He's greatly helped the problem that will be having surgery for a total repair. I like him. I trust him. I feel like we're a team for my care and we have a plan for my surgery. I was referred by another specialist who highly respects Dr. Ardoin. I knew he had to be good. But, it always speaks volumes when I discuss Dr. Ardoin's plan of care with my family full of doctors and post-doc medical researchers. EVERY ONE OF THEM says, "That's a very smart guy. I'd let him operate on my foot with no hesitation!" Enough said. He's great

I made an appointment with OrthoArkansas on Tuesday for an MRI Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. When…read moreI scheduled it, I specifically asked for the address because I needed to know where I was going. I was told, "Don't worry about it, you'll get a text." Well, I never got that text. The only message I received was about my follow-up appointment. By the time I realized Tuesday evening that I still had no idea where my 7 a.m. MRI was, it was after 5 p.m. I called, but everything was closed and Ortho Urgent Care wasn't answering their phone. I had already left work and driven home, but ended up getting back in my car and driving to an Ortho Urgent Care location just so someone could tell me where I was supposed to go the next morning. Maybe if someone had answered the phone, I wouldn't have had to spend my evening driving around town trying to find out where my own appointment was. When I got there, the woman I spoke with acted like it was a huge inconvenience for me to ask for the information about my own appointment. I wasn't asking for anything complicated--I literally just needed to know where I was supposed to show up at 7 a.m. because the information I was told would be sent to me never was. I finally get home, set my alarm for 6:15 a.m., and go to bed. When I woke up at 6:15 a.m., I discovered they had sent me a text at 5:30 a.m. saying I needed to arrive 30 minutes before my 7 a.m. appointment. Apparently I was supposed to receive this rather important information while I was asleep. So now I'm rushing. I get to the address, realize it doesn't look like the location I had seen online, call, and discover GPS has taken me to the wrong place. I finally make it to the correct location, already stressed from this entire scavenger hunt, only to be greeted with more attitude at the front desk. I was handed paperwork on a clipboard. My hands were already full with my wallet, keys, sunglasses, and phone. The receptionist told me to take the paper but give her back the clipboard and pen. I set the clipboard and pen on the desk, and she stood there with her hand raised, apparently expecting me to physically hand them to her. At that point, I couldn't help thinking: Wouldn't it have been easier to just take the clipboard, pen, and paper, remove the paper yourself, and hand it back to me? Or just let me hand you the clipboard when I was done? Minus the attitude. The MRI itself wasn't the problem. The communication and customer service leading up to it were unnecessarily frustrating. If you schedule someone for a 7 a.m. appointment, they should not have to drive around town the night before trying to figure out where they're supposed to go, be made to feel like an inconvenience for asking, and then receive important arrival instructions at 5:30 a.m. the morning of the appointment. A little clear communication--and a little kindness--would have made this an entirely different experience.

Her exact words "You can wait over a month for another appointment, and you can get a prescription at that time." I need hip replacement surgery. If you don't care that I'm working, and in severe pain, and cannot sleep, then maybe you are in the wrong business. My first visit, I saw a male nurse practitioner, who led me to believe he was the doctor. Second appointment I told them I wanted to see a real doctor. I saw Dr. Newbern, that was mid-April. I haven't been able to get another appointment, and my prescription ran out late May. I'm told I just have to wait until sometime in September. They obviously have no compassion.

OR if they were had , patient needs were completely ignored. A physician/department head who lies about previous encounters with you perhaps not on purpose but because he truly cannot remember anything individual about his patients. He quoted conversations he believes we had that literally never took place. My husband can verify this. An LPN team member who somehow has the ability to advise you on your narcotic intake. I truly thought that privilege belonged to physicicians, PA's and Residents. This LPN advised me to double my pain meds. Which made me run out quicker leaving me with deep muscle pain and a suggested treatment option on my part that this physician immediately shot down without even a phone call to my GP. My discharge orders included no review of when to resume my daily medications for other healthcare problems. A truly horrible, painful experience from beginning to end. One more minor yet vexxing matter I had requested a soft diet from Dietary because I left my dentures at home for safekeeping. I received fried chicken for lunch with an extra crispy piece of toasty garlic bread. Is this entire facility tone deaf? Additionally as a Fibromyalgia patient going in for surgery, there were absolutely no conversations about special pain needs. Make sure you bring up sufficient post-surgical pain care because he will not. I saw Dr. Barnes 3 times. At my initial visit with my husband. I found Dr. Barnes distant and difficult to engage in discussion. He was dismissive of my MRI which did show a torn labrum but while my MRI was "not thevworst he had seen" he suggested we proceed as it might hurt more because of the Fibro. That was literally our only conversation about Fibro. He then told me I needed to lose weight and he left. I did not see him again until months later the morning of my surgery where he assured me all would be fine. He is not particularly warm and fuzzy and reassuring. I then saw him very early the next morning on his rounds whereupon he playfully grabbed the surgical leg and again assured me all would be fine. It was not fine. My pain levels were not normal. Please keep all of this in mind when you make your decision. And he does not use physical therapy on hip patients. Another piece of information we were kept in the dark about until the morning of the surgery. You spend 6 weeks in a walker at home, then 6 weeks on a cane. You get a handout of minimal PT exercises you can do but he will not order real Physical Therapy treatment for you. In fact, apparently he is so opposed to the idea, my husband and I were warned by many hospital staff members not to even mention it with him. A really bizarre experience over all. Since speaking to my GP, we have found a better management for my pain and a guarantee that he will order Physical Therapy for me at the end of 6 weeks if we feel it is needed. Always get a second opinion. I regret going through with this.

He ordered a bone scan of my entire body?! Do what? VERY expensive! Then refused to see me after to discuss the findings. After multiple calls to find out what is next, his nurse said he wants me to try orthopedic shoes... With any luck, he will retire soon and spare anyone else from his crap.
