I was referred to Dr. Cardenas after experiencing a year of shoulder pain and recent pains in my…read moreneck by my primary care physician. My primary care physician had ordered a MRI to be done at the hospital which showed a herniated disk touching my spine and moderate spinal canal stenosis. I was very nervous being referred to a neurosurgeon, but Dr. Cardenas eased my worries, due to his professionalism and knowledge of spine issues. He recommended that I have ACDF surgery two weeks after my initial visit. I really was happy that my pain was taken seriously and everything far as pre-surgery prep was done my first visit. Many test were performed, and before I left I found out the numbness in my ring and pinky finger was caused by a compressed nerve in my elbow. I've previously had a tingling sensation in my elbow, but I thought it was from me leaning on it. So...SPINE AND ELBOW SURGERY two weeks later. Dr. Cardenas staff was extremely helpful. Nurse Bonnie addressed all of my concerns leading up to surgery. I looked up YouTube videos of the procedures that would be performed on me. I had a million questions, and nurse Bonnie replied to me immediately through the Semmes Murphey portal, which I received a login my first visit. She also called me a couple of times as well. Days before surgery I couldn't take certain medications, and those reminders were given verbally and by handouts. I wasn't nervous at all until day of surgery.....talk about butterflies. We arrived about 6:30 a.m. at Semmes Murphy. The surgery facility is on the second floor and there's a waiting room for family/friends to wait in. It didn't take long at all for me to be called to the back. I was prepped for surgery as soon as I went back to my room. The nurse started an IV..while different people from the surgery team introduced themselves. I was terrified lol. I don't know if it was the medicine in the IV or nerves but I was freezing. Hospital staff brought in multiple warm blankets, but I was still freezing. I can remember telling them that I wasn't ready to be put to sleep. I guess they saw I was very nervous and the anesthesiologist came in so I knew it was about that time. She put medicine in my IV and a couple of other nurses came to transfer me to a different bed to wheel me out. Last thing I remember was one of the nurses asking me if I like to travel and I said yes I love traveling....and then lights out for about 4 hours for me. It only seemed like minutes when I woke up with a neck brace on and staples in my elbow with an arm sling. The staff definitely took very good care of me and I appreciate all the support they have provided.

This morning my wife drove me to OrthoSouth in Bartlett for medical attention. However, I was denied care after being informed that the facility does not accept Tricare Prime as an insurance provider. When I asked if I could pay out-of-pocket, I was further informed that OrthoSouth only accepts payment through insurance and therefore could not provide treatment. I find it both appalling and deeply disrespectful that a medical institution would refuse care to a military retiree under these circumstances. In my view, every medical facility in the United States should accept the insurance provided to our veterans and military retirees. To deny service to those who have honorably served--many of whom depend on Tricare Prime--is unacceptable. In fact, staff at the front desk mentioned they had turned away another veteran earlier that same day. This experience left me with the clear impression that OrthoSouth prioritizes profit over patient care. To all military veterans and retirees: OrthoSouth is not a facility you will want to rely on for medical services. Their refusal to provide care is a disservice to the 1% of us who have dedicated our lives to serving our country.

What I REALLY appreciate about Dr. Curlee is that while he makes more money by performing surgery -- and this condition is operable -- he has recommended that we use alternate methods until such time as I can't take it [the pain] any more, leaving surgery as the LAST option. Further they have been sensitive and understanding to my pain and always willing to help me if I needed it - excellent bedside manner. I really feel that they are looking out for me and not just trying to push me in-and-out the door. At Southern Spine Specialists, my personal experience has been that even if you don't get to see Dr. Curlee, the nurse practioners (Amy and Patrick) are excellent stand-in's and I get no less quality of care. The bottom line is that I trust these people....which makes every difference in the world when it comes to something as serious and potentially debilitating as a spinal problem.

On my first day of physical therapy, the lady at the front desk told me that she had looked up my insurance and that I hadn't met my deductible yet. I was informed that I would be charged $140 for the first visit and $100 for each of the following visit 7 visits. I was asked to sign some documentation that this billing information was correct and that I was responsible for looking up and confirming my insurance status. In the moment, this seemed wildly expensive and not correct, but I handed her my HSA card and paid for the first visit. The next day I was able to get in contact with my insurance company. They informed me that a claim had not been filed yet and that I did not have a deductible for physical therapy, but a co-pay. This information left me perplexed as it countered what I was told by the physical therapy office. I called and spoke with the front desk lady who had given me the initial wrong information. She told me that she had consulted with a generic website that showed her my insurance information. I asked her how she "knew" that my deductible was not met yet and her response deflected the question. I informed her that I did not have a deductible, but a co-pay, and again asked her about how she knew my deductible hadn't been met. She deflected again. I told her it felt like she had lied to me about my insurance information and she got very defensive saying, "I'm just a human and we all make mistakes." In my personal opinion, a mistake would have been just telling someone the wrong information, but to make up information and tell it to someone (and have greater financial gain) is frankly dishonest. At my next visit she had me sign a new financial agreement with the correct numbers on them. At my following visit, I asked the front desk lady for an itemized receipt of my first few visits (to give to my HSA). She snapped, I can't get that for you right now. However, by the time I finished the appointment she had provided me with an itemized receipt. On the day of my last visit, the front desk lady told me, "if we owe you anything, you'll get a check in the mail." A few days after my last visit I had the opportunity to leave an internal review of my experience. I was honest and fair in my review. I received a phone call that afternoon from someone within the company; he heard me out. However, before he finished the call, he asked me if there was anything he could do for me. I asked him to find out if I owed any money or was going to receive a check in return. He said he would let me know. It has now been over a month and I have not heard from Pittman physical therapy. My interactions with everyone, but the physical therapist and PT assistants, have been repeatedly unprofessional and suspicious and really make me have a hard time trusting Pittman Physical Therapy. I can't imagine I'm the only one this sort of behavior is happening with. I won't go back, nor do I recommend them.

But, I know there is no physician with her expertise along with her professionalism combined any where else locally to be found. The drive is definitely long, and at times painful along with uncomfortable due to my conditions. I've never found many physician's as Dr Lee-Sigler who go over your diagnosis and treatment plan as she. I've had other issues that were not within her field and recommended me to colleagues who were outstanding. Dr Wolfe was outstanding regarding my knee issue. Dr Saenz did an outstanding surgery on the wrist I broke. This establishment from the time you walk through the door, escorted to the doctor, seeing the doctor, getting X-ray, and checking out is extremely pleasant. The wait time very minimal from the waiting room to seeing the doctor. Since my time with this establishment I've never been under their roof over an hour...!

I do tons of reading on how to keep the body young and try to remove as many toxins from my life as possible. I don't drink alcohol (very often); I eat organic, I stay away from processed foods (you know the things that most of us are trying these days). I workout and ride my bike, I do all the things we are suppose to do to stay forever young and it has worked, for the most part. I recently decided I wanted to find ways to feel the BEST I can possible feel. For me feeling great was no longer good enough. I want to feel unbelievably great. I want to wake up in the morning and think, "hell, I feel damn good today!" When people in the office ask how I'm doing, I want to respond, "it is not possible to feel any better." That's how amazing I want to feel. That's when I decided to try acupuncture. I had a couple of friends tell me to go see Dr. Ly. I had noticed significant changes in both of them, and they both attributed those changes to Dr. Ly. That was proof enough for me that it was at least worth checking out. I've now seen Dr. Ly three times, all three times I have done a "balance visit" since I don't have anything wrong with me. Since seeing Dr. Ly, I have noticed I am sleeping like a bear in the middle of hibernation at night. During the day, I have a lot more energy, and I seem to be so much more productive. I plan to continue my session with Dr. Ly indefinitely. If you are looking to feel more balanced or need a body reset, I recommend you give this place a try. Oh, one last thing. I HATE needles. Acupuncture is NOT painful, and the needles do not hurt. That is an urban myth or legend or whatever it means when lies get passed down from generation to generation.
