Dr. Ackerman was nice, knowledgable, and efficient. A resident/fellow sees you first, and then reviews notes with the doctor who subsequently sees you briefly to discuss the treatment plan. One star off because they seem to always be running a little behind schedule, but overall a good experience and good medical care. Casting is quick and painless, and the technicians are friendly and make you feel comfortable. They validate parking - $2 cash only. If you're a Brown student/staff/faculty, take the university shuttle to RIH and just avoid parking altogether. The garage spaces are limited, and it can be a headache. In the waiting room, there's a picture signed by Stephen Gostkowski to keep you entertained.

Be careful--you may waste your time and possibly experience discrimination. Horrible customer…read moreservice, poor training, and unreliable information. I drove 30 minutes through bridge traffic for my daughter's scheduled appointment, only to be greeted by an unfriendly front-desk employee whose demeanor immediately made me feel like she was bothered by my presence. She told me my daughter's referral couldn't be used and cancelled her appointment without even verifying the information. I called Highbar and was initially told her referral was still valid. The representative put me on hold for over 10 minutes while trying to contact the Providence office. She came back saying she couldn't reach anyone, but then changed what she originally told me and said I needed to contact my insurance about getting a new referral. I called my insurance, and they confirmed the referral was valid, just as Highbar had originally told me when the appointment was made. I tried calling Highbar back three times with no answer. When I finally called Providence directly, suddenly the same employee who had turned us away said she could reschedule my daughter using the exact same referral. Beyond the misinformation, her demeanor toward me was dismissive and condescending, and the interaction genuinely left me feeling discriminated against. I told her this directly on the phone, and she apologized multiple times. What makes this more concerning is reading other reviews. Another patient reported being given incorrect insurance information by this location, and another reviewer described an experience they also perceived as discriminatory. I considered contacting corporate or management, but seeing similar complaints from years ago that resemble what I experienced today does not give me much confidence that these concerns are being addressed. Patients shouldn't lose appointments because staff provide incorrect information, nor should anyone leave a healthcare facility feeling discriminated against. Highbar needs to address the training and treatment of patients at this location

There are two locations in Providence. My experience was with the 285 Governor St location. There is a huge parking lot and is easy to navigate to when there is no construction. A few times, there was construction and Governor street was blocked so I had to go around it. It was easy to make an appointment. I first came for a consult and then made a plan with Shemaiah on how I can improve. The appointments were scheduled for a few months at a time. After the sessions, I definitely felt my progress improving. Shemaiah is personable and really friendly. She wants to see you improve and will work with you to obtain your goals. Their billing is done by a third party and after calling Elite Physical Therapy and their billing office multiple times, I finally got my patient refund after 4 months of waiting. I am not sure why it took them so long to process the refund and when I asked, they had no answer. Other than the patient refund issue, the space is clean and spacious. After a few months of therapy, my ankle was a lot better and I was able to walk normally.

Unfortunately, the building layout and access combined with the scheduling experience was a hot mess. A family member had a bone density and office visit here today. However, upon checking in, we found out they had the wrong location for the appointment and test. Both of us took time out of work to come here today and to be turned away. To make matters worse, the garage accessibility is horrendous. You enter into the lot, take the elevator to the ER, walk across the ER to a bridge, enter another building, and take another elevator. Very confusing. To add insult to injury, they now charge for parking. We will no longer be visiting this location.

Would you believe that both of my kids broke bones at different times early this school year and…read moreneeded to be in casts. We've spent our fair share of time on floor two of the 2 Dudley Street building so this review is to provide information about our experience on floor two only - as we have not had to visit any of the other floors for our particular needs. Floor two is VERY busy at every moment of the day and it can be an overwhelming first visit. Here's what you can expect. When you step off the elevators, you will need to line up to the right behind the "wait here to be called" sign in the lobby. From here, one of the receptionists will call you over, check you in for your appointment, take payment, and direct you to which waiting area you should go to (they have three - A, B, and C) DON'T WALK AWAY FROM THIS DESK WITHOUT GETTING YOUR PARKING GARAGE VOUCHER for the Dudley Street garage - it costs $2 for a flat rate "chaser ticket" (which is a huge savings) and is payable in exact cash only. After checking in with the receptionist at the desk in your assigned waiting room, they will send you to a tech who will remove your cast before sending you to the X-ray desk. You will need to check in here too and hand them the paperwork provided by the person who removed your cast. Both the X-ray techs and the cast techs are friendly and explain exactly what they will be doing before they do any work. They introduce themselves and explain to the kids what noises they may hear and even demonstrated that the saw used to cut the cast will not cut your skin (how does it know the difference? so neat!) You will then be asked to return to the waiting area you were in previously and will wait to see the doctor. Usually this takes just a couple of minutes while they wait for the X-rays to become available. The visits are straightforward and depending on your progress you may or may not have to have the area recast. Casting options are limitless and they have a variety of materials, colors, and enhancements (like glitter) they can add to personalize it for you. If you'd like a waterproof option, tell them ahead of time so they can prepare that for you (the only color option for that is plain white). You will pay out of pocket for the "upgrade" as many insurance plans won't cover the additional expense but it may be worth your while depending on the time of year and length you'll need to wear your cast. You may also choose to buy a sling or other cast aid directly from online or local pharmacy, as many times insurance plans will bill OUTRAGEOUS prices if they have already provided one at a previous visit and you find yourself in need of a replacement.
