I was referred to Orthopedic Associates of Central Texas (OACT) by St. David's North Austin Medical…read moreCenter. The surgery went well, and I was treated very courteously and respectfully. They were on time with my follow-up appointment and did not make me wait a long time. They are very busy, but the surgeon took the time to answer all of my questions. They also immediately emailed my x-rays to me when I requested them. The wi-fi in their office worked really well, and they have a sign with the password. The online patient portal was also easy to use, and they are good about communicating appointments. They also send plenty of text message as reminders of appointments. They are conveniently located right off of 620 behind St. David's Round Rock Medical Center hospital. I recommend OACT if you need an orthopedic specialist.

I liked Dr. Valastro's bedside manner and figure he's a good doctor. That being said, I could not…read moreget a call back from his nurse or him after 3 attempts. I needed help with mobility and where to find the device he prescribed and was clear about needing a call back on my voicemails. The third time I called, I told the receptionist I was very unhappy about not having any calls returned and that I wanted to leave a message for Dr. Valastro specifically. She sent me to what sounded like an unmanned voicemail and I got no call back. My PCP called Dr. Valastro's office after I complained to her about it and her office told me they didn't get a response from him or his nurse either. Ironically, I called to cancel my appointment and let them know I'm switching to a doctor who will help me and their system hung up on me after about 10 seconds. A doctor (and nurses) who aren't there to answer any questions or help me find and correctly use assistive devices they prescribe are not worth seeing in my book.

It…read morewas not terrible, but I love to play basketball and since it seemed to gradually be getting worse I decided to go to the doctor. I met with Dr. Szerlip at Austin Shoulder Institute after waiting a full hour after the time I had booked the appointment. Szerlip rushed into the room, seemed totally uninterested in explaining what might be the problem, and recommended Physical Therapy. He rushed out without giving much chance to ask any questions. After a month of physical therapy with no improvement, I went back and again Szerlip was running an hour behind schedule. Even though I had to wait all this time, he was very rushed when I saw him. He recommended an MRI for the shoulder - the results showed nothing structurally wrong with the shoulder. He said there was nothing he could do. He implied I was a wimp for coming in at all. He said if I was a professional athlete people would be questioning why I was not playing. Thanks for nothing Dr. Szerlip. I strongly recommend patients find another Doc.

I worked for a physician's front office for 6 years and they would always follow up on tests done without having the patient needing to remind and call the office for results.

I wish I had called Dr. Putney 5 years sooner!

Due to circumstances I had to move to Austin and continued to make 200 mile trips to see him rather than try to find treatment in Killeen where his office is. Needless to say I required a refill on the pain relieving medication that I had been on for 2 months. He flatly told me that I would have to pick up the prescription at his office (200 miles) because his office did not want to buy the licencing to call in the prescription to a pharmacy in Austin. When I expressed my displeasure he stated that i was abusive to his office help. I would not recommend ever seeing this cheapskate(John Duggan jr.) for anything.

It only took one appointment to win me over. Dr. Reese and Andrew are amazing. Dr. Reese loosens the tightened muscle knots, and it hurts while he's doing it, but it feels amazing once he's done. Then Andrew leads me through stretches and exercises to loosen and then strengthen the muscles to prevent the tightness from happening again. Both men are kind and genuinely interested in making their patients better as well as chatting about our everyday lives. I feel valued as a person while I am being treated for my pain. They helped me so much that I took my oldest son there to see if they could help with a hip injury he experienced over 10 years ago. After a few sessions, his injury no longer bothered him. This was after years of going to chiropractors and physical therapists for years and never getting complete relief.

After only three adjustments, my chronic back pain was completely GONE! No more pain pills and no more quack chiropractors for me! Airrosti had effectively cured all of my back troubles that brought me years of torment. From time to time, I'll end up doing something whacky to my back and the pain will return, but after an adjustment or two from Dr. Reass, I'm good to go again! Seriously, I cannot recommend Airrosti enough. It literally changed my life.
