I had a bad fall on February 21 and injured my left arm. I was seen February 23 at UVa Culpeper…read moreMedical Center Orthiopaedics by PA Elena Saykaly. Elena is extremely nice and very competent. She reviewed the x-rays for my painful, bruised left arm and determined I had no fractures and it is likely sprained. She explained everything SO well and told me things I had never known about bones! She had me make a future appointment in case my arm does not heal in 10 days and she will x-ray me again. Her nurse, JILL, was extremely helpful fitting me with a ProCare brace to wear for the 10 days. It's very comfortable and feels secure and good on my arm. I also want to compliment Receptionist DANIELLE without whom I would never have had this appointment! She found it for me when I desperately needed to see someone after my fall. Danielle is always there when we go to Orthopaedics or Podiatry and is the most efficient, cheerful person I know! Thank you to everyone for excellent care!! Annie Rowe, Madison, VA.

Honestly, if I could rate this practice negative stars I certainly would. Let's start by the…read moreunprofessional treatment patients receive at this practice. This practice treats patients like an inconvenience. Patients are brought in after lengthy waits and then they are seen by interns. The interns are quite disrespectful in their approach. On one particular day, I witnessed an intern being asked MULTIPLE times to stop touching a patient's body as they were causing extreme pain, they IGNORED the patient's directive to stop touching them and continued to do so. This is an outrageous act by any medical provider. Especially when you consider that patients coming to this practice cannot physically move their body away from a person or situation as easily as someone who is not injured. I called to report this act and the proper attention was not given to this matter. Additionally, the physicians at this practice do not seem to care about the needs of the patient. They quickly pop in a room after the interns and do not adequately address the concerns of patients. I do not recommend this facility unless you want to pay someone to ignore your actual needs and treat you like a number instead of a human.

I needed surgery to repair it. The woman's insurance company was threatening to sue me and harassing me multiple times a day to try to get me to dismiss the injuries as false. I also had a concussion, couldn't hear out of my left ear for a few months, had Bell's palsy, shingles and 3 bulging discs in my neck. I told Dr. Grant I thought I was going to have to get a lawyer to get Geico to stop harassing me, and he accused me of being the problem. fine, whatever, have your opinion. something else he did disgusts me. He told me and 2 other family members he released an entrapped tendon and repaired my rotator cuff, but in my surgical notes he changed that. luckily for me he wrote it on my post op note when leaving the hospital in his handwritten statement. it's the only up reason my medical costs were covered. what a jerk! do better Dr. grant! thank god I had a lawyer because my doctor didn't care what happened to me. that's clear. his surgery skills were fine, however.

Dr. Grant and the entire Albemarle Orthopaedics staff were terrific. I've never had a better…read moremedical experience. They were friendly, extremely helpful and very thorough and clear about getting information and conveying treatment options. I ended up getting surgery on my knee. It was done quickly and well and my follow up care was excellent. I could not be happier with the care I received from everyone in the office. The whole operation is very patient-centered and they are very accommodating about everything from appt. times to extra attention when a complication arises . The personal attention is very genuine and they really listened to what I wanted.

The receptionist has been offensive and abusive in every interaction I've had with her as well as humiliating. I would like to keep the care and services of Dr. Disabato but his front desk makes it impossible to continue. I will never subject myself to that kind of treatment again. Be mindful and aware.

Dr. Cooper and the staff at UVA ortho did a complete ankle replacement. EVERYONE there was kind, helpful, compassionate, comforting, and supportive.

Dr.Li is an excellent surgeon. He correctly diagnosed a spine problem that had caused me to have constant pain for nearly a decade. I had seen 3 other surgeons and a host of other doctors who were unable to help me. He performed a spinal fusion that was life changing for me, and he was so kind and helpful.

I have not had an appointment with Dr Sukovich. My experience with him is through a Peer to Peer…read morecall he had yesterday with my surgeon who recommended a procedure to finally alleviate decades of pain in my lower back. Dr Suckovich represented United Healthcare. And because my pain and condition did not meet the criteria of the boxes he was checking I was flatly denied care by UHC. Dr Sukovich has never met me. I am a disabled veteran and a retired Police Officer with almost 30 years on the street. He has never seen me pull myself across the floor because there was no one to lift me. He has not seen me take an hour and a half to get into bed because severe pain would not allow me to raise my body more than six inches above the floor. He has never been there when I could not get out of a bath tub and end up slithering out like a snake with a broken back. He hasn't been there for the numerous injections, epidurals, nerve ablations. I am a muscular 63 year old. I take very good care of myself. I never miss a payment to UHC and hoped I could count on them to allow me to undergo the necessary procedure to stop this screaming pain. It is UHC's policy that surgery is not necessary to alleviate severe back pain. I have several bulging, herniated discs. A gift I received serving the citizens. Though hurt I continued. Feeling that upon retirement I could be helped. Not according to Dr Sukovich.
