    I have seen Dr. Berry Werries twice now and I can say that unequivocally he is such a great ortho…read moredoctor extremely caring and patient. He sees you right on time with barely any waiting. He recently moved to South Florida from Illinois where he had a thriving practice but family medical needs came first. His office staff are just as nice and I am very happy to have found him. West Palm Beach is very lucky to have a doctor like him!

    Dr Werries was my surgeon for a meniscectomy and debridement of my knee in April 2019. I'll start…read moreby saying that I have had 12 orthopedic surgeries by 7 different orthopedic surgeons, including multiple surgeries on my other knee, and I have worked at academic medical centers for 22 years, so I have a pretty good idea what distinguishes a good surgeon from one that is not so good. In this type of surgery, pain results from the surgical procedure itself, since there is nothing other than debridement, so pain is inversely proportional to skill. I was walking without assistance (cane or crutches) that evening, and other than 2 doses of ibruprofen, I took nothing for pain. Even though I went back to work in 2 days, almost no one noticed anything abnormal. I was walking with a nearly normal gait by 4 days. So I would have to conclude that he did a pretty outstanding job. In addition, he has a great personality, and on top of that, his office staff are terrific. 100% recommendation from me!

    This review is not for this entire practice but specifically Dr. Melisa Estes. Quick background, my…read morewife (who came with me on the second visit) has over 35 years of professional experience and has dealt with and known hundreds of MD's. Never have I met a doctor that comes up short in so many ways, so numerous it's best to just make a list: She entered the examining room and never acknowledged the presence of my spouse. A head nod would have sufficed, and actually it was rude. She was "treating" a severe situation listed on the "pain" scale (1-10) as a ten. If you would like any compassion or empathy avoid this women. Told the medication she prescribed seems to have no effect, produced a shrug. She doesn't give the patient a chance to ask a question and offers up absolutely no information. The office treatment required five spine injections. Not a word or warning before she started. Would be nice to be told, "you'll feel a stick" or just "here we go". Still no information was forthcoming; injections should work in hours, days, weeks? A simple question about at home treatment, heat vs cold did get an annoyed response. After the injections she walked from the room without a word leaving the door half open. Minutes later we were called and told where to checkout. Guess we were done, huh? She clearly makes it obvious she's uncaring and doesn't give a damn about you and couldn't be more disinterested. BTW, this was the second visit yet she never asked if the first injections worked well or not at all. You would think that information would be of value to her. Visit her and you will get minimal information, no advise on the process, or expectations. What you will get is an attitude that indicates you're bothering her. She has all the warmth of a Pet Rock.

    Dr Estes is, in my opinion, the most condescending, aloof, Dr I have ever met. Went to her 4 or 5…read moretimes- and gave her a "new chance" each time. She is the perfect example why Drs should be held more accountable for their behavior and attitude. Discounted my issues as "minor" and treated me as if I shouldn't even be seeing her. When confronted- she kept repeating her "lines" like "I have explained to you... And this is what I can do for you." In a manner that really said in non-verbal gestures "I see so much worse, why are you complaining, your issue isn't important to me." She shoved me off to another Dr who flat out told me she had spoken to him "about me." But when I went to see him she clearly had not. She needs to come down from her ivory tower on mt Olympus and re- read her Hippocratic oath. I'm quite sure she has forgotten the just of it. Honestly I wouldn't waste my time writing about my experience with this Dr and office but when I saw another review that so closely mirrored my experience then I felt compelled to save someone else putting in time with someone like this... Go elsewhere and hope that she gets remedied by her superiors.

    My husband was walking like an old man, his back was in pain. He went to many different doctors,…read morephysical therapists, chiropractors and surgeons until friends recommended Dr. Billinghurst. Sonia, the office manager keeps things running like a clock. Dr. Billinghurst reviewed scans, reports and x-rays recommending surgery. We felt totally confident in Dr. Billinghurst & weren't disappointed. Besides from having a wonderful bedside manner, he's a skilled surgeon. My husband developed a staph infection & he worked with the team of infectious disease experts & aggressively opened& flushed the wound. It's been 6 months he's be in the care of Dr. Billinghurst & he has his life back!

    For those who have issues with their back, Dr Billinghurst should be your go-to doctor to address…read moreyour back issues.Unfortunately Yelp only allows a maximum of 5 stars otherwise I would rate him higher. For starters, Dr Billinghurst has a very good bedside manner. He tells you what needs to be done in a way that even if you are not well versed in the medical field you can understand it and not feel as if he is talking down to you. When I have needed injections he told me where the pain would be and how much pain. He also mentions if you will feel pressure as opposed to pain. When it turned out I needed surgery, he told me what to expect. He also mentioned that if I chose to have a 2nd opinion, the answers I could expect to get from other doctors. After my surgery, he monitored me and had me come in on a timely basis to check on my progress. After recovering from my surgery, I will say that I can do a whole lot more and in a lot less pain. On this note when he does give you an injection, it is not as painful as when other doctors do it. I thought before he gave me the epidurals they would be quite painful. Thankfully they were not and I have had other doctors give me an epidural. They were more painful. He also is more thorough. One other thing I need to add here; a while back I had a follow-up appointment for 1:30. Sonia his assistant called me around 12 that day to say that he was running behind. If we moved the appointment to 2, he would be able to see me without a delay. Like I said, I would rate him more than 5 stars if I could. I highly recommend Dr Billinghurst for your back issues. You will be glad you saw him for it.
