The Orthopedic Group, Fairhope, Alabama The following chain…read moreof events that follows is from personal experience I had visited this group of orthopedic doctors on one other occasion. My experience had been good in that my appointment was kept on time and I was in and out in a timely manor. My second visit was at the recommendation of my regular orthopedic doctor. Again, I was in and out in a timely manor. From there, all seems to have gone down hill. I was scheduled for surgery on my left thumb on March 21 2019 at 1:00 pm. I was given written instructions to follow prior to surgery. According to the instructions I was to have nothing to eat or drink after 12 am on Wednesday night. I was to be at the out-patient facility at 11:30 on Thursday morning. All of these things were followed, even though industry standards suggest that there should be no food or drink only 6 hours prior to surgery. When I arrived at 11:30 there were 2 other patients already there and a 4th came in shortly after. At approximately 2:00 pm a nurse came to the door and called the third person back to be prepped. She told me it would not be much longer. When I was finally taken back for surgery prep, I ask the nurse why we were all there at the same time. I was told that it was just in case someone didn't show up. I specifically ask here if that meant that the doctors time was valuable and our time as patients wasn't. Her reply was, that pretty much sums it up!!! I finally went in for the procedure at approximately 3:30 and was I was back in the room in about an hour. The doctor did come by and tell me that the procedure was a little more extensive than he thought it was going to be and that was the reason it took a little longer than he thought. I left the facility to go home with a prescription for pain meds in hand a little before 5 pm. I arrived the the drug store to fill prescriptions, to be informed that the doctor failed to sign the prescription. This was a prescription with narcotics, so his signature was REQUIRED! I call his office only to get the on call nurse who called him and came back on the phone with me to tell me there was nothing she could do but to phone something else, but it would not be as strong. (As it ended up, the phoned in prescription was only about half as effective as the original would have been). Lets recap so far...No food or drink for 15 hours and 30 minutes prior to surgery, note the 6 hour industry standard, and arrive 4 hours prior to surgery,(for doctors convenience). I was sent home with a prescription that I could not have filled, not even a phone call from the doctor with an apology, nor any offer to call one of his colleagues in the local area to have them write a prescription for adequate pain relief. All this combined shows little of no compassion or concerns for his patients well being. I guess his attitude was that since he was not the one in pain, it really didn't matter. I went for a follow up visit today, 4/4/19. Stitches removed and all seem fine, however even after a week, there was no apology for failing to sign the prescription from the week before. Which just reinforces my theory about no compassion for his patient. I would think long and hard before going back to The Orthopedic Group for any procedure.

There are a few spots to park in shade and around back there is plenty of parking also…read more When you enter you must read the signs to figure out where to go. Then check in on a kiosk. If you ask the people at the desk, they just instruct you to check in on the kiosk into which you are to enter in your insurance and social security number along with scanning your insurance cards and drivers license. On one hand I like that other people aren't handling your information, on the other it's very impersonal and the people at the desk seem like they don't want to be bothered (due to the eye roll) and I should've obviously seen and known that I'm supposed use the kiosk to check in. Then you have to read the signs to determine which side of waiting room to sit on for which ever doctor you are to see. The X-ray tech was very nice, fast and professional. The physical therapy staff are all very sweet and professional. The Doctor was excellent and I am very impressed with the efficiency of the office overall. Highly recommend.
