The talented Dr Nemec is now a part of this team! He does all sorts of lower body orthopedic work. He completely reconstructed my foot due to deformities and bad tendons. I was crippled in a brace. He did 9 procedures in all. It was a very long difficult recovery but I have a beautiful brand new foot now! He has only highly competent staff working for him both in the offices and the OR. His OR team is the best! Thank you so much Dr. Nemec and staff! read more

Instead of focusing on my care I had to listen to the staff's heritage history, which is not the reason why I visited the office. It took the doctor two second to tell me my case is inoperable but gave no advice or other treatment options to ease my pains and discomfort. So pooey on him. Also the billing staff sucks royally!!! given the fact I am a biller so I know my stuff, they wanted me to pay for the whole visit eventhough they participate with my insurance. I gave them $100 and told them I will not see the doc if they charge me for the full visit. The receptionist promised me I would not be charged.. After several phonecall or left messages I am finally getting my overpayment back, so i was promised I dont have it yet. Could not recommend this place for anything..... read more

My total experience from Great Lakes Orthopaedic has been excellent. Overall staff is attentive and responsive. I really appreciate Dr. McGraw's nurse, Katie. She's the best, both in person and over the phone. I know I received top notch care from start to finish. I had a hip replacement done and any other orthopedic issues I have I will go there. read more

Please don't misunderstand me. The doctors are good and know what they are doing. I got treated bad for calling out one staffer for actions she took. Had a problem and the staff not believing any I tried to convey. That carried over to others. I was left hanging by one department on testing. I even talked with someone about this twice. It was at least a month later when I did get a cal to setup an appointment. I guess to start over. For a month after I finish physical therapy I received bills for 10 appointments. I did everything I could to stay currant. Pay vary close attention to your appointments and keep records of all your payments. You have to call to Chacigo get answers. Good luck read more

The new Urgent Care clinic on Munson Ave. is super efficient and the staff there is great, but I've had very frustrating experiences in trying to schedule an MRI and reading with a doc. From my exam appointment to the MRI was FOUR WEEKS, and then I was supposed to get a call for the reading two days after the scan, but I had to make the call myself. Once I'd scheduled, I received ANOTHER call from a GLOC staffer who told me that my appointment had not, in fact, been confirmed and I'd have to wait for another two weeks to have the MRI reading. As customer service goes, this is inexcusable. read more

I saw a PA, first name Jordan, for a cortisone injection. He was personal, efficient and explained as he went along. Great technique and I had time to ask questions without feeling rushed. read more

Went in to get my sling fitted for shoulder surgery next week (surgery with GLOC as well at Alliance) - The technician was fantastic- Knowledgable, personable and professional. I left well fitted and well informed. I am consistently satisfied and pleased that GLOC meets and exceeds my expectations. Keep up the great work! read more

Dr. Bruder is on my list of amazing people. He repaired my knee without fuss or any pain. He took extra care to diagnose my ankle when the first xrays didn't show the problem, he got right in there with a lead apron and held my ankle so he could see the problem. Then he did surgery on it and fixed it beautifully. With my shoulder problem, he now does only knees, but I didn't hesitate to be seen by another Dr. in this group since I know they will all be top notch. read more
