    I waited for a little over 2 hours in total, Dr. K spent less than 5 minutes with me. The…read morereceptionist and nurse were very sweet, but other staff members...not so much. More on that later. I was taken to get an x-ray of my knee, the technician didn't seem to enjoy his job. He wasn't rude, but wasn't very engaging or happy to be there. Maybe he was having a bad day, we've all been there. Dr. K came in and spent less than 5 minutes with me. He touched my knee once, no tests of any sort, did not ask where my pain was. I told him right away that I was looking to do a scope on my knee, as I've had it done before for the same issue on my other knee. He told me "look, I'll do whatever you want. You want pills? Therapy? Surgery? I'll do it." When I asked him for more info on where the surgery will take place, he just said "a hospital". Okay...how far is this hospital, can I get a name, more details? I was really hoping for more interaction with him, he seemed very rushed and possibly tired. He kept rubbing his eyes and only made eye contact with me twice. I went to another ortho and was much happier with him and his staff, when I called to cancel my follow up with Dr. K, I was questioned why I'm cancelling. Not wanting to be mean I said my schedule was packed and I'll call some other time to reschedule. She didn't like that answer, kept pressing me to reschedule with her at that moment. I finally told her I found an ortho closer to my house and that fit my schedule. She started accusing me of wasting Dr. K's time if I wasn't going to come back. I got the impression that most of the staff in the office were overworked, stressed, and exhausted. We all have those days, but I wish my interaction with Dr. K would have been a more pleasant one.

    Dr. Kjeldgaard was the worst doctor I've ever been to. I gave two stars instead of one simply…read morebecause the other staff at this location were very kind and caring toward me. Only the doctor seemed to not care at all. If you value your money and want to be treated by a doctor who cares, please, go elsewhere. Background: I've had hip and lower back pain for 3 years now. I've seen several doctors but gotten only minimal and temporary relief. I waited for two hours past my appointment time before seeing the doctor. This was mildly annoying, but I understand we are in the midst of a pandemic, and it's slowing down the process, so I figured it wasn't a big deal. However, when the doctor finally came in, I instantly noticed his bad attitude. He never once looked me in the eye, he was abrupt, rude, and extremely dismissive. He gave me an exam that lasted all of about 2 minutes and then talked to me for about 5 minutes. This just made me wonder, why did I wait so long if this is the amount of time he spends with each patient? As I tried to tell him about my situation he kept cutting me off mid-sentence. I told him stretching helps my pain, so I stretch every single day, even though when my hip is hurting it's very painful to stretch. He said it didn't make sense to him that the stretches could be both painful and helpful... I found his confusion very odd. I saw my general practitioner, a physical therapist, and a chiropractor, before going here, and they all agreed that stretching might hurt a little, but it could help reduce my pain throughout the day. Every google search I've done has turned up multiple articles suggesting daily stretching to reduce my pain. It's pretty basic. He reminded me of my young age, over and over again, as if I didn't already know I'm too young to be experiencing pain like this. Age bias is a real problem, and youth does not necessarily equate to good health. He actually rolled his eyes when he saw that I occasionally take sleeping medication. I'm guessing from this he thought I was chasing meds.... which is actually laughable. If he had bothered to listen to me, he'd know I don't even take OTC meds for the pain, and I have no interest in starting. On top of that, if I WERE wanting meds, I would have asked my GP, and not paid a bunch of money to get scans done and see specialists. Finally, he asked me if I wanted a referral to get an MRI, since he didn't see anything indicated on my x-ray. He then proceeded to tell me he doesn't think they will find anything on an MRI. So..... does he recommend the MRI or not?? I have no idea what the nuances between an X-ray and an MRI actually are, so how am I supposed to tell him whether or not I need both? A note to doctor Kjeldgaard: What you say, and how you say it, changes people's lives. I might not have been so easily dismissed, but a lot of people would have walked out of that visit feeling hopeless. If a specialist, like yourself, doesn't see the problem and is dismissive, it makes a solution seem impossible. In a world where medical care is exorbitantly expensive, and the number one reason people file for bankruptcy is medical debt, patients aren't coming to see you because they want to, but because they NEED help.

    I was referred to this place while experiencing acute back pain. Given a 1 pm appointment and I…read morecompleted all the info requested on the link on their text message. When I arrived, Lindsay at front desk said I would have to reschedule because I needed to fill out eight pages of paperwork and they couldn't wait for me to do that. (It was 1:04 pm). She told me they could reschedule for NEXT WEEK. I explained I was in such pain, I would gladly wait in hopes doctor could squeeze me in (waiting room was empty). But Lindsay said she couldn't allow that. I showed her the text message which had no mention of arriving at 1230 to do paperwork (why didn't they make my appointment say 1230 then, not 1 pm?) I think Lindsay was being arbitrary and unsympathetic. She needs to realize she is the face of this office and her uncaring attitude taints the entire clinic's perception. No, I won't be rescheduling with this place.

    I agree with what Rachel B stated. Dont go to spine team Texas! they will tell you insurance is in…read morenetwork and then you'll get a bill for out of network. when you call to question it, "its your responsibility to know, not the job of insurance verification department." as if anyone and everyone is an insurance verification specialist and knows what to ask! what a joke. I also could never see the same doctor! 1 Doctor, then another Doctor then a nurse practitioner then another nurse practitioner. Gave up after that. This is for the southlake office.

    Dr. Spiros Manolidis After self-diagnosing myself with…read moreTrigeminal Neuralgia due to suffering extreme shocks to the right side of my face matching the conditions to this disorder and losing 60% of my hearing on my right ear at the age of 30, I was referred to Dr. Spiros Manolidis by my ENT Doctor. I first saw Dr. Manolidis on July 1st, 2019 who saw my MRI scan and diagnosed me with a benign Acoustic Neuroma brain tumor. My heart and life fell apart not knowing what would happen next. To add to it, he informed me that because tumors grow so slow and the size of my current tumor, it was probable that my tumor was approximately 10-15years old! It was a "giant" tumor. As big as it can get pushing against the trigeminal and acoustic nerve. My tumor was also pushing my brain stem out of alignment and interwoven between these nerves. Dr. Manolidis was the first neuro type surgeon that I met and he took my wife and I in his care immediately. After being hit with such bad news, we left his office OPTIMISTIC! He took the time to reassure us that the medical science was there already to treat this type of tumor and told me to shop around different doctors, while recommending his own. HE IS NOT IN IT FOR THE MONEY! He referred me to Doctor Coimbra at Baylor Dallas! Anyone else would have just taken my money and did 'their best' in performing surgery. NO, he told me Dr. Coimbra was ONE OF THE MOST experienced doctors for the size of my tumor and the complexity of it. Mine measured as big as 5.4cm. Long story short, Dr. Manolidis was NOT able to perform the surgery on me ultimately due to scheduling conflicts, but I will never forget my first visit with him. I TRUST him. PLEASE LOOK UP DR. COIMBRA REVIEW TO FOLLOW MY STORY.

    For the minimalist patients out there, you will love this office, not to mention Dr. Manolidis…read more His personality is just so lovable and you can tell he loves what he does. Very fashionable man too might I add.
