Atrium sports medicine and injury is a great place to go when you need support for your injuries. I…read moresee them for my back, neck, and shoulder. Every time I've gone, I've had the best experience. The doctor takes time to talk to me and explain what's going on. He allows me to decide my course of treatment, as opposed to pushing me in one direction or the other. If you need to get trigger point injections, they do them at the office. For more invasive treatments, you have to go to one of the Charlotte locations. Thankfully one of them is just off 485, about 10-15 minutes from the Concord office. I am so glad I was referred to this office. The doctors are excellent and the staff are so friendly. I highly recommend this practice to anyone that needs this type of support. Dr. Thakur is amazing. He manages my back and neck area. Dr. Messick manages my shoulder. I appreciate them tremendously. I promise you will not be disappointed. Be well!

Saw Dr. Hamm who was just fine.

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.

Not only did they get us one immediately, but we were seen and x-rayed within 20 minutes of arrival. From the front desk to the techs and PAs, everyone was kind and so helpful.

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