    First let me start out by saying that I have had moderate to severe pain in my lower back and right…read moreleg for approximately 30 years. I have been to several doctors (three) over the years to have this issue resolved. In general, all of the doctors said that this problem could not be permanently fixed, but they could help me manage my pain. I will never know if I was responsible for not getting the care I needed because I chose doctors with the wrong medical specialties, nevertheless less I decided to take a different approach. I called Dr Mark Prasarn an Orthopedic Spine Surgeon. After Speaking with Dr. Prasarn, I left his office feeling inspired. Nothing was fixed yet, but I was filled with hope. Dr. Prasarn said the cause of my back pain was Spondilolithesis. He also said that it wasn't as bad as some others that he has seen in the past and that the surgery could fix my problem. I really appreciate the fact that he spent a considerable amount of time with me that day. Dr. Prasarn has a very methodical approach regarding care. He first recommended that I try physical therapy, if there was little to no change in my pain level we would then move on to pain management. If the pain level persists, we would try surgery. It is good game plan for him to start with the least invasive strategies until he could provide a decision that matched my personal needs. I did eventually have surgery. After just two weeks from the day of my surgery the pain was completely gone. I waited four months to write this review because I wanted to see if there would be any recurring issues concerning my back pain. I am happy to report that I feel great!! I have not experienced any pain (nothing!). For me this surgery has been life changing. I can't tell you all the special accommodations that were made for me just to take a walk. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Prasarn a very good doctor and really a very nice person. He has the credentials and it is very obvious that he has a strong desire for helping people. For me, he was just the right person at the right time. I highly recommend Dr. Prasarn if you are experiencing any back pain that requires professional help

He said the multiple herniations in my neck were "Something everyone over 30 has. It's normal." Really? The doctor who ordered the MRI told me she felt like I needed to see a surgeon at this point because it's been 15 years of pain, and my problems are getting worse every year. I have tried everything. Literally everything to help my pain. I have spent so much money in pain management. All they did for me today was give me pain pills which I didn't want at all bc I can't even take them at work. I want it fixed. Not a bandaid. He said my extreme pain was "Headaches." Really? I know my own body and this isn't a headache or even a migraine. I wasted $100 and time off my job to be pushed off to another doctor. Yet again. I have been doing this dance from spinal to neuro, to spinal to neuro. I felt 0 sympathy or validation, like I was just another $. The only people who were nice to me were his PA, and the assistants. They were kind and actually listened. They validated my concerns. He referred me to neurology. When I asked him what they could do, he shrugged and said "I don't know, I'm not a neurologist." Don't waste your time or money.

    I've been going here for the past 3 months, about three times a week, and I couldn't be more…read moreimpressed. After having ACL and LET surgery with Dr. Lowe, I was fortunate to have Kim as my PT. She's incredibly knowledgeable, always knows how to push me just the right amount, and constantly cheers me on throughout my recovery. The communication between her and my doctor has been spot on, which has really helped my progress. When she's not around, I go to Kaleb and he's awesome as well! From the moment I walk in, Eze and Britany greet me with smiles and make the check-in process so smooth. The whole team, including techs - Nyla, Manny, and Isaiah, keep the energy up and are always willing to lend a hand. It's not just the staff--the other patients make this place feel like a community, and we all motivate each other as we work toward recovery. I truly appreciate the positivity and professionalism here, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of top-notch care!

    The product of a therapist's office like this really is a combination of the facility, process, and…read morethe medical care provider. Facility: Large, has the necessary equipment, feels communal, totally fine. Process: This is where I say 3 stars. The appointment booking process was confusing, I wasn't provided an address until I asked for it, and the billing happens (not gets sent, but happens) a full 30 days later, then gets sent out. If you are between insurance plans like me and need this to come through quickly, beware. That said, Ashley at the front desk as well as everyone I've spoken to on the phone are really nice. Care provider: The reason I'm writing is because I was moved by my initial consultation with my physical therapist Sean Harris. HARD 5 stars - I'd give him more if I could. I haven't even begun the meat of my treatment, and I already know. Once in a blue moon you meet someone whom you know truly cares about his work and his sphere of influence, and contributes meaningfully to make a difference without having to explain his reasons. Talk about someone who lives missionally. Even among medical professionals, that could be hard to find, and Sean is one of those people who make you yell, Jackpot - don't let this one go (I mean that as a healthcare provider, but I also hope his wife reads this). I went in because of my back. Long story short, I need to preserve bone density like it's gold and strengthen my back/core/glutes. I could've told you up to that part. But never did I think I'd be discussing at my physical therapy intro session the impact of vitamin D and be recommended to discuss with my other doctors the potential effects of hormonal intake on bone health. He took the time to explain his approach, shared his opinions founded on facts and research (I also noticed on his business card that he's a PhD candidate), and provided insight I never would've thought otherwise. I want to talk more about this time portion, because a busy care provider to talking to you means they are forgoing profit for you. I had booked a certain amount of time, and him going over that is a gesture that earns not only gratitude but also trust - that he really cares about me. There are other ways in which he made a difference, and he did so kindly and almost matter of factly. Hence why I'm championing Sean, unsolicited, at 8:45 in the morning. Needless to say, I'm thrilled for my next session and can't recommend him enough. That probably means it'll be harder for me to book time with him, but a medical professional like him needs to impact more change in people's lives, and I won't hog him to myself :) Thank you, Sean, for making the best impression. Looking forward to the impact!

    With 28 years in healthcare leadership, I was highly impressed by the flow of operations…read more Sometimes in healthcare, we forget how confusing the process can feel for patients - but Fondren Orthopedic Group truly has this on lock. It is one of the best, most seamless experiences I've seen. Our 5th floor visit went extremely well. From check-in to check-out, everyone was attentive, professional, and genuinely helpful. The 2nd floor visit was a bit different. At check-in, the young man appeared to be disengaged or bothered which is the person that checked us in and the young lady sitting next to him was preoccupied with her cell phone. While some may not notice, it was clear: head down, hands moving, and unaware that patient standing right in front of them. This comes across as disrespectful. A simple shift - putting phones away and being present - would make a significant difference. Aside from that, the care and service on the 2nd floor matched the excellence of the 5th floor. Overall, this is a great team of people and kudos to the hiring manager for building such a strong group. Sincerely E. L. Usher & Daughter Eva Alcorn

    I brought my toddler here at the recommendation of his chiropractor. We were thinking there was an…read moreissue with his hip. We had a little bit of a wait, but with as many patients as we saw in the waiting room, it really wasn't bad. The ladies in the front had everything running like a well oiled machine and with me filling out paperwork ahead of time and also being able to pay in advance, we had no clipboard full of papers to go over and we didn't have to show anything other than our ID. Once in the room, Dr. Gary Brock came in and was friendly. He immediately introduced himself to me and my husband and then tried to interact with my toddler who just wasn't having it. That's no fault of Dr. Brock... he's just a two year old who doesn't like being in one spot longer than 32.7 seconds lol. Dr. Brock DID manage to get a high five and as he was looking at my son's legs and hips, he was talking to us about what he was looking for and what he saw. He was also being as playful as my little guy would allow in his annoyance of not being on the run. My husband went with my son to get a couple x-rays and just about the time I thought we'd be doing some more waiting, Dr. Brock was already back with copies of the X-rays telling us everything looked good. He made sure that we got his card with his personal number on it and encouraged us to send him any videos of our son walking/running if we saw something that didn't look/feel right. He said he didn't want us to have to bother making an appointment and coming all the way to the office if he could help us over a text or call. Even though our initial wait was longer than a two year-old would prefer, we spent a grand total of 1.5 hours from the time we got our parking garage ticket to the time we were back in the car. Not bad for seeing a specialist on a busy Thursday.
