Definitely not the way I wanted to spend a couple of hours a day after Christmas, but here we are…read more I woke up in pain and cramping on my right side and decided to call Orto SC, their new name, today for an appointment. They were able to get me in the same day and into see a wonderful provider. From the start my experience was great! The office staff were warm and welcoming. I checked in and completed my paperwork on one of their tablets. I love this because it was quick and easy compared to the thousands of papers that many offices still use. I got called back not too long after that by a nurse and she did some quick follow up questions. Then I was taken to get an x-ray and the provider came in. The nurse practitioner, Larissa Connell, was thorough, kind, and so funny. My mom came back with me and she spoke with both of us like we were old friends. She made me feel some comfortable and right at home. Larissa was even encouraging about my nursing school goals. She told me that a part of my hip was inflamed and that was causing all of my pain. She recommended a steroid shot and it was done quick and painlessly. The first thing I noticed that I was able to walk better. The pain has not completely gone away, but I am hoping with the exercises and time I will be back to myself again! I hope whoever is reading this will never have to use pain management services, but if you do OrthoSC is the way to go!

I saw a review describing this place as an "assembly line," and after being here twice, I…read morecompletely agree. This was my second time seeing Dr. Blair, and the experience was just as bad as the first. Patients are told to arrive early, even established patients who already completed everything online, only to sit in the waiting room 45 minutes past their appointment time before even being called back. Then another 20+ minute wait just to see the doctor for about 30 seconds, only to be told he would be back. After that, another 25-minute wait before he finally returned for an injection (he's gotta sneak in those extra 2 or 3 appointments). Dr. Blair has zero bedside manner, came across arrogant, dismissive, and immediately pushed surgery on a 46-year-old patient while claiming there were "no other options." I've never met a doctor so dismissive. What makes that even more concerning is that I sought a second opinion and was, in fact, given another treatment option. At no point did I feel like my pain or concerns were taken seriously. Isn't a doctor's job supposed to include treating pain and helping patients explore options instead of brushing them aside? The entire interaction felt rushed, cold, and transactional. OrthoSC feels like a run-of-the-mill greed factory where volume and money matter more than patient care. The lack of communication, respect for patients' time, and overall professionalism was incredibly disappointing. I gave them two chances, and they failed both times. I would never allow anyone from this practice to operate on me. If you are dealing with shoulder issues, I highly recommend Dr. William Greer. He was compassionate, patient, answered every question without acting annoyed, and actually spent time with me -- about 15 minutes, which felt like a completely different experience compared to OrthoSC.

BEWARE of Dr. Ryan Mathern!!!! I have been a patient at OrthoSC for well over 15 years. I was Dr…read more Parkers very first patient the very first day he started working with OrthoSC. Dr. Parker watched my daughter grow up, would always refer to her as "his baby" asking how she was doing and always wanting updates. He was truly not only a phenomenal dr, he was also a loving human being who treated everyone with such kindness, led by his heart and god. I was devastated when he said he was retiring. I am also a patient of Dr. Bohan, who is also amazing!! I had a knee issue that went on for over 3 years because the way I injured it was very unusual, and we tried everything other than surgery to fix it. We finally decided to do surgery, and to say Dr. Bohan was shocked at the outcome and what he found would be an understatement lol. He worried surgery would make my knee worse, but it ended up being the best thing we did and during my post op appointment he couldn't say anything except "amazing!" over and over in just disbelief. And Dr. Putman was also a dr of mine, again, due to injuring my wrist and needing surgery. Unfortunately I have not had the surgery as of yet due to having to work and this being my dominant arm.. I've also seen Tim for years, absolutely love him and his humor and accent! My mother loves Tim, of course Dr. Parker, and some of the other staff. I've never once had any issues there before Dr. Ryan Mathern. So it's safe to say I've been a long term patient at this office forever. Most of the original ladies who take the calls know me, my daughter and my mother well from me going there all these years. For Dr. Parkers appointments I went every single month. I've also had countless other medical issues including ovarian cancer in my early 20's, a rare form. Blood clots in both lungs at an insanely young age. I've always been abnormally thin but my entire body is full of arthritis. Endometriosis, thyroid, etc.... I currently have a lot of drs that are specialists, I see a lot of drs at MUSC and all over. I have never in my entire life experienced a dr like Ryan Mathern. This guy is a walking liability for any office who hires him. If you are a patient of Dr. Mathern or plan to become one, MAKE SURE YOU RECORD EVERY SINGLE CONVERSATION YOU HAVE WITH HIM AND RECORD PHONE CONVERSATIONS WHEN YOU CALL THE OFFICE. This dr will lie to cover himself, I have never ever seen any medical professional lie to the extent that this dr lies. It is truly scary! I tried contacting the office to let them know, they say their calls are recorded and going back to listen to my calls to that office, plus my insurance company calling them, plus the local pharmacist, would show how much he lies just about that stuff.. According to Ryan Mathern the insurance company, the pharmacist and myself are all telling lies. Everyone is telling lies except him. I also found out today that he is telling other drs and offices that I have countless missed appointments, I have never missed one appointment and have a recording of him admitting I never missed one appointment. In my recording he tried to claim I missed an appointment when I was sick, which again play your phone recordings back and you'll see he did not let me cancel and I came in that same day I called. What he is referring to is one of my monthly appointments was not put into the system, which daphne called and told me about it, again, that would be on their own recordings. So, I had to quickly get my monthly visit scheduled since it wasn't on the books for some reason, so instead of being seen on the 4th week I ended up being seen on the 5th week that month. I have tried writing this review several times and going into as much detail as possible but it's apparently too long and cuts me off. Besides recording your conversations with him, check what he's charging your insurance. I consistently get charged $115 out of pocket every single month and there were codes he put in for stuff he never did. Not even specialists at MUSC charge me that much in copays. Also, the urine screens are another cost. According to him himself (have him recorded saying it) he legally has to do 4 per year but he does far more than 4 per year. It's fine, I have never had an issue but if you want to do more than maybe you should cover that expense as the dr. But considering he is now claiming to other drs and offices that I have documented countless missed appointments, it's time to speak to my insurance company and an attorney because this sounds like insurance fraud since I have been billed every single month for appointments I supposedly never went to, according to Ryan Mathern himself. He also has a 5 star review because I noticed he will only send the review requests out if he feels he'll get a 5 star review from you. OrthoSC, I tried contacting y'all to let you know what is going on but nobody wants to call back. But he has gone too far.
