I am a little over one year post-op of my total knee replacement. At my first appointment, and…read moreafter looking over my x-rays, Dr. Zlotnicki entered the exam room. He introduced himself and explained what my x-rays revealed. He then said he was glad I came in and proceeded to talk about pain management options. I chose to have knee surgery, at which time he cited his availability to do my surgery. My surgery went well and so did my follow up appointments. During one of my appointments, I asked for additional physical therapy to help increase my knee bend. One year later, and with the extra physical therapy, I feel good and have returned to many of my normal activities. My experience with Dr. Zlotnicki was very positive.

Love Dr. Z, he is a very caring individual but the practice is a joke. My wife Susan Grimes had an…read moreinitial procedure done nearly 5 weeks ago with good result so she could move on to a second and eventually a third. She has not heard anything back from the office about a pre-authorization so she contacted the insurance company and they have not received anything either to date so she has been trying to get in touch with the doctors office multiple times with no answer most of the time or on hold forever, has contacted the insurance company multiple times with them trying to contact the doctors office because they have received no authorization request. The insurance has contacted the doctors office and each time been passed around from department to department after being on the phone for long durations each time and would have to hang up due to time waiting. Dr. Z is Great but there office logistically sucks! My wife is seeking another doctor as well as a different hospital system. Patient's beware Caromont is very lacking in Patient Service!!!

SO I am still hoping for a good outcome

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.

Saw Dr. Hamm who was just fine. Yes, another 6 weeks of PT was ordered though none of that has…read morehelped the pain in my hips and lower back before, but okay, sure. 6 weeks later no improvement (and in many ways the pain was worse after PT.) So he shuffles me over to Dr. Haines. One aspect of my treatment is that no doctor wishes to view my issues for their complexity. Every doctor decides "It's the left hip!", as the only one with a replacement, and ignores the rest. Marvelous. Same thing here but cool, we try again. Haines is okay, except she seems highly disorganized. She promised to call after she viewed my xrays. She did not. Still haven't heard from her. I insisted that small bore MRIs aren't something I can use(nobody should, they're horrible), large bore or open MRIs only. She promised she would take care of that. She did not. Some scheduler called to set me up with a small bore and I refused, told her I explicitly told the doctor no small bore. The scheduler said she wasn't informed of that. So she transfers me somewhere for an Open MRI that ends up being in Rock Hill SC. Surely there is an Open MRI or large bore inside Charlotte. In fact, a search shows there are 5 or 6. So why, pray tell, am I being forced to drive to SC for an MRI? Not only that but some other scheduler is leaving me messages for an MRA appointment....but the return call number rings four times and hangs up. So how many schedulers did Dr Haines set me up with? What is going on here? None of the schedulers even know who ordered the MRI or the difference between large and small bore MRIs. Yes, I could use The Magical Portal I guess, though even my husband is sick of having to invent new passwords every time he tries to use it since the old ones disappear. At this point, I'd have 7-10 portals to juggle which I refuse to do. If someone wants to pay me to input patient information into some off-sight database where it can be hacked or shared with multitudes, they can do that. I get the feeling that Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute Sports Medicine really doesn't want me as a patient. I was hoping for an alternative to The Bone Yard of OrthCarolina but sadly this is not it. Wish we had access to a teaching hospitals and practices like Duke and Bowman-Grey, in Charlotte, rather than these hedge fund managed clinics.

I arrived 10 minutes before my scheduled time. The secretary ignored me until I said "excuse me"…read more She was so engrossed in watching her phone she did not realize I was there. She told me she would check me in at my scheduled time and to take a seat in the waiting area (suggesting the family waiting area). I decided I would wait in the patient waiting area as I was not confident she would remember I was there. Another patient came in and she rudely told her to come back in 5 minutes because she was on her lunch break and would not be checking anyone in until 1 PM. Without a beat she turned back to her phone and continued watching her phone. She was so rude. What a poor representation of this office! I say that because as soon as you get called back your experience changes. Everyone from the CNA who takes your vitals and blood sugar to the nurses and MD in the procedure through post procedure are all AMAZING. Everyone of them are professional yet so personable. They tell you what to expect as you are in the procedure and do a great job with the discharge instructions. The nurse even calls to check on you the next day! Now, that is excellent care and support! Dr Thakur is excellent. I highly recommend him for both in office evaluation and for your procedure. I feel 100% safe with Dr. Thakur's expertise. I would not go anywhere else. Don't let your front office experience alter your opinion of the care you will get when it really matters.

The care is thoughtful and it's a convenient location to get in and out easily (no parking decks or confusing office parks).
