I was off my pain medication just taking Advil and all was good. I was put back into a boot and started PT. Well, then, the problem started first Dr Macknet immediately stopped seeing me and pushed me to his PA) who can't bother to return the message in my chart, then started the excruciating pain of what feels like electric shocks going through my foot. I cannot explain the amount of pain I am and it takes my breath away and makes me vomit. It is so bad. Sorry to be so graphic. I went back to see Dr. Macknet and he said well the pain is normal. Keep icing it compress it elevate it and try aromatherapy. I have no history of substance abuse I have not taken narcotics until this surgery. You can look at my history. I know they can. that was the answer I was given. I have no faith in them and I'm absolutely disgusted and their continuity of care. I would never recommend anybody to go here because I'd rather see you suffer and let you be tortured in pain than actually take care of you. If you get a referral to this practice run, find somebody else go back to Columbia, South Carolina and go see Dr. Guy. He is an amazing orthopedic surgeon. He takes care of his patience and he manages their pain. I should've done that from the start.

Excellent surgeon who took good care of my wife and her knee…read more We first started going to this practice back around 2004 when Dr. Barron's partner, David Holmsley did a knee replacement me. Last year, he did a hip replacement and we were very pleased with the care and outcome from both procedures. This is a practice with three doctors. Dr. Barron specializes on Arthroscopic Surgery of the knees, Dr. Holmsley specializes on joint replacement and Dr. Valentine specializes on the Hands. Back before Christmas, my wife hyper extended her knee and was in a great deal of pain. We met with Dr. Holmsley and he ordered an MRI and referred us to his associate Dr. Barron because this was the area he specialized in. MRI was done before Christmas and while she could have gotten in to see Dr. Barron on the day after Christmas, she was flying to Pittsburgh at that time and the next available appointment was around Jan 8th. We met with Dr. Barron and he had reviewed the MRI and the conclusion was that she had three tears in the medial meniscus plus some arthritis in the joint as well. He gave her the option of arthroscopic surgery or doing nothing in the long shot that it would heal on it's own which was unlikely. Needless to say, we chose the obvious surgery. He wanted to do it the following week but a bed was not available at the Surgery Center till the 20th. 20th came and we were first and were there at 6 am, Surgery was at 7 am but they did take her a few minutes early. By 9:30, we were checking out and heading back to Cornelius. Since then progress has been very quick and we are very pleased with the outcome. The following Monday she started Physical Therapy and is recovering strength in the knee quickly. We went back yesterday and they took the stitches out and showed my wife the pictures they had taken of the damaged tissue. She still has some swelling and bruising from the surgery but that is improving daily. Next appointment is in just over a month just prior to our trip to Israel. Very professional and great Doctor and glad my wife was in such good hands. Would recommend this practice to anyone.

Going to Flexogenix was one of the best things I ever did for myself. I went on a ski trip to…read moreJackson in January 2016 which was wonderful except for one thing - every ski turn hurt my knees significantly, and when I got back even walking was tricky. I would land wrong sometimes and - OWWW!! I was thinking that maybe there was not much skiing in my future if at all, and the idea of walking a golf course seemed daunting indeed. Then I heard about Flexogenix. They examined my knees, did ultrasound and x-rays and diagnosed "moderate to severe" arthritis. They offered a treatment called Lipogems, where they extract stem cells from your love handles and inject them into the knees. I had both of them done, and while my knees felt like cement for a few days afterwards, 5 months later I was at Beaver Creek, and I hardly noticed them while skiing. As for my knees overall, the clock has been turned back by 15 years. If you have arthritis in your knees and you still have a little cartilage left, don't wait for knee replacement - go here first.

Tyler Anderson, PA-C is an exceptional provider. During my visit he was able to identify a very…read morespecific spot in my ankle that has been causing significant pain. When he examined that area, it was extremely sensitive, but he immediately understood what was happening and knew exactly how to treat it. After the injection he performed, I walked out of the office without the limp I came in with. For the first time in a very long time, I experienced what it felt like to walk normally again. That moment meant so much to me because it reminded me what my body is capable of when the problem area is treated correctly. Tyler's knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients truly stand out. He listened, evaluated carefully, and treated the problem with confidence and skill. Your organization is fortunate to have a provider with Tyler's insight, compassion, and clinical expertise. I am very grateful for the care he provided. -- Carla Johnson
