I'm beyond disappointed with Precision Orthopedic and Sports Medicine. My son had a scheduled…read moreinjury appointment Dr Robert Bayless-- we arrived early, filled out all paperwork, and then sat for over 90 minutes with no update, no apology, and no sense of urgency. When I asked the front desk if they would accept a patient who was 45 minutes late, they said they don't even allow someone who's 15 minutes late. Yet somehow, it's fine for them to make us wait endlessly. That's not just inconsiderate -- it's disrespectful. I understand that some patients take longer than expected, but this level of delay and poor communication shows zero respect for the people waiting. Doctors expect patients to value their time, but clearly don't value ours. Completely unprofessional. Precision needs to do much better.

Great staff at both the front office and the PT team in Irving…read more Unfortunately, my experience with billing is the reason I'm not leaving 5 stars. First, I was charged a no-show fee for an appointment with a PA that I never scheduled. Second, I was charged a no-show fee for a Monday PT appointment during a major ice storm, when schools were closed for multiple days and the City of Irving Police Department advised residents to stay off the roads. Most businesses, including grocery stores and banks, were also closed. If the clinic had used its texting system to clearly notify patients that appointments were still being held and that no-show fees would apply, that would be different. But expecting patients to travel in unsafe conditions without any communication is unreasonable. Because of this billing approach, I'll be continuing my care elsewhere.

Some employees started acting unprofessional and making me wait longer apparently in purpose. Today, a week after I had to get a copy of my X-ray myself because they didn't send it to the provider even if they called. Had me waiting over 40minutes to get a simple resolution , when the office was completely empty when I arrived and they kept taking calls in my face and attending anyone that came after me. I literally had to stand up and ask the lady as she seemed to completely forget about me even if I was in front of her. Unfortunately couldn't get her name as I had to introduce myself when checking in as they both was ignoring me when walked in. Pretty shitty overall, I understand we all about our business as I take care of one myself, but lack of empathy and respect is unacceptable. Leave extra 1 star for the good people working in the back as they did help as much as they could. ADDITION TO THIS REVIEW THE INCOMPETENT LADY COULD SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH MY IMAGES SINCE MINUTE ONE BUT DECIDED TO PASS THE BALL AND ACT STUPID UNTIL THEY HEAR ME LOST MY NEW APPOINTMENT AND NOW I WON'T RECEIVE SURGERY IN 3 MORE WEEKS. AFTER THEY SEE ME DESESPERATED AND IRRITATED SHE DECIDED THAT IT WAS A GOOD TIME TO LET ME KNOW THAT SHE COULD SEND AN EMAIL!! If you're reading this you deserve to be fired and lowkey find another style of work as your customer service is shit.

About NOON, we finally got to see the neurosurgeon (Nickname "TheCuteOne"). He asks me about my migraines, my numbness, my symptoms, and really listens to what I had to say. For once in this whole crazy shabang, I had a doctor listening to ME! He pulls out the MRI (and the X-rays sent with me by the Chiropractic Neurologist I had seen the week before) and shows the Chiari and starts drawing little happy faces and lines on it. The fact that my Chiari is only 8mm was a good thing and he said that it just didn't look like they were crowding each other that bad. It was possible that the "hole" that the cerebellar tonsils fell in is bigger than "bigger than normal." He says that he wants me to go get a second opinion (maybe a third if 2nd doesn't agree), but he just didn't think my condition was bad enough for surgery at this time. He wants to talk to the other doctor if Mr.2ndOpinion thinks I need surgery, and he wants to send me to a new neurologist to start a brand new pain medication and treatment plan to see if we can treat my Chiari without a knife and a zipper-scar. After he talks to me "TheCuteOne" asks my parents if they have any questions. My mother brings up the 2nd MRI that I had done last week and the absence of a syrinx. He flat out tells us that had my 2nd MRI from Tuesday resulted positive, and that I had a syrinx, then instead of pain medication and new doctors... that our conversation today would have been more along the lines of hospital gowns, designs shaved into the back of my head, and what color stitches I wanted in my zipper. He said that the Chiari surgeries were "FUN" and that you get to go in there and see all kinds of neat stuff.. but he frankly didn't think I needed it yet. He's a brain surgeon, he says he does necks and backs for "FUN." Then he seals the deal by saying, in front of my parents, "if you were my daughter, I wouldn't do surgery." This was the first neurosurgeon I saw for Chiari and I was a little put off by his suggestion that my surgery was something he did for fun, like waterskiing. The reason I can't give Dr. Cwikla more than the 1 star, is because he is the one who referred me to Deborah Cantrell... the drug dealer who made the first six months of my life as a diagnosed Chiarian a living Hell.

I went to Dr. Shadad twice after and she has me on medication for memory but she literally does nothing else. Today in less than 5 minutes total she decided oh that neuropsychologist was wrong and I had brain damage. No recent scans ... no testing... just her opinion. If that was true then why would even prescribe me medication for that. But in less than 5 minutes you can say I have depression and anxiety??? Really? I'm living my best life now with my grandkids and even stopped taking meds for anxiety.... HMMMM so my take on her is run and keep running away from her and find a neurologist that actually cares and will LISTEN to you and not misdiagnose you and collect insurance money. PLEASE PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE WASTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON DR. Shadad.
