If I could give zero stars, I would. NEVER NEVER take annyone you love to the Core Institute. They really hurt my mom during a procedure, the anesthesia didn't work and she yelled for the whole procedure and the doctor never stopped. The pain in her leg got worse and she couldn't really walk. I called and my mom called and no doctor ever returned our calls. When I called to complain, I was put on hold for more than 15 minutes. Guess they didn't want to hear what I had to say.

The Core Institute is the worst place to go if you are looking for decent patient service. We have SEVEN phone calls into this place over the course of four days without one single return call. The last call we made, we specifically asked not to be left to someones voice mail and guess what? Sent right to voice mail. Very poor for a medical group that advertises they are THERE FOR THEIR PATIENTS!! Go somewhere else and avoid the stress of this place.

This review is for Tyler Fiene who had shoulder surgery 3/8/18. Dr was wonderful.yesterday. He had a very long surgery schedule yesterday but you would never know it. He treated us like we were his only patient. And Dr. H the anesthesiologist was so wonderful, patient and detail oriented. Staff at the Surgery Center were so attentive and kind. And again although I was the last patient I couldn't tell. Thank you all.

Dr Nguyen is an amazing doctor and overall person who truly cares. He had me in surgery the next day due to a torn flipped meniscus. I was in so much pain and my knee was locked . The day after surgery I felt 100 percent better. Thank you Dr Nguyen and your staff at the Core Institute

He took the time to help my daughter on a very difficult day. She had ACL two years ago, now she tore the other knee. He took his time with us, guided us to MRI same day. Then took the time to read MRI and call us with the news, even though bad- how may doctors these day take that kind of interest. Thanks for caring for my daughter-
