His consistent professionalism and expertise made both experiences smooth and successful. Highly recommend him for orthopedic care!

It was such a pleasant surprise to go to an office that was not over crowded and the front staff were friendly and helpful. (I used a different orthopedic group for foot surgery and experienced large, overcrowded waiting rooms, long lines for checking in and out, and late appointments.) ATX Orthopedics treats you like you are a very special patient and not just a number! When I met Dr. Gallagher, I could tell he was very knowledgeable in the field of orthopedics and after he looked at my knee x-rays recommended knee replacement surgery. I told him I could not live with the pain anymore and was ready to take the next step. He told me he uses a method of pain management that helps speed in the recovery of his patients. I was referred to a pain management specialist who deadened some of the nerves around my knee a week prior to surgery. This procedure was relatively painless and enabled me to have knee surgery, at Pinnacle day surgery, and go home the same day! I couldn't believe I was walking with a walker the same day as my surgery and sleeping in my own bed. If you follow his instructions and do the exercises, go to physical therapy, and take the prescribed medications you will be on the road to recovery before you know it! It has been a month since my surgery and because Dr. Gallagher is an innovative, caring surgeon I am well on my way to keeping up with my grandchildren again.

    Not very impressed with this office at all…read more First - There is zero parking available. (The worst I've ever seen at a doctor's office). People were circling, and alot were parked illegally, even in the grass. I was forced to park next door at all the retail shops, even though there were a ton of signs saying they'd tow. Not really a great first impression. Second - My appointment with Dr. Meghpara felt very rushed, and was not near as thorough as other doctor's I've seen (and what I would require to consider it a worthwhile visit). It was my fault for not getting x-rays from another doctor over in time before my appointment (the office didn't remind me to bring any, and I honestly just didn't think about it until a few days before). I did bring my MRI images and report, and he basically said he had no use for those. I asked if we should take another X-ray at the office, so that he could see my current state, and he basically said it wasn't necessary. He also had me do only a few movements in the office (totaling about 10 seconds) to test out my pain, whereas two other doctors had alot more comprehensive exam. He then proceeded to give me his opinion without examining any x-rays or (from what it seemed) the MRI CDs I had brought in. He just went off of what I told him my situation was, what my last doctor had said (a few weeks before), and basically agreed with that assessment. At this point I was just ready to leave, as I was already disappointed and knew that he is not a doctor I would return to. I wish I would've just avoided going there for another opinion, and wasting $80.

    The actual care might have been fine, but the fact that they do not have an opt-out of email…read morenotifications actually IN the emails they send is unacceptable. I had to waste my time calling and being on hold for more than a minute to talk to a person to get taken off the list. In this day and age there is no reason for that.

    Parents, please be aware…read more My 22-year-old daughter was seen at Texas Orthopedics for a broken ankle. At her second appointment -- just 10 days after the fracture -- Dr. Robert Blais asked about her pain level. She explained that she was still experiencing significant pain. At that point, he stated he was concerned she could have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). We were stunned. It had been 10 days since a confirmed broken bone. From what we understand, pain at that stage is not unusual. While waiting for imaging, my daughter searched CRPS online. She discovered it is sometimes referred to as the "suicide disease" because of the severe, chronic pain associated with advanced cases. By the time we left the appointment, she was in tears -- terrified that she was facing a life-altering diagnosis. Whether CRPS should or should not have been mentioned that early is a medical judgment. What is not debatable is the emotional impact of introducing a severe, worst-case condition to a 22-year-old patient so soon after a routine fracture -- without clear context about probability, diagnostic criteria, or reassurance. The result was immediate and profound distress. Physicians absolutely have a duty to consider complications. They also have a responsibility to communicate carefully, proportionately, and with awareness of the psychological impact their words carry. This was our experience. Parents and patients: ask questions. Ask about likelihood. Ask about timing. Ask whether a concern is common, rare, or simply precautionary. And if something feels disproportionate, seek a second opinion. Advocacy matters.

    I was referred to Dr. Saldanha from another Orthopedic Surgeon, because my knee was not getting…read morebetter. The referring physician was no longer doing knee replacements, so I made my appointment and sort of braced myself for the worst. Some doctors are brash, He was incredibly easy to talk to, he asked if I was OK with having PAs in the room, he looked at my X-rays, and did an exam. He was very kind when he said "Do you feel how this is moving?" (Oh, yes, I was aware!) "It's time." He didn't push, he wasn't unkind, or using a lot of jargon that went over my head; he listened to my questions and answered them with thoughtfulness and consideration. He explained why he used the Mako robotic arm to assist him in doing the least amount of damage to the interior of my leg, and that since he'd tried it, he'd never gone back. Personally, I like to know the "why" of a physician's decision. It took a few cancelled times to get into the hospital - completely not his fault. His office kept me up to date to the best of their ability, and when it finally came to be - well, it was a really dramatic difference. I can't really tell you about the surgery or the room it was done in, other than to saay I think there was a lot of white. I did have some issue with drainage for about 10 days and pain control the first two nights. For what all the surgery entailed, that's nothing. When I needed help with the drainage, I was squeezed in to figure out an alternative way of controlling the fluids. Then I was sent to a wound care specialist, not left on my own to try and mummy wrap my leg. That was in incredible held. Within a week - I felt comfortable walking my house without a walker. I could stand long enough to throw together something simple to eat. I was able to move around the house, and slowly work up to more of my normal tasks. I'm in Physical Therapy now, and Dr. Saldanha is happy with my range of motion. My scars are already fading, and I expect them to be almost invisible in a few months. When I ask questions, I get answers, not a pat on the head and a "Let me worry about that for you." If I needed to do this all over tomorrow - if the joint were to be recalled or something equally critical, so long as Dr. Saldanha was doing the surgery, I'd be on my way to the hospital tonight.

    We had a very concerning experience with Dr. Vilas Saldanha (Texas Orthopedics), on-call at St…read more David's Round Rock Medical Center, during my 93-year-old mother's treatment after a fall. Dr. Saldanha did not directly communicate with my mother at any point during her hospitalization. He never greeted her or spoke to her, and all communication was directed to me, even though she was the patient. That set the tone for the entire experience. After a closed reduction, she was provided a shoulder immobilizer, but only the sling portion was applied. The abduction pillow component was not used or explained, and there was confusion among hospital staff and physical therapy about how the full device was meant to be used. As a result, she effectively wore only the sling for about three weeks, with no clear written instructions or proper guidance on its use. No physical therapy instructions were provided. Physical therapy later contacted Dr. Saldanha's office and was told she could begin weight-bearing exercises on the knee that had been described as having a "cracked patella." No PT was recommended for her shoulder. At follow-up, the physician assistant said the knee was "chipped," stopped the exercises, and asked whether a knee brace had been provided (it had not). He indicated a small stability brace could still be helpful. At the same visit, we were told her shoulder had become misaligned again. Shoulder replacement was briefly mentioned by the PA but immediately dismissed with the comment that "we wouldn't want her to not wake up from surgery." Despite the worsening alignment, the treatment plan remained unchanged, except that she could now "dangle her arm," and we were told to return in four weeks. We sought an immediate second opinion. That orthopedist found the shoulder was severely damaged with multiple fractures and required urgent reverse shoulder replacement with CT planning. We were also told the knee was already beyond the window for intervention. After a thorough evaluation, surgery was performed, and I'm happy to say she is now recovering well. The difference in evaluation, communication, and clarity between the two experiences was striking. In our experience, this was not appropriate care for a medically vulnerable elderly patient, and I would not recommend this physician for elderly patients or similar cases.
