The staff at check in was great and made the check process easy. I had already filled out most of my information online but check in was smooth. I was quickly called back to an exam room and the attendant was professional and thorough. They explained they would need to take X-rays and that was handled quickly. However, once I got back to the exam room, the doctor took about 45 minutes to come to the room and do the exam and explain the X-rays. He was professional and explained everything in a straightforward manner and answered all of my questions. OrthoCarolina did a great job, it was the wait time that bothered me and there was no apology for the long wait time. I would recommend!

They really know their stuff. Beyond knowing their stuff is their continual dialogue with patients. On each appointment we began discussing how the exercises were working, how I was feeling, what is working or not. Then we would get into planning for that day and going forward. I was involved in the therapy. And we continued in this joint planning over a month of treatments. They administer a tablet form of survey asking about your condition and how it is affecting your life. After the therapy has run its course you complete the same survey, so they have a before and after record of your condition. Impressive and given the people cycling through this practice it was clear that the facility and all the therapists were doing something special. Good resource for most all of us.

I got selected for a random drug test to continue my medication. I asked for the cost and was informed of the copay, nothing further. Well, needless to say I was shocked when I got a $200 bill in the mail for a drug test THEY wanted to do to continue filling a medication I've been on for 10 years. Not happy about this at all. I've never had to take one before nor was it a yearly requirement or anything. If you come here, make sure it's for basic requests because there could be hidden charges for anything out of the norm.

She's encouraging to get me back on track but I'd rather hv an MD tho there's no female MD here taking new patients.

The mammogram ladies td were nice but I couldn't get one done since it was all "booked up" td n also in December tho I didn't see any other customer in the bus besides me. Even as I type this outside its door, no one has popped out. It's probably a quota thing... so many a day? They suggested that I go to the Waverly Novant for it if I needed it sooner. So, if you're needing a mammogram soon, u'll need to go somewhere else. Mine is scheduled all the way in January. Make sure u make an appointment asap. I use to be able to just walk in but not anymore. I guess Waxhaw is busting at its seams.

Front office staff was friendly, even in the midst of being overwhelmed by the flu season. Check in was easy and fast. Charlie, my MA, was amazing. She had a quirky sense of humor that made a boring, routine visit to the doctor more pleasant. Dr. Tomcho was very pleasant and warm. She described herself as "anal" and I will say, this lady is THOROUGH! She didn't miss a single detail of my family history, down to the health history of my childhood pet! When it comes to your health, thorough is the requirement. Her demeanor was motivating and she made me want to take a vested interest in my health. She was encouraging yet challenging in areas where I need to improve. She had just the right balance of both. One warning.... because she is so thorough, Dr. Tomcho's appointments might last a little longer than the in-and-out ones you may be used to with other providers. I was anticipating my initial appointment with her to last 15-20 minutes but it exceeded that by far. She wanted to make sure she had a comprehensive picture to provide the best treatment. Two thumbs up for this provider and group!

So, when I recently had a small medical issue that wasn't major, I decided to just find a local CHS-affiliated doctor's office to go to. The Medical Group of Waxhaw fit that bill, so I made an appointment to see the Physician's Assistant. She was very friendly and professional and I felt fine seeing her for a minor issue. She did bring Dr. Verrill in to consult and he was professional & friendly as well. I think if you are just looking for a decent family practice, they are just fine. However, I am not sure if I want to use this practice for my primary care though, as I normally like to select an Internist and unfortunately, they do not have any doctors on their staff that specialize in Internal Medicine.

I moved away for a couple years, then called trying to make an appointment after moving back this year. They had "a note on my account saying I was no longer a patient" and the receptionist told me she had to talk to the manager about me before she could make me an appointment. Well she called me back hours later saying that she spoke with the manager and that things have changed since I was a patient and you are now required to join some MVP program for $1800/yr just to be a patient. Before I could even respond, she was already saying that seeing as I didn't find this acceptable and there was nothing she could do... don't go here, the receptionist twins are terribly rude and either require some MVP dues like an exclusive club or they will use this to get rid of you.

I switched from Atrium to Novant having spoken to several friends that had great experiences with Novant. An appointment was set at this facility for an annual physical. The appointment we as to be expected, patient history, family history, blood work. Now comes the issues. My test results came back. A "scheduler" call to schedule a follow up appointment. I asked why I need an appointment as I have yet to see my test results on the portal. I also stated that as an analytical person, I would like to have the results posted so I could see what issues existed and do my research to be able to ask intelligent questions. She said she was not able to do that. Ok low level employee, I understand as I do not allow my employees to release information either. Then I get a phone call from, Suzette Schlafly, the office manager. She informs me yet again that I need ro schedule an appointment. I again told her I would not schedule an appointment until I had the opportunity to review my test results and if necessary could the PA Samantha call me. It is at this point the conversation took a turn that I was not expecting. Suzette said that the PA does not have time to call me and that is not her job. Then she told me that I needed the appointment so they COULD TELL ME what my treatment plan WOULD be. She also talked down to me in a manner that inferred I was not intelligent enough to advocate for my own Healthcare. I was extremely frustrated. I told her that it was "my body, my blood and my choice" and she no no right to hold my test results hostage. I also told her that if I needed to set an appointment to get my test results the appointment would not be pleasant and they would regret the appointment if this was how they were going to unprofessionally conduct themselves. I called back in 2 days hoping someone in authority had understood that keeping a patient's personal test results and then talking down to the patient was not an acceptable approach. I called Suzette and asked if my results had been released to the portal. She stated they were going to release them onto the portal. They were never released them. I went earlier the next week and moved to another practice that have requested my test results and I have accordingly scheduled an appointment to discuss the results. If the office manager lacks the communication skills to speak to patients in a manner that is not; arrogant, demeaning and belittling she does not need to be in that position. She is obviously nothing but a mouth piece for the practice. As such, this reflects poorly on the doctors at this facility as this level of arrogance, belittling and manipulation either comes from the doctors, as this is their attitude or they do not know how to manage their staff. Either way this culture showing such a disdain and lack of respect for the patient and indicates you are but a number they need to process. I have never had a doctor's office believe they are so omnipotent and you the patient are so stupid that you are not allowed to see your test results from your own body. THIS HAS BEEN UNEQUIVOCALLY THE WORST experience in Healthcare and with a doctors office in my life. It ranks highly as the worse experience from a customer service perspective. I HAVE HONESTLY HAD FAR SUPERIOR EXPERIENCES FROM THE VETERINARIAN THAT TAKES CARE OF MY DOGS. The response below proves my point !!!!! This person has the very same culture as the others in the office. A professional office would have reached out and worked through a solution. No, you are not a person and they aren't professional. You're too uninformed, too uneducated and not intelligent enough to deserve their attention unless you comply. See how their response goes. Demeaning: how I do not understand the medical industry and corresponding federal guidelines. How they view facts of their practice as threatening. How can a factual and articulate review be threatening? Note also, if I did not bend a knee to their pressure and manipulation I was avoiding medical services. Notice how immature and unprofessional by listing medical conditions ? This exemplifies every issue referenced above; intimidation, manipulation, unprofessionalism, arrogance, threatening and contolling. Again, their response proves the arrogant, demeaning and ridiculing nature of the culture in this office. NEW PATIENTS, make your own decision about the care you deserve and the provider you choose. Know that as a fact, the above was precisely what I experienced. The below response PROVES every one of my points precisely. Amazingly, the new office that I have chosen, released my results and I went to the appointment. At no point, as inferred below, did I want to avoid nor delay a physicians consult. I simply desired to have an opportunity to understand my test results.. My body, my blood, my choice.

In fact, of the many doctors I have to see Dr Kanelos by far gives the most time and through explanations. I have looked over all of the reviews here and it is very revealing that there are large percentage of 5 stars and an offsetting amount of 1 stars. Ironically, all of the 1 star reviews had to do with money they had pay or lack of professional care. It's routinely receive follow up callsfromLIsa to see how I am doing after they notice I have went to see another doctor (specialist) for a condition I am being treated for. It's typical for people to leave reviews that feel they have been overlooked or underserved. The one star reviews have complained about 2 things: 1) a sum that they owe the. practice because their insurance didn't cover the tests the doctor or the PA ordered for the patient 2) a long wait 3) rude front office staff. As to number 1 if you expect god care then their are some things that the doc may order that will have to be paid out of pocket. 2) The same people that complain ed about having to wait beyond their appointment time are the same people that said that the doctor didn't spend enough time with them. This is ridiculous. In my 25 years of seeing doctor Kanelos there were many times that I was seen later then my doctors appointment. However this is the same with every doctor. The good ones give the patient the time they need which often results in others having to sometimes wait beyond their appointment time. Finally, I have never received anything but courteous service from the employees on Dr Kanelos staff.

I did countless drug tests in the past and never failed once. The nurse called and informed that to me like she's trying to get rid of this burden and go on with her day. I immediately asked to speak with the doctor who admitted me - Brian Hummel, which simply avoided me and never called me back, despite me calling about 4-5 times the following days. The nurse who spoke to me, by the name of Emma, simply told me that since the anomaly is so high, they simply wont give me the prescription, and that's all. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as a doctor or a medical professional, if you see something so unusual in a patient who never had history of substance abuse, isn't it your job (not to mention a sworn testimony) to try and get to the bottom of this? Because allegedly the amounts that were found in my blood were life threatening. I went to the police the same day because the only explanation I could think about was that I'm being poisoned somehow. The cop told me that I should go back to the clinic and ask them what protocols did they use, because he already seen cases like this before that people failed in a test because the protocols that were used weren't efficient enough. Moreover, a simple research about the topic will quickly show that many things can cause false positive result in this specific substance test, such as energy drinks, caffeine and more. But I guess to think about it all was too much to ask, since the staff obviously had better things to do then to show basic human decency and help me. When I called the clinic and asked them for the protocols, the person who answered the phone was really rude and told me that she didn't know what I'm talking about and quickly hang up.two days later i took a private test which needless to say showed that I'm completely clean. But all of this doesn't matter of course, because who will waste his time being a good person and a true professional these days? By the way i tried to call a few times since, and never got a call back from the doctor. Thank you novant health for a lovely experience.
