Everyone at Blue Ridge Ortho's Gainesville office - from practitioners to X-ray techs to support…read morestaff - is a joy to interact with, both in person and on the telephone (they're also very responsive on the online portal). I've never once had to wait to be seen, even when it's busy. They've even gone out of their way to fit me in at the last minute. PA Jenna Pataluna is knowledgeable, patient, and takes the time to answer my questions. I've never been rushed, lectured, or talked down to. She takes a collaborative approach to her patients, and I feel like an active participant in my own care.

TL, DR: nope They do…read morethis thing here where they call your name before your appointment and the doctor comes and rattles on and you're thinking, wow they're on it but actually it's the opposite. It's not efficiency folks, it's cattle rustling to get in as many as possible for money. Originally went to Gainesville, Dr. K orders a MRI for my back. They take X-rays of my hip bc that's what I moved my appointment up for-my hip. He just knows it my back though. Sigh. Here I am, on meds: can't work, can't drive for a month while I wait for this appointment. Here's the timeline readers: End of Feb first appointment, MRI March 2nd. Follow up March 7th. Hang on, here is the fun part...DUDE TELLS ME ITS NOT YOUR BACK, MUST BE YOUR HIP. MY BAD, LETS DO ANOTHER MRI FOR THE HIP. WILL CALL TO SCHEDULE YOU. Guess when that appt was folks? March 18th. Mind you, still not working, not driving on meds. Follow up for the March 24. Did you know they get the results in like an hour? I know now bc I called to get them for my March 21 at a different office. Also, decide if that parking lot is one way. Too small, too round, and too many people dropping off patients. I would absolutely ask yourself how important your time is and don't waste it here. The care level here is similar to most of warrenton: mediocre with a fresh coat of paint.

I wish Dr Neufeld would have described the possible repercussions beyond " limited big toe flexibility due to borrowing the tendon to strengthen the Achilles". I have numbness in my foot and atrophy in my calf despite one year of focused PT following surgery. I regret the surgery and would never had done it based on my post operative experience. Alternatively, I would have taken my chances with the 30% of tendon left and managed the occasional flare-ups in lieu of surgery.

I had reported over and over that I could not Swallow, so he also dehydrated the crap out of me, then blamed me for "not yielding". He then IGNORED the hospital's Dietitian who diagnosed me in late-stage Starvation with muscle wasting and SENT ME HOME ALONE unable to eat or drink while eating my own body to survive! When I desperately tried to stop him from discharging me while unsafe, I was booted out of the building by Hospital Security for being anxious! You'd be anxious too if sent home to starve! For over 40 days I reported 20 TIMES that I was starving and begged to be admitted for a feeding tube and fluids, which HE IGNORED! This idiot sat there and forced me to nearly STARVE TO DEATH! He is the most Grossly Negligent and unscrupulous doctors I have ever seen. He lied in my records about how great I was doing when I looked like a corpse. Then had the hospital FALSIFY ALL MY RECORDS to include defaming me and discrediting me to lessen my ability to sue. He is a lying sack of shit who destroyed my life and is probably too clueless to know it. If you want the most negligent, dishonest asshole surgeon on the planet to do your surgery, go to Dr. Silveri! Just don't expect to survive!

But for the last three visits, I was taken into a room 15-20 minutes late with no explanation. My appointment should take no more than 15-20 minutes. If I had not left 45 minutes later on my own, I don't know how long I would have sat in that room waiting for the PA. Today I had a 9:15 AM appointment. I waited 20 minutes after my appointment time to be put in a room finally at 9:35 AM, . Once in the room, I waited an additional 15 minutes for the doctor to come in. When Dr. Kaas came in, and she explained she was held up for personal reasons. I then waited for the PA to come in to finish the visit and she did not show up at all. I waited another 20 minutes and I decided to leave. I am 67 years old and have NEVER left a doctor's office in my life. I told the front desk why I left. Five minutes after leaving, I received a phone call from the PA who told me they were short staffed. She invited me to come in today at my convenience to complete the treatment, but I could not. I will not be returning to this practice. This all could have been avoided by a kind explanation at any point in time while I was in the office.

I was seen by Dr. Jay Ryan at this practice back starting in 2025. I went to him for diagnosed foot…read morepain, and he constantly said multiple issues existed. He kept pushing for injections and surgeries. These injections were costly and did not work, and even after understanding that, he kept emphasizing the injections. Finally after refusing the injections multiple times, he suggested multiple surgeries. Dr. Ryan performed one surgery on July 2025, and one again on January 2026. Every time I was seen for debilitating foot pain, he suggested surgery. After each surgery completed, my foot pain got worse and now I can't walk. Dr. Ryan also provided an inaccurate estimate of how long my recovery would be, he did a very intense surgery where a portion of my heel was removed, metal hardware was taken out, and he said I would be able to walk in 2 weeks. Several months later, even after physical therapy, I am unable to walk. I don't think I will ever be able to walk again. After one of my surgeries I was scheduled for a post op with Dr. Ryan, and upon arriving, I was told I could not be seen by him. Dr. Kaas ended up seeing me, and she did not provide a thorough exam of my incisions. She stood on one side of the room where she could not examine my entire foot, and I had multiple stitches on all sides of my feet. Dr. Kaas glanced at me and told me I looked fine. She then denied me any pain medications even though I was told to ask, and I needed them. The front office also is not communicative, and unhelpful. I've had to ask them multiple times to send in pain medication that I needed URGENTLY after my surgery, and they waited days to do so even after they told me they would send it same day. They also refused to prescribe me pain medication, they said a Dr. had to sign off on it but still made me wait - even though Dr. Ryan said he'd send it same day. I feel as though my pain levels were completely disregarded and misdiagnosed at this practice. The front office is also not clear on how the billing works, they never communicated that there would be more than one bill for one surgery, and they also charge a hefty credit card surcharge/processing fee, which I feel is already unfair, and not done at any other practice. Also, for being a medical office that specializes in foot and ankle care, their building is NOT accessible, at all. There are multiple stairs and a steep incline going into the building, no automatic doors at the office. It was extremely hard trying to maneuver an office being disabled and using mobility aids that I brought like a wheelchair, a scooter, a walker, crutches, and a cane. I don't think I will ever be able to walk again after being seen by both Dr. Ryan and Dr. Kaas. Please avoid this office at all costs.

Dr. Robert Hallivis missed an important procedure during surgery and said he "missed it" then hit…read moreme up for a second surgery. My main issue was Capsulitis on the second toe. I could no longer wear my 20-plus pair of dress shoes for work or any shoe with a little bit of a heel. I was in pain. He recommended surgery and, while doing so, will fix my bunion on the same foot. After a long recovery, I went back with my foot still in pain. He said he missed the capsulitis during the first and that we must have another surgery. And he did not do me any favors on the bunion surgery as my big toe is still numb from surgery. He said it would go away. It's now been 4-5 years. Not feeling my toe has been another nightmare. I've lost my big toe nail 3-4 times and work on another one. So after the expense, being in a boot, missing work, etc, I am no better off, but worse. What a waste. I don't trust him. I still wear pads, still wear flat shoes only, I still have pain on long walks, and I cannot go barefoot in my own home. I have lost my toenail three times and am working on a fourth. When it's hard to feel your toe, you don't realize you are hurting it. I went through all that pain and suffering for nothing. My co-worker referred him as she has diabetes, and he did surgery on her foot "several times." Gee what a coincidence. I went to a foot surgeon for a second opinion. He said never let a podiatrist do surgery. (I am just now posting this years later as I went to update the post mad about another losing yet another toe nail, and my post was still a draft)
