Dr. Mallempati: 5 stars His staff: 1 star…read more We made an appointment to see Dr. Mallempati in the Pell City location, which by the way, is not easy to find. He's only at this location one day a week, I think, and they use another doctor's office/optometrist (?) facility. There's really nothing that tells you he's there and when you're standing in line to sign in, there's a sign for a dermatology office and another for St. Clair Eye. We had to ask, "Are we in the right place?" So they took us back to a room within a few minutes - less than 30 minutes in the waiting area - and then... more waiting. We ended up waiting almost 2 hours and then finally someone came in and they admitted they totally forgot we were there. Ok, fine. They owned up to it and apologized, it's ok - we can move on from that. Dr. Mallempati was great, very thorough, and great bedside manner. He schedules an MRI and wanted us to come back after for a follow up. MRI was done and we return one week later. This time we saw him in his main location and thankfully, wait time was much better. His nurse practitioner saw us first and she was very thorough, but she interrupted us when we tried to tell her something and we had to make her listen. We saw Dr. Mallempati again, and he was great. He wanted us to schedule a nerve block which would be performed at Surgical Institute of Alabama. We immediately scheduled the nerve block for Dec 23rd, 2025 to be done at Surgical Institute, BUT they (Surgical Institute) would call us the day prior to confirm the time. No food or drink the day of the nerve block (prior to). Also, a 3 week follow up post-nerve block would be scheduled with Mallempati. December 22nd comes and by 3:30 p.m., we still had not received confirmation. We call Surgical Institute and the lady who answered the phone said, "What's your name? Oh yes, we have you down for tomorrow and they WILL be confirming this, but we're just really backed up. But you will hear something." We go to bed at 9 pm, still no word. December 23rd comes and we've taken vacation from work and are sitting here, waiting to hear. At 7:30 a.m., I call Surgical Institute and the lady who answered said rather rudely that that she had no idea what we were talking about, no appointment was scheduled for us. We repeated the story about how someone at her office said we WERE on schedule, and she kept repeating, "You need to call Mallempati's office - no one from there has ever sent us anything to do with your information." I called Tracy, Dr. Mallempati's nurse, and left a voice mail to PLEASE call us ASAP. By 9:30 a.m., we gave up hope and decided to eat/drink since obviously the nerve block wasn't happening. It's April 19th, 2026 and Tracy nor anyone else at OrthoAlabama Spine has yet to call us back. We've been completely ghosted by this facility, as if we were never there. We've told everyone we know to avoid this place - which is sad, because Dr. Mallempati is great.

I don't usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so. After reading other reviews, I…read morealmost cancelled my appointment. Comments mentioned that the wait time was excessive, that Dr. Ocampo was rude, had a poor bedside manner, that they felt rushed during their appointment. I found this to be thoroughly inaccurate. The registration process was fast and efficient. Within 20 minutes, I had been processed, my insurance information had been collected, and I'd had an x-ray. Dr. Ocampo was very pleasant and attentive. I didn't feel rushed in the slightest. He seemed like he had no where else to be, but with me helping me with my issue.

This was actually my second knee replacement with Dr. Bramlett--he performed my right knee replacement back in 2009, and I had such a great experience that I knew I wanted to return to him. After my first surgery, I was back to work within just three weeks, and my family and friends were amazed at how quickly I recovered. This time was no different. My recent surgery went smoothly with no issues at all. I was walking without assistance after just one week, driving again within three weeks, and back to my normal activities after five weeks. Dr. Bramlett is an excellent surgeon, and his staff is just as wonderful--professional, supportive, and caring throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him to anyone considering knee replacement surgery.

I was hopeful that I would finally get relief from my excruciating shoulder pain. After a 2-3 minute visit I was given an injection in my shoulder and another appointment. I called a couple days later and told the nurse I felt no relief. I was told wait 10 days and call back if no improvement. I have called twice and had to leave a message both times. I never received a call back. So disappointed that I have been ignored. Hopefully I can get a referral for another Orthopedic doctor where I am given successful treatment, care and respect. Despite the great reviews by others, I Do Not Recommend Decatur Orthopedic Center.
