After experiencing a significant shoulder injury, I recently completed five months of physical…read moretherapy with Ortho Virginia at their Blacksburg, VA location. I can say the injury was not only the source of intense pain for me but also taught me to be patient as well as serving up a healthy dose of humility! The therapists that worked with me provided not only the health and physical support I needed but also counselled/advised me with long term exercises that will assist me for the years to come. I regained 80% of mobility and most of my strength back in my dominant shoulder/arm when the initial assessment was hopeful for a 50% return in mobility. I will forever be grateful for the therapists who helped me recover and am now able to lead a life with very few limitations! My experience with Ortho Virginia was very positive.

The worst healthcare experience for the simplest of procedures that I've ever had. I get Durolane…read moreinjections in a knee. I ve been getting them for 3 years. The injection was ordered. After not hearing from them in a week I called and asked the status of my injection. I was told Humana had not authorized the shot. Boldly I asked them the reference number on the order and called up Humana to see why the shot had not been approved. I talked to a Humana pharmacist and was told they do not require prior authorization for my injection. I called Ortho back and the surgical med nurse told me share would check to see if it was there. Then called me back. Waited all day. Abby never called me back. Before closing called back, Destiny patched me to Abby. Abby said she never called me back b/c she couldn't find out if the injection was actually there. This time she promised me she'd call me back. It's been 11 days since my initial appointment. My knee, guess, still hurts, and I can't even find out if my injection has been ordered. I asked them once why they couldn't keep the injections in stock. Durolane. I was told it was an expensive injection and the shelf life was very short . I looked that up and found out the shelf life is 2 years. Don't tell me they have 6 doctors who see up to 50 patients a day, and they can't find another patient to give a Durolane injection to. Within a 2 year period. You call over there and an A I Bot takes over. I've been put on hold for over 30 minutes 3 times. Bottom line it's going on almost two weeks and they can't tell me anything. I was patched through to the fourth person once, and still didnt get answers. If you talked to for example Lori, and then request Lori again, you get put on hold and then you will wait 30 minutes, if you then opt to leave Lori a message, you get an answering machine saying that your return call would come in 24 to 48 hours. So already you are pushed out another 1 or 2 days. I completely see why they receive an average of 2 stars but I can't go that high. My experience has been one star.

**** 1/2 stars, Blacksburg office located near Chistiansburg and Radford. Blacksburg office was…read morelarge and fully functional. I selected this practice since I could be seen for an initial eval the day after getting my MRI results. Also, they took our insurance coverage. 1st eval was by Dr. Siegel's PA, who is specially trained in Ortho. She consulted by phone w/ the doctor who was in surgery that day at the hospital. Since the diagnose was ligament damage, a rupture, surgery would be needed for a repair. I came back next day for a surgical consult w/ Dr, Siegel. I was scheduled with-in 3 days for surgical repairs. He does a lot of sports injuries as well as the other Ortho type of problems/repairs. Doc Siegel has an ebullient (Adjective: Cheerful and full of energy) personality ( a good thing) and a direct manner. He answered my questions with information, also a "good thing". Would I recommend Dr. Siegel to family and friends? Yes. Operation went well at MRHosp, but that's a diff review! :) Lots of exam rooms and pleasant waiting area. The equipment seems adequate and the support staff was friendly. Be on time since they kept to their schedule when I was there. The location is functional and clean. There is parking right out front and a ramp to the door. No self opening door so bring a friend to help if you are on crutches, or wheel chair.

Unfortunately, most people if not all people that use Dr. Handy's services isn't by choice but…read morethose that do are definitely blessed. I first met Dr. Handy and his assistant PA Paul at Moses Cone while I laid in the emergency room in excruciating pain after (in short) falling off a house. Dr. Handy is the head of Traumatic Orthopedic Surgeons in the area and in my opinion is well suited for that role. After some meds, they took a few minutes to relocate my elbow. Sent me for X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. The next day they had me scheduled for elbow replacement surgery which due to the severe damage took several hours. Their bedside manner was great and the instructions of what and how the plans were was easily to understand even to someone as in pain and on meds as I was. They did a phenomenal job. Since the surgery, I have been to the office once (11 days later). They removed the cast, took more X-rays, removed the stitches, and set me up for physical therapy. Eleven days, that's how good they are. I love their attitudes and personality. I don't want another issue like this but if it happens I'll be requesting Dr. Handy personally. Now, unfortunately I may have to have shoulder surgery in the near future for the same fall but Dr. Handy will only be making the call if I do, another surgeon would be performing it. I know and trust Dr. Handy to make the right call. **My only complaint or concern is the length of time it took to get my FMLA papers completed and returned to my workplace. However, I didn't deduct a star for this for the simple reason the office has been short staffed for two weeks and they've did the best they could.
