I broke my foot while teaching a barre class so I found myself in sudden need for an orthopedic doctor. I read the reviews (all positive) so I called for an appointment. I found Dr. Hyde on the list of providers that accept my insurance. While we were on the phone, a same-day appointment came available so they slid me in. Dr. Hyde was incredibly thoughtful, caring and thorough. I am so glad I chose her. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone with an orthopedic need. read more

Carolyn M Hyde, MD - My temporary "running mate" booty - Sports Medicine Near Me - Austin, Texas

Dr. Hyde is incredibly thorough and does such a great job at explaining the testing and procedures she is doing. She is very friendly; you can tell that she absolutely loves her patients and loves being a doctor. read more

Just an update, since another family member has been back to see the doc for different issues. Dr. Hyde is still an excellent, compassionate, conservative doctor. She has, unfortunately, become incredibly busy, so there are some changes. It will probably take patients a couple of weeks at least to get in to see her, and once in, you may see her about every other appointment, and her Physician's Assistant the other times. Her PA is kind and competent, as well. You may also have to wait awhile for your appointment once you're there, because sometimes she gets behind, depending on patient needs for the day. She's in surgery a couple of days a week. Dr. Hyde has also brought another doc, Dr. Thomas, into her practice, and his schedule was a little more open than hers when we called. The front office is busy and office staff can get a little flustered at times. But their hearts are in the right place. That counts for something. read more

Wow. Dr. Hyde blew me away. I am a nurse with 25 years of experience with surgeons. I saw a family friend/orthopedic surgeon for my left knee a year ago and was so unimpressed. He was old school (although about Dr. Hyde's age). He didn't even show me the films and explain them to me (old school). Dr. Hyde's assessment skills were extremely thorough. Her diagnosis made sense based on my symptoms, her assessment and films. She is focused, detailed oriented, brilliant and kind. read more

Brilliant doctor, no BS, just the facts. I went to her after having dislocated my shoulder and a visit to TX orthopedics(Dr. Scott Smith). She checked out my shoulder in detail and provided a non-surgical diagnosis which involved rehab followed by a check up few weeks later. There was no up selling of services that I did not need. I would strongly recommend going to Dr. Hyde for any orthopedic services. Edit: There is a little bit of a wait time, since she is the only doctor in the office; but trust me it's worth it. read more

dr Hyde is excellent. I have been seeing her for knee pain and after MRI she reviewed all options with me over treatment. she did the best exam on my knee and was clear that I had a large say in my treatment. Her staff is all professional and most helpful. I will recommend her to all my friends for any knee problems. My goal is no surgery and she is supportive of my decision Judy Wheeler read more

Dr. Hyde is not only professional, she knows what she's talking about. I was given her name by recommendation and so glad I followed through with it. The entire staff that work with Dr. Hyde are also professional and take care of their patients to the max. I have already referred friends to Dr. Hyde, as I was impressed by her knowledge on my first visit with her. I highly recommend Dr. Hyde for anyone seeking joint health pain relief. Signed by a very happy patient! read more

I first saw Dr. Hyde in about 1996 when I needed ACL reconstructive surgery after a car accident. She did a great job and my knee did very well. Fast forward to March 2012 when I fell on my right shoulder and had a full thickness tear to my rotator cuff. She repaired it and after several weeks of PT the shoulder works great! In 2013, I was having problems with my left shoulder and once again went to see Dr. Hyde. This shoulder was even worse than the right shoulder. She spent a lot of time in the surgery suite making sure everything was addressed in the shoulder. I am now 2 months post-op and the range of motion is almost completely back. She is a great surgeon that my husband is now going to have total knee replacement in the coming months. read more

She seems to have a good knowledge of what the knee joints look like and how they behave given certain circumstances (and draws it out for you - EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.). She's quick to suggest cortisone shots or plasma (which insurance doesn't cover), but when I tried to describe what the symptom(s) feel(s) like when doing XYZ, she interrupts to interject what she believes I feel. She's condescending and defensive. When I asked about the "request an appointment" button on their website (which I've submitted numerous requests with no response - I work the same schedule her office does and can't break away to make personal phone calls during the work day), she got very defensive and accusatory - "yeah, we've reported it. You should have just called - now we're past the 30 days to know if the shot worked or not. I can listen to you bitching about it, or we can move on." Ummm, why don't you take it off your website? I'm here trying to tell you the shot did not work! I've been trying to schedule an appointment for months to tell you the shot did not work! How about actively listening to your patients and what their concern(s) is/are before lecturing? read more

Dr. Hyde recently replaced my knee, she laid out my options, explained everything fully and let me decide. She is very direct and focused, I really felt involved in every step of my treatment. I need my other knee replaced and she will definitely be the Doc. I choose! read more

Dr. Hyde is fantastic. My husband and I have used her for ski injuries since 1996. She is an excellent surgeon and has a good bedside manner. She keeps us on the slopes and in one piece. I wouldn't use anyone else. read more

I concur with all that has been written about Dr. Carolyn Hyde. Very attentive and thorough. She is helping me stave off the knee replacement that is inevitable. I saw someone about my knee prior to Dr Hyde. The comparison is night and day- that guy only looked at my x-ray, didn't touch my knee, and offered an extremely limited treatment plan. He was real bright and peppy when telling me that I could use a cane and that I should stop going on walks. It is good to know what a good Dr looks like! Thanks Dr Hyde! read more

I have seen Dr. Hyde for two years for my knees. I have been receiving the injections to stave off knee replacement. She has always been very attentive and willing to listen to me and answer all my questions. I highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Hyde did my fifth knee surgery and she is the best knee doc I've ever been to. She takes her time to explain what is going on and gives you plenty of time to ask questions to make sure you know 100 percent what is wrong/needs to be fixed, etc. She actually listens to you and doesn't make you feel like you're at a cattle call. I am 1.5 months post surgery and am doing better than any of my other surgeries. I only wish I had found her sooner so she could have fixed my other knee! read more

I love Dr. Hyde she speaks in orthopedic terms you can understand her staff is professional and very attentive.

I've been a long-time patient of Dr. Hyde's - I play sports and she's the best orthopedic sports doctor I've seen. We send a lot of the girls from my team to her, as well, as she is more goaled and invested in getting someone moving again than some doctors who just expect you to "stop using that body part". She has repaired my broken/dislocated ankle, diagnosed my no-cartilage-havin' knee caps and gives me options to keep them pain free, and has more recently surgically remodeled my torn up right shoulder. She is thorough, wastes no time in getting you on to the next step, and my favorite - draws plenty of pictures to educate you as to what is happening. She stays up to date on the latest treatments and is pretty knowledgeable as to how those treatments work with your insurance. I'd recommend her any day! read more

I called to make an appointment as a new patient, and the staff was so rude I decided that if this was my first impression of what it would be like to work with this office, I was better off making an appointment where the staff was cordial and warm. It's a shame because this doctor could be very talented but first impressions go a very long way. read more

I would never recommend her. One of many doctors in Austin that was fat prejudice and would not help my husband get out of pain and replace his knees. Back in 2000 She refused to give him a prescription for an electric wheelchair so he could work, but gave him a script for Canadian Crutches instead. She did not have a problem shooting up his knees with cortisone though. His knees were bone on bone from working hard all his life and had gained weight because of it and chronic back pain. His pain doctor gave him a script for an electric wheelchair that he worked out of for 7 years.it took us that long to find a doctor that would agree to work on his knees. Finally we found Dr Shelby Carter who replaced his knees in 2007 and did an excellent job with no judgement whatsoever. read more

Dr. Hyde (no relation to Dr. Jekyll) :) was a pleasure to deal with. I have 2 bad knees and she took the time to explain an overall strategy for improving my situation with the most conservative methods possible. Definitely not the Dr. to push surgery as an immediate option. I've never waited long and the staff and Dr. were the best! read more

There are no words perfect enough to sing Dr. Hyde's praises. I trust her with all my orthopedic needs. I've had five procedures and each has produced a positive outcome. If you are looking for a dedicated, focused, competent surgeon, look no further. Carolyn Hyde gets things done and gets them done correctly. read more

Dr. Hyde is the most kind, considerate, caring, and thorough doctor I have ever been met. I have been going to Dr. Hyde for a few years for my knee and the way she explains everything in detail helps those of us of our who are not physicians understand. I went to two other surgeons before I found Dr. Hyde who didn't communicate very well. Dr. Hyde performed my knee surgery in April and again, she thoroughly explained the surgery beforehand and helped me understand what I would experience after my surgery. I've also seen Dr. Hyde for my hand and since I may have surgery again soon, I'm happy to have a competent surgeon on my side. read more

Took a week to just hear back if they took my insurance. (They don't) She did a good job and I'm happy with my knee surgery from her years ago and I would have considered wading through staff issues to use her again and maybe even pay out of pocket bc of the prior relationship, but after a week of calling just about every day and hearing, "I'll call you right back in 15 minutes, I got your number right here" (Didn't happen, had to call back the net day - again.) after all that I figure its a sign.... Too bad. Anyone know a good knee surgeon that takes Sendero? read more

Dr. Hyde fixed the tear in my shoulder tissue. She's great!! She explained the problem with words and pictures I could understand. She sent me to a very competent physical therapist after the surgery. It is now a year and a half later and I'm still extremely pleased with the results. My golf game is back and I continue to be free of pain. Thanks to Dr Hyde, her staff and her associates. read more

Dr. Carolyn Hyde is an exceptional surgeon and ortho doctor. I had knee surgery in January of 2015 to repair a torn meniscus and to fix a few other things. She is very thorough and just all around amazing. I would send anyone to her. I liked her so much I got my shoulder diagnosed :). I found out I had a torn rotator cuff. I had surgery last week. She found other issues and fixed them all during the surgery. My surgery time ended up being 5 hours because I had 5 tendon tears and a bone spur. If you want it done right, go to her for surgery. She can be late at times but I don't care.... I will wait as long as needed to see her. She is that good. read more

I first saw Dr. Hyde for fractures of both the bones in my left leg just above the ankle. These old fractures were nearly healed, but an a badly wrong angle. She carefully explained the treatment options, from simply letting it heal to surgical realignment and instrumentation. I opted for surgery and obtained the optimal outcome I sought. She also worked with me through several difficult and challenging shoulder problems. Despite serious osteonecrosis in my right shoulder, I am now pain-free with a full range of motion. Dr. Hyde was always patient and never rushed me out of her office; she took the time to be sure I understood my diagnoses and treatments. Sadly, I had to leave her care when I moved out of Austin. If it had been possible, I would have brought her with me. read more
