is due to the fact that patients ask a lot of questions. At no point did we feel rushed, he spent extra time with my mom, talking about the future and what may happen if she needs revision, since she is fairly young. These are the same questions that my mom asks everytime, and every time Dr. Engh politely and profeesionally answers the questions, without getting annoyed. If patients didn't wait, then there would be complaints that they feel rushed. The docs are kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. I can't comment on the rest of the physicians in the group, but I can tell you that Dr. Andy Engh is a fabulous physician with great hands. My mom swears by him, and has recommended friends that do the same. If it weren't for the horrible wait times, I would definitely have given this a 5 star review. read more

Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic - Orthopedists Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Had an awful experience with Dr. Wallach. Despite the heart felt letters from patients posted in his office and accolades for being a top doctor, the person I met was of a totally different character than what I imagined this person to be. Based on the correspondence I read all over his office, online, and credentials, my expectations for being treated with concern and compassionate care for my issue went out the door when I was greeted with a flippant bed side manner after an X-ray could not be ordered, despite my bringing current images from a recent MRI. Dr. Wallach spoke to me in a tone I considered condescending, arrogant and dismissive. That's a red flag folks. Another red flag I should not have ignored was being pushed to see a PA. If I'm presented with an option to see a PA or the doctor, I will choose the doctor. After all, they gave me a choice, right? Well. As it stands, "this practice is set up so the PA is available sooner than the doctor." Read: The doctor cannot be bothered with issues that his assistants can handle. Sounds to me the practice needs to stop accepting new patients instead of booking appointments with the doctor three months out, and he sends in the PA anyway. But, hey. You do you. Folks, if you want to see a doctor (not a PA) because you have the means and pain tolerance to do so, then you shouldn't have to wait months and months. Find another doctor who wants to see you, treats you with respect, and will care for you. Don't wait for this doctor; he's not pleasant, and you can get the same level of disrespect free of charge from drivers on I-95. read more

Dr C Anderson Engh Jr (Dr Andy Engh) was among one of the surgeons I consulted with for a needed surgery. As I asked questions nicely, he suddenly became extremely rude and provided no answers. I was confused - why was he so mad? Was it because I asked questions? Or because I had consulted with another doctor before seeing him (which is a wise/normal thing to do)? His attitude was very hurtful. I left that place feeling totally puzzled. After that, I chose a wonderful surgeon in Arlington, VA, for my surgery, and I'm forever grateful for his skills and caring bedside manner. So, no, I'd never recommend Dr Engh to anyone. read more

I have been to Dr Wallach several times since 2012. Don't understand the nasty comments! I have had good experiences for all visits and spinal injections. He is a confident guy who may come across as arrogant to some people. read more

Dr Branche has been wonderful to work with. The office staff and the office manager are not. They were going through some turnover during my preop process so I had to keep on top of things by resending information and making additional calls. The wait time on calls is ridiculous. The front office staff is extremely rude. My surgery went well except for the fact that I told them I had an allergy to tape. Of course they used take that was not hypoallergenic so I got a rash. I had extreme pain after PT the next day. My nerve block had probably worn off by then too. I explained that to the office manager, Sharon. She told me to use my crutches and to ice. Brilliant idea--why didn't I think of that? I asked for a stronger med to get me through the next couple of days and I was treated like a drug seeker. I was having 10/10 pain and the following day my PT sent me to the ER for a blood clot. Thankfully no blood clot. Not everyone is a drug seeker, and everyone experiences pain differently. I haven't had pain pill since 2015. My BP was over 200 when I went to the ER. She never followed up with me. I like Dr. Branche, but all the extra drama and bull crap I could definitely live without. There are plenty of excellent orthopedic offices out there that will actually listen to their patients while providing them with exceptional care. read more

About a year ago I had both of my hips replaced by Dr. McCasey - the surgery was done at the Mt Vernon Hospital in Alexandria, VA. The surgery itself went smoothly without a hitch and within about 4 weeks I was walking without a cane, and at 6-weeks biking. I initially was VERY concerned about having both hips replaced at once, but I am so glad that I did. My groin pain is gone and I have a full range of motion. Best of all, I don't need another surgery! I liked that fact that during my recovery I had an app on my phone so that if I had a question someone from Anderson clinic always answered. Truly top notch care. The testament to Dr. McCasey's work is that in June of 2020 - about 10-months after surgery - I fell off my bike riding riding close to 20MPH right onto my hip. Massive raspberry and bruise but no other problems. He did a truly fantastic job. Best of all, he's a really a good guy and easy to talk to; highly recommended! read more

I saw Dr. Branche after I twisted my knee. He's super busy so originally I saw his PA (Kristin) who is also very nice since he's very popular & good at his job. I had a MRI which confirmed I had torn my ACL. Dr. Branche did a great job explaining my options, risks, setting expectations, etc. He told me that surgery was minor part of the process & to only go through if I had the time to dedicate to the rehab, which would be lengthy (and it was!). The surgery was excellent - I barely have a scar & minimal pain/bruising given the procedure he performed. During follow-up visits, he was very patient & helped steer me in the right direction after I initially struggled with rehab (poor PT). I'm grateful I had him as my surgeon - his bedside manner was excellent & he conveys important information well. His front desk is busy but I never had any major issues with scheduling or billing. read more

I understand that doctors offices get backed up from time to time but a 45 minute lag is unacceptable. It angers me that in every other industry there are consequences for poor service but in the medical industry us patients just have to suck it up because our time is less worthy. To add to this, when I left, rather than refund my co-pay, they offered to make a note to transfer the co-pay to a new appointment that I stupidly decided to book. Upon calling to cancel said new appointment, because my hand feels better, I'm getting all kinds of lip to refund my copay. Unprofessional. read more

Be aware! I went because of a knee issue, Dr, Hubbard spent about 2 minutes with me and sent me home with devices that were incredible expensive and did not help in any way. All I ended up with was a huge bill as my insurance did not cover all. Check if you can get devices elsewhere first! read more

Back in May 2018, starting having locking to my right knee while in Barre classes. I continue to work out on my knee until the swelling and pain became unbearable. At this time, I already had experience with the Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic, Dr. Walsh and his staff for two herniated disc in C-6 and C-7. They put me on a medical plan with PT and Injections to relieve the pain. Having this experience decided to stay in the network and find a knee doctor. They schedule me to see Dr. Nigel Azer, and it was history from there. He is the most descriptive and explains procedures and injuries in the clearest way possible to understand. He schedule for a MRI and the results came back as Osteochondritis Dissecan. Which mean there is a lesion on the femur bone. At this time he suggest micro fracture surgery, and I trusted him to set a date as soon as possible. The comfortability him and his staff makes you feel, knows you are in good hands. Surgery day came and he was very responsive and compassion about not prescribing me a high dose of Narcotics due to my past experiences with the drugs. Surgery went well and couldn't weight bear for the first six weeks, went for a check up and was progressing. Finally, I was able to start weight bearing a bit, but still needed crutches for another four weeks. After about almost two months with crutches I was able to stop using them. They prescribed me a heavy duty brace and ordered me to PT. After, six weeks in PT was able to start working out at Barre. Had a flare up and called the office, they accommodated me to be seen by his PA Casey. She is very supportive and encouraging and prescribed a inflammation medication, which helped with the swelling. I still have up and down days, but its a journey having any kind of surgery. It's been almost a year and I can't express the gratitude I have for Dr. Azer and his staff, getting me back almost fully to my potential physically. They all go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, and reassure you that it's going to be okay. Even Ebony is amazing and great at what she does. Thank you so much, Dr. Nigel Azer and staff!!! read more

Please don't go there! Find another doctor and staff that treat you with respect and that are caring with patients. After several calls, waiting on the phone for hours (they hung me 3 times, very rude), and begging to talk to at least with a nurse (never happened), I realized I will never return to this practice. read more

I have a long relationship with Anderson Orthopaedic and I read some of the reviews and wanted to share my experience. I am an uber young patient that needed hip replacement for a slipped femoral epiphysis. The first thing to know is that these guys are in two places- Arlington and Mt Vernon. The Mt. Vernon facility is the place to go for hip or knee join replacement. But I got all my post surgery physical therapy at the Arlington location because it was much closer to my work. As someone mentioned the parking at the Arlington location is terrible. The doctors are in two places, and the admin staff in the two places don't seem to communicate much , so if seen in one place, you might have to explain your entire situation to the staff in the other office if you want something at the other location. The very first time I went there, I saw Dr Frika in Mt Vernon who directly recommended a hip replacement. I decided I wasn't ready for that and I wanted a second opinion. The good thing about this group is that they support research- I felt good about them because it seems like they are committed to learning and staying current with the latest science. So I went to see another one of the Anderson physicians- Dr John Albrigo who works out of the Arlington office. The first time I saw Albrigo, he sent me to Tennesee to have hip arthroscopy. Subsequent to that surgery, I was no better (surgery showed I had no cartilage left). My second trip to Dr. Albrigo, he ordered a storied injection for the hip. I got that done at Inova Alexandra. A month later I was no better and went back to Albrigo requesting the hip replacement. He told me he wouldn't do it because I was "too young." I was in a haze of Celebrex and Ultram for a couple months and decided that I couldn't go on any longer and that I was ready for the replacement. Back to Dr Fricka. Fricka works out of the Mt Vernon office. He is very professional, when I went back to him a year later (after getting the second opinion from his partner) he was totally cool about it and happy to accommodate my request for surgery. He did a great job with the surgery. He is neat and clean and I was very happy with the surgery he did. The Inova Mt Vernon hospital is recognized as a center of excellence for joint replacement, so if that is what you need, I'd recommend going to the Mt Vernon office and getting them to take care of you. Mt Vernon Inova and Dr Fricka have a beautiful thing going on. They were coordinated and organized. I recommend Dr Fricka to anyone need knee or joint replacement. read more

Few words can describe the lack of professionalism in this house of horrors. Appointments may run 2hrs behind schedule but since you are about to meet "God" because the arrogance of the doctors can only be interpreted as their personal belief that they are above reproach. The front desk is impolite and hard to understand because they have difficulty between chewing gum and attending to patients. In summary, save yourself from the torment and go somewhere else. read more

One Wednesday the 24th I presented for my appointment after waiting a month to see Dr. Wallach. It just so happened earlier that morning I had an extreme flare up of pain and went to my appointment anyway. After waiting for 35 mins to be called back, the PA spent some time with me and she could tell I was in obvious pain, she also mentioned how swollen and tight my back looked and felt. She took a brief history and asked that I take an xray while waiting. She seemed kind and interested in helping me... For a moment, I had hope that I would actually receive the 2nd opinion I so desperately need. Unfortunately, that all changed when the doctor walked into the room. He introduced himself and then immediately told me I needed to get off my pain meds! This was in the first 45 seconds of meeting the "doctor". Now, a person presents to the office in extreme pain and that was his first recommendation. The doctor did not take time to ask about my procedural or surgically history. He simply harped on my prescription meds and told me he wouldn't give me any more meds... Have I mentioned, I didn't ask for meds, wasn't there for medication, and I, myself never mentioned any medications. I attempted to explain to the doctor that I work as an addiction counselor and know the impact of long term medications. I also stated, that I hadn't asked for meds.... I am asking for a 2nd opinion as to treatment options. He said to me, "how would I know that?"... I said, "you could ask me about my history about what I know - versus telling what you know"... He then said to me, while since you know so much, can you read that xray? What kind of challenge was that? I never said I was a doctor, I said I was educated and informed about medications due to my profession. The doctor continued to cut me off, berate me, and then tell me my reaction was inappropriate and that I was sensitive. He also mentioned that "he didn't have to help me".... Now, I ask what kind of doctor behaves that way and says those things to a patient who is in obvious pain??? A patient who was in need of assistance and help regarding a ongoing, chronic issue. I was dumbfounded, belittled, and upset. When I was able to interrupt the doctor, who in my opinion has a God complex, he cut me off dismissing what I was saying and the other diagnosis I have been given by doctors... Now remember, he didn't once ask about my history - so how would he know the symptoms I have been experiencing? He wouldn't. In my opinion, Dr. Wallach is a man who only wants to see you if surgery is THE option. He is not interested in helping but only increasing his revenue. He is not kind or compassionate - unless you are prepared and are going under the knife. I have never had such a bad experience with a doctor. I left that appointment in tears, not only because I was in pain. But, also because I felt verbally abused during the appointment. He is a mean, condescending man who doesn't listen to his patients, could care less about knowing them, and will constantly remind you - he knows everything because he is the DOCTOR!!! read more

I really appreciate how Dr. Hubbard handled our appointment. He was efficient, prompt, patient and was able to empathize. Gave us all the info we needed, answered all our questions and did his best to help us out with our situation (a third party taking care of billing). He was patient as I had to translate for my dad about his condition and options. It's really hard to find a doc that is capable of empathizing with their clients and objectively take care of their needs and I think dr. Hubbard has a good balance of it. read more

This has been one of the worst experiences at a "doctor's office" that I've ever had. The only thing that would make it right is if the doctor personally called me himself and made another appointment and saw me ON TIME. I was scheduled to see Dr. Nagda at 3:15 today for my frozen right shoulder. I arrived early to do the first visit paperwork because no one ever e-mailed me any forms like they've done for other patients. I brought my records from my previous surgeon and a MRI on DVD that I had done last week. After 30 minutes, I was called to a room in the back. However, I sat and sat and sat and sat. It was now 4:50 p.m. Yes folks... more than an hour and a half past my APPOINTMENT time and I still had not seen a glimpse of Dr. Nagda. I left the room and asked the staff for my MRI DVD back. When I do, I hear "you sure you don't wanna wait a few more minutes... you'll be next?" No. No I don't. As a matter of fact, I can't. As it is now, my daughter is going to be late to her 5:30 practice. As I'm leaving the office, I hear a guy in the lobby ask if Dr. Nagda was here today. The staff member asks the man if he has an appointment. Wait. What? Don't you know why the people in your lobby are there? Anyway... he tells her he had a 4:00 appointment. I turn around and tell him and his wife that I had a 3:15 appointment and still had not been seen and am now leaving. Sooooo frustrated. It took WEEKS to get the appointment. I show up early with everything I am supposed to have. For what? I wasted time off work, gas, time. 15-20 minutes... okay... that I understand. But, NEARLY TWO HOURS? Yes doctors. OUR time is just as valuable as yours. If we show up an hour and a half late, we wouldn't be seen. Now in search of a good ortho surgeon for shoulders in a practice that doesn't over book patients. read more

DR BRANCH IS THE BEST! He performed an ACL surgery on me and my recovery time was incredibly fast. My father was so impressed with my results he decided to have Dr. Branche check out his knee. I had been to two Drs including my primary who said my ACL was fine..... DR branch took one look and within less than 30 seconds knew i had a torn ACL. He was right too. He offered to run an MRI if I wasnt convinced (but he sure was) and he was DEAD on. My knee is doing great now. Thanks Dr. Branche. read more

Dr Azer was my surgeon for both of my hip replacements. He is amazing. He is a fantastic surgeon and a wonderfully caring individual. He takes time with his patients, explains everything and answers all the questions. I went from using a cane prior to surgery to fully recovered in 12 weeks. I know the elevator is slow and the building is old. However, that is not how I pick my physician. I highly recommend Dr Azer and his medical staff. read more
