    I am highly satisfied about my experience with Dr. Shadduck and EmergeOrtho!…read more Six weeks ago Dr. Shadduck operated on me to repair a small hernia on the right side of my lower abdomen, called an inguinal hernia. About 15 years ago I had a similar hernia repair on the left lower abdomen (which was done at UNC) and therefore I have some comparative experience. Before choosing Dr. Shadduck I also saw another surgeon (at one of the big medical facilities) for an opinion. Below I'll go through the numerous things that I liked about Dr. Shadduck and EmergOrtho: 1) Getting an appointment for an initial assessment was straightforward and easy. I really liked not having to navigate a big institutional medical organization (i.e. - UNC & Duke) when calling on the phone. 2) Going to this initial appointment with Dr. Shadduck was again much easier at the EmergeOrtho location than the huge parking decks at UNC/Duke. When I arrived on time, the receptionists were great . . very friendly and efficient. The waiting area was not crowded and I only had a short wait before getting into the exam room. 3) Compared to the first surgeon I had seen for an assessment I found Dr. Shadduck was MUCH more through in his exam. The first surgeon I saw appeared to only take a superficial look at the hernia and they also had a student doctor in the room watching. By contrast, Dr. Shadduck took a good deal of time to assess the hernia both with me standing and also lying down (not done by the first surgeon). I feel like he really did a very complete assessment of my condition. 4) He said that my hernia was small and it was not necessary that it be repaired at this time, however after learning that I spend about half of each year on a boat in remote regions of the Bahamas, he thought that this tipped the scales in favor of having the procedure . . . but he was not insistent or pushy with his opinion. 5) Something that I found quite remarkable when getting assessed by Dr. Shadduck was how exceedingly patient he was in explaining everything about the possible surgery and then gave me all the time I needed to ask questions. I find it rather rare when a physician is such a good listener. 6) Scheduling for the surgery was easy and it was performed at a 'hospital' right across the street from EmergeOrtho called "North Carolina Specialty Hospital". 7) The process of having the surgery went smoothly and I felt like all the staff (nurses, anesthesiologist, etc.) were excellent and everything went according to plan. 8) My recovery process seemed easier than the same surgery I had ~ 16 years prior. I was offered a prescription for opioid type pain relievers but ended up not needing them (Advil worked fine). 9) Two weeks post surgery I came back to see Dr Shadduck for a follow-up and everything was healing up as expected. Again, he was great in talking with me and answering all my questions. My only small complaint is that I had a fairly long wait to be seen (20 minutes waiting room & 35 exam room) but this is small potatoes relative to my overall experience. In summary, if you think you may need the kind of surgery that Dr. Shadduck offers I can HIGHLY recommend choosing him as your surgeon!
