Excellent experience as always! From the registration, questions from the nurse and ultimately meeting with Dr. Pravda, who is the epitome of a true professional. The entire team is excellent and I highly recommend this orthopedic group!!

Report
This place is horribly disorganized and infuriating. I come in for pains and they tell me I cant see anyone because of a 2 year old bill that they never sent to me, after making me do an hour and a half of calls and paper work. It would be helpful if they had told me about the bill beforehand but I guess not. On top of all that you cant ask about the bill at the front desk, but you can pay it there. The lady at the desk seemed super enthusiastic when saying we could just pay a bill blindly and gave a half sympathetic apology when I declined. Seriously this place is not genuine and disorganized

This place deserves zero stars. Doctor made me wait 45 minutes past appointment time for every visit, then got about 5 minutes with him before being sent along. They changed my procedure during surgery, a year later I have the exact same pains and issues I did as before surgery. During recovery they changed my medicine without seeing me, on top of that my prescription directions changed each time I needed a refill (twice a day? Three times?)
On top of everything they decided to send a $300 bill to collections during the pandemic despite us making payments on all the separate bills they sent
