Bring a lot of money if you are injured and need to be seen. WILL NOT TREAT YOU UNLESS U HAVE $250 to pay at time of injury. Emerge ortho will refer you to emergency room which refers you back to Emerge Ortho. Injury or pain does not matter. Stay away! read more

Very slow not organized check in with no personality or smile looking like they hate there job. Would hire more pleasant people for a doctors office. read more

I was seen as a self pay patient. I was given a quote up front that I paid upfront. Nothing was done outside the original scope. The doctor barely saw me. He stepped in, told me he would have to get an MRI and would then refer me out. I was then billed additionally with no explanation. This seems to be this providers normal activity. I have not been treated medically, just x rays. read more

From the office ambience to the front office staff kindness, my experience with EmergeOrtho was the best in terms of quality in medical care. Additionally, the 2 physicians and the PA I saw were all very hands on and asked relevant questions about my issues. Their explanations were very thorough and helpful. Each one was patient with my questions and they were very knowledgeable about my problems. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking orthopedic care. read more

Unprofessional, no communication, rescheduling appointment time multiple times because of "doctor" emergency, 2 doctors canceled on me for same date. Not emergency, its the holidays! Having to go an extra week with a cast that has been cutting off my circulation. No followup calls after surgery. Will never have surgery thru them again. read more

I am very thankful for the excellent care and treatment I have received from Dr. Umbel, nurse Tracy and the entire staff at EmergeOrtho, Hickory! I had ruptured my left Achilles tendon. They were able to schedule my first appointment right away and Dr. Umbel was absolutely spot on with the diagnosis and course of treatment - MRI and surgery within a week. I am home, recovering, feeling great and so thankful for his experience, ability and wonderful bed-side manner. He even came in for my surgery on his day off. What dedication and concern for his patients! Thank you all so very, very much!!! read more

EmergeOrtho - repair of left Achilles Tendon - Sports Medicine Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

The doctor was very brief and impersonal and didn't show any interest in my injury. All he offered was a cortisone injection on my sprained knee. read more

I wouldn't recommend anyone to go here as a patient especially not to see dr. Wang. He was so very rude and condescending that it wasn't funny. He treated me like I was completely stupid and kept talking over top of me the entire time I was trying to talk and explain my condition/ symptoms, answer questions. Acted like he was better then me and was in a hurry to leave the room. Treated me like I was beneath him. read more

Total Cement-less Right Knee Replacement. I'm 52 and wanted to be more active which was restricted by knee issues. Couldn't be happier with my experience with Dr. Phillip Bostian and his staff, especially Bryson. Every interaction has been phenomenal. Dr. Bostian became my choice after first talking to more than one other knee surgeon. He was personable and listened to all my questions and concerns and was extremely knowledgeable on newer technologies. Post-surgery I was off the cane and walker by day 10 and rehabbing above schedule. I am confident I have a great knee that should have me back to the activity level I am looking for. Enough so, I was released to start working out again at levels I can tolerate by day 40, 90-day check up was great and I am 80% recovered. I am already doing stuff that was not tolerable pre-surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Bostian and his staff. read more

Fast service, caring staff, and excellent treatment. I am glad we found this place. Highly recommended!!

Run, don't walk away from this practice! A Dr. G there performed a 6 hour back surgery on my 83 year old mother. She was dead in less than 2 weeks from septic shock due to infection from the surgical site. The operation should have never been done to begin with. read more

Before the merger was a good place to go. Unorganized, high staff turnover, HIPPA non compliance, will hear private conversations amongst staff that are condescending. Recommend Ortho Carolina. Have had appts canceled without being called. read more

Outdated obsolete physical therapy format for patient therapy documentation. Completely unlike any computer hardware format I've ever seen, in my 29 yrs working as a travelling therapist. Worst. Therapy team lacks luster for New ideas, would not recommend a seasoned therapist with, tons of experience. read more

I used to go to the Hickory location 3 years ago and I was actually helped by the doctor I was seeing. Just recently I had to go back because of an injury. I was no better off when I left than I was when I checked in. My foot is still bruised and swollen and I'm in a great deal of pain. The staff was courteous but Dr. Houdek looked at my x-ray and briefly examined my foot and said it was a bad sprain and he'd see back in 2 weeks. It was a total waste of 2 and a half hours of my time. Nothing was done for my injury. I was told to order a "boot" from Amazon to make walking a little easier. I won't be going back in 2 weeks. read more

Emerge Ortho: Incredibly unprofessional and unprepared. I understand that there are guidelines for COVID; however, please have a better system for accepting patients for their appointed time. We had to wait in the 90 degree heat in the middle of July before being allowed into the building. I was there with my brother to help him in and out as he was being seen for a check up on his broken hip. So, yes, he along with many other patients with similar injuries had to wait outside until the doors were unlocked. I suppose the reason for patients not being allowed into the lobby was due to cleaning for COVID precautions, but who knows. The woman greeting people at the door gave no reason or explanation as to why we had to wait, only smirked and huffed and puffed in her reclining office chair while an electric fan blew directly on her as she sat with her head in her hand as though we were all in inconveniencing her for being there. I'm from Charlotte, and I have never witnessed such unprofessionalism. If you are going to have guidelines, please mail them along with the paperwork needed for an apnt so patients know the protocol. Do NOT merely make them wait outside when they are obviously injured and there at your business for medical attention. read more
