I was referred to EmergoOrtho by a fill-in PCP due to a herniated disc compressing nerve roots. I already had an MRI before the appointment but was never told I needed to bring the images. When I arrived, they said they could access them. I paid a $50 copay, only to be told I needed another X-ray. The doctor came in for barely two minutes, said a steroid shot would be faster than a pack, then immediately left. I was told it needed to be scheduled and would take about a week. Meanwhile, I was told to just take Tramadol and do PT. No one followed up. I had to call them. Eventually, they set the appointment for August 5 -- nearly two weeks after my first visit. I took time off work, and had my wife do the same to drive me. But on August 4 at 3:30 PM, I got a call from Ruby saying they needed the MRI images. I asked why, since they claimed to have them last time and even did a new X-ray. She said she'd check. 20 minutes later, she called back and said they couldn't get the images from radiology and would have to cancel my appointment. Cancel -- after all that pain, waiting, time off, and insurance approval. I asked why the appointment was canceled when it was scheduled for the next day and I had done everything on my end. She was completely indifferent. I personally called the radiology provider and got through right away. They sent the images and I also drove to pick up a CD copy just in case. I called EmergoOrtho back immediately asking not to cancel my appointment. I was told Ruby was the only one who could help me. The woman said she'd have Ruby call me back that day. It's now 8:30 PM and still no call. Let me be clear -- I am a disabled veteran, in constant pain, with numb, burning fingers, unable to sleep or function properly. I served this country, and this is the level of care and compassion I get? You all should be ashamed. You clearly do not care about patients -- only copays and procedures. You dragged me through weeks of appointments, calls, and chaos, only to leave me in pain and cancel without cause. This will be the last orthopedic group I ever deal with. I wouldn't send my worst enemy here. You failed me. You failed your duty. Close the doors.

I have now been seeing Paul for my back and hip pains for many years. I appreciate his thoughtful analysis of my situation and his personalized formulation of exercises to alleviate my pains. He has helped me understand the science behind Feldenkrais and the interplay of my skeleton, nerves, and muscles. Part of the therapy is developing a kinesthetic sense/body awareness so that you can compare movements on one side of your body versus the other side. Paul is expert in directing your attention and asking the right questions. As Paul is also a licensed physical therapist, my appointments are partially covered by Medicare and my secondary health insurance. My sessions at the moment are via video telemedicine and they have been an excellent resource for care in my home. Paul's experienced eye catches movement disfunction. Recently he asked me to direct my computer's camera to an area where I could walk. He watched. And I returned to converse with him via my computer screen. He said, "I'm going to show you an exaggerated version of how I saw you walk." He proceeded to walk with a distinctly hunched over old-person's walk, and then he said, "I could see you beginning to walk like this, so let me show you exercises you can do to counteract this tendency you are developing." I don't want to move with pain, or walk like an old person. I rely on Paul to make this possible.

Dr. MELISSA HILL! I can't speak to the other doctors at this location, but I've seen her 3x and…read moreshe's FABULOUS. I really USE Yelp reviews and read them carefully because I really want to know WHY you like a doctor (it is just cuz you think he has "dreamy blue eyes" or is it more?) SO...HERE'S WHY I LIKE DR HILL: 1. I'm 67, fit, active -- walker, runner (not "serious" -- walk/run 2-3 miles 4-6x a week -- swimmer in summer and Fuel Fitness). I have hard plastic orthotics that I've worn for THIRTY YEARS. I assumed, when I first visited Dr. Hill, that my feet have changed over the past 30 (!) years and the orthotics would need to be replaced (not cheap, totally necessary). In other words, 30-yr old orthotics were an engraved invitation to "sell me" new orthotics. Dr. Hill held them to the bottom of my feet and said "well, these still look fine..." I'm not an untrusting person -- but THAT inspired trust! 2. She is a real "problem solver." She doesn't just reach up to her mental shelf and pull off a pre-formulated answer. She really listens and THINKS. And she's very clear, plain-spoken and practical. I have spent $2500 out of pocket (after insurance payments) trying to find out what is causing pain in my right ankle and base of my toes on right foot. 3 x-rays. 3 visits to EmergeOrtho (I could write an essay -- but let me just say I will NEVER EVER return to them -- waste of money. One doctor would contradict the next!) Visited Duke Sports -- and 3 Physical Therapy visits, who said it was tendonitis and only PT exercises would help, over a long time. Exercises DID seem to help -- but still definitely "something not right" and I've been scared to run and scared to do a lot of walking for fear I might cause some kind of real damage. 3. Dr. Hill heard my tale...took xrays. Said "I think what's going on here is complex." Said legs are likely aching due to: 1. my venous insufficiency (wear those compressions socks!). 2. Looks like I don't put the normal amount of pressure on my big toe -- causing the 2 next to it to be bearing more -- getting sore. 3. The two toes next to my big toe slant a bit towards the bit toe. Narrows the gap between the bones on both those toes, possibly somewhat pinching all the things that run between those bones. Said the hard plastic orthotics can sometimes cause an issue -- so go to a store and buy some insoles with heel cups (those were $10 -- so NOT a huge expense). Said to be better about wearing compression sock. When I said "so...why does the middle toe on my right foot stick up like that when I try to curl my toes? Still doing that after a year -- what's causing it?" She said "I have no idea. See? No b.s. -- Just one more reason why I like her. :-)

Dr Hill permanently ruined my toenails with a simple ingrown toenail procedure. When I went to a…read moredifferent podiatrist to have him fix what she had done, he said she used a technique from the fifties on my toes. On top of that, she did the procedure to both toenails, even though only one needed the work. Why? Perhaps because she is a sadist. That was the vibe I was getting. Incredibly rude, dedicated to my pain. She shouldn't be a doctor.

Stay away from Dr. Edward Attarian. My opinion (confirmed by xray and three other doctors) is that he is incompetent and a liar. After he botches your surgery, he'll look you straight in the eye and lie to you for months while he leaves you in pain and disabled. He'll also falsify your records to try to keep himself out of trouble. Harsh words, but just my opinion, which is protected by my first amendment rights. I'd sue him, but I lost enough of my life and have had way more stress than anyone can tolerate. Consider yourself warned! read more

A security guard standing around doing nothing didn't help, but having one present was comforting. The front desk staff was friendly, however the workflow for the facility was a lil' weird. they had kiosk stations where you had to go to 'sign in', however after that was done, you would see the front desk to officially 'check in'. After being taken back for triage (blood pressure, weight, height), you are escorted to the back area where the rooms look like you are in a hospital. There is a central command area in the middle with a bunch of rooms on the outside, giving a central station command to run the office. (I thought this was very well executed). The nurses and staff were very friendly, as were the regular staff (custodial). The physicians spent plenty of time with me going over all of my test results as well as discussing issues that I was having. I had to get some blood work as well, and the phlebotomist's that were in the lab were extremely professional. I was definitely impressed by this facility and look forward to using them as my primary location for my physicians

This was an unsatisfactory experience and I will avoid this facility.
