I recently had an appointment at Watauga Orthopedics with Dr. Richard W. Duncan on December 10,…read more2024, to discuss some issues I've been having with my shoulder and neck. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't as positive as I had hoped. During my appointment, I explained my symptoms to Dr. Duncan and he had me do a couple of exercises to assess my strength. However, I struggled with one of the exercises, and instead of offering support or understanding, Dr. Duncan's comment, "come on now, you can do this," felt dismissive. His comment was very unprofessional, and I am thinking "are you kidding me?" Additionally, Dr. Duncan recommended a procedure, but after how he handled my struggle with the exercise, I definitely didn't feel comfortable with him performing any medical procedure on me. I left the appointment feeling uncertain about the next steps. He didn't clearly explain why the procedure needed to be done twice or why it was required by the insurance company, which left me feeling confused and without a full understanding of my options. Even the X-ray he provided had unclear medical notes that I couldn't make sense of, and he didn't offer any explanation to help clarify them. Overall, I felt that Dr. Duncan lacked empathy and a proper bedside manner, which made the experience uncomfortable. I would have appreciated more detailed communication and professionalism. It's important for healthcare providers to listen to patients and clearly explain medical processes. I hope that future visits to Watauga Orthopedics are handled with more transparency and compassion. BTW I haven't received a survey asking about my experience, but I have received several emails regarding my co-pay. And of course, I'll pay my co-pay because who wants or needs $50 going to collections. Sarah W.

When we think of Acupuncture most of us think of the relief it provides for those in physical pain…read more What some don't realize is that Acupuncture provides a variety of support to those experiencing not only physical pain, but emotional pain as well. For me, Acupuncture has greatly benefited my life and has become a regular part of my health care plan. I have worked with Dr. Britt Potter for the past few years for various health issues I have experienced. From regenerative nerve pain as the result of excruciating surgeries to dealing with my grief from losing my stepfather and the end of my 15-year marriage, Dr. Potter has carried me through. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he also has a lovely and caring disposition. I feel safe knowing he loves what he does and he comes to the table with a compassionate and nonjudgmental attitude. Dr. Potter continually delivers a consistent experience. No matter what symptoms I present, he intuitively knows just what path to take. He is gentle, but confident in his approach. I am afraid of needles, so he takes that into consideration with every treatment. He takes his time and waits for my permission to continue through the session moving at a pace that feels comfortable to me. I can honestly say that after even just one session I begin to feel relief. Dr. Potter also offers flexibility in scheduling making it even easier to book much-needed appointments. This ensures I prioritize continued self-care. If you are looking for a skilled, thorough Acupuncturist, please do yourself a favor and book with Dr. Britt Potter. I guarantee you will not regret it. Dr. Potter has made a true believer out of me that the work works. He'll do the same for you as well.

I decided against taking out a bone and, after my first acupuncture treatment, I had no pain for a month.

The only downside is this location is only open Monday through Wednesday. I highly recommend this place.

They provided really good directions and there was ample parking when I arrived. Unfortunately there was a terrible auto accident on US26S and I was held up in traffic and arrived a little late but the Doctor welcomed me and was very understanding . Both the Doctor (Kim) and her Assistant/ Secretary (Rob) made me feel at ease and made sure I was comfortable. The facility was very clean, modern, and comfortable. Since this was my first visit the Doctor had to review my medical record while I completed a new patient data form. Even so, I didn't wait more than 10 minutes maximum before being called it to see the Doctor. In my experience I found her to be very intelligent, professional, polite, courteous, thoughtful and very thorough. I really liked the way that she listened to my concerns and actually appeared to care about my well being. Instead of being like so many doctors with the DICTATOR complex she actually explained things to me in a manner that I could easily understand them and she suggested a number of options for me to consider and choose. However, I must clarify that the Doctor was very professional and she did counsel me on my weight and the ramifications and dangers to my overall health and well being. But then she countered with very sensible and viable solutions so I can also say that she is well rounded :) t was a very pleasant doctor visit if there ever was one :) I would definitely recommend her to all of my family, friends, and colleges alike.
