The person who is taking you there and taking you home cannot leave the premises. So you are there for 4-5 hours or longer just waiting. They even make you sign saying you won't leave the premises. It's a big inconvenience and totally unnecessary. When asking why they require this they have no answer. You get 2 calls. One from the doctor after the surgery and another one to pick up the patient.

RE: Olivia Perry, PA. I was extremely disappointed with my visit with Olivia Perry, PA. In my…read moreexperience, there was essentially no meaningful physical assessment of my hip pain. Her response was basically, "You have hip pain? I'll order an MRI." She asked where my pain was, and when I pointed to the area, she tapped it with her index finger. That was the extent of the physical examination--and even that occurred only after I specifically asked whether she was going to examine me. As a retired Nurse Practitioner, I found this particularly concerning. I actually had to explain to her how to perform an appropriate assessment of hip pain and asked whether she was going to perform certain examination maneuvers used to help identify the source of hip pain. Her response was, "They didn't teach me that in school." I was stunned. A patient should not have to prompt a medical provider to perform a physical examination, and certainly should not have to teach the provider how to assess the condition for which the patient is being seen. Ordering an MRI is not a substitute for a competent history and physical examination. She also never called me with the MRI report. Luckily, I had the report and images and knew what to do. Based on my experience, I had no confidence whatsoever in the quality of the clinical assessment I received and would not recommend this provider.

: Incredible Administrative Care, but Completely Let Down by the Providers:I have very mixed…read moreemotions about my visit here. On one hand, I want to give a massive shoutout to Kristen White. She was incredibly professional, genuinely listened to my requests, and took excellent care of me. In a moment when I was in extreme pain and feeling completely overwhelmed, Kristen made me feel like an actual human being. Her empathy and customer service were a solid 5/5 stars.Unfortunately, the medical care from the actual providers was deeply disappointing. I came in with an acute sports injury after hearing a physical "pop" in my foot, experiencing swelling on the top of my foot, and dealing with severe nerve pain. They took X-rays but didn't bother to sit down, look at them with me, or properly explain a clear diagnosis. Instead, they completely dismissed a severe structural injury as basic plantar fasciitis, handed me some topical gel, and sent me on my way.To make matters worse, they told me it was "normal to work under these conditions"--completely ignoring the fact that my daily job requires heavy pulling, pushing, and lifting of heavy objects. Because they refused to give me an immobilization boot or take the soft-tissue damage seriously, I have spent days favoring my left leg. I have now developed agonizing sciatica from straining my back just trying to hobble around.Kristen White deserves a promotion for her outstanding humanity and professionalism, but the medical providers seriously need to re-evaluate how they dismiss patients with acute traumatic injuries.

Hip Still Not Right - Need a Hip Replacement Revision…read more I had an anterior hip replacement with Dr. Andrew Porter. I am 56 years old and average weight. I had arthritis in my hip joints, thanks to genetics, and needed my hip replaced. Surgery with Dr. Porter went as planned, so I thought... Shortly after surgery, I noticed something was off. I had had my other hip replaced 7 years ago, so I was familiar with the recovery process. Unfortunately, my hip was painfully popping out of the socket and back in. I kept going to Dr. Porter telling him something wasn't right. Dr. Porter said I needed to continue with physical therapy, which I did. It is still no better after 5 months of therapy, and my range of motion is very limited. Dr. Porter told me a revision would also limit my range of motion and be more invasive than the first surgery. He basically tried to talk me out of fixing my hip. I can't live like this. I can't even walk properly. Needless to say. I never went back. Do not let the pain rush you into surgery. I should have waited for a more experienced surgeon.

I fell from a horse about 5 years ago on my shoulder and messed it up while rowing on the crew team in high school. I had MRIs done at Yale New Haven Hospital (I'm originally from CT) stating that I had a few things wrong with it (the specifics I'm not entirely sure of). I decided to give this place a chance because they were local and the doctors listed on their website have a lot of experience. First of all, this place has barely any lights inside. It's like walking into a cave! The ladies at the front desk were very polite, however. Then I was taken in to see Dr. Green - easily the most unprofessional doctor I've met in my life. He came into the room without saying a word or introducing himself and shoved his hand in my face looking for a handshake. Then he asked me what was wrong and had me do a series of tests for range of motion and strength. I told him most of them hurt. I gave him the DVD of the MRIs I had and he spent 5 minutes looking at them silently. He said he didn't see anything wrong with my shoulder and asked if I had done physical therapy before, to which I replied yes - and that it had done nothing but make my shoulder hurt more. He told me to go to physical therapy for a month and then come back, wrote something on a piece of paper to give to the girls at the front desk and walked out without saying anything. I decided to go to another doctor for a second opinion. Dr. Green and his practice aren't getting another DIME of my insurance money. Long story short - if you like going to rude doctors who work out of dingy offices, this is the place for you.

I had called looking for a diagnosis before they called me. I was told to stay off the leg, but at the same time told to come back and walk into the building to get crutches. I was then handed the crutches by some tech with zero explanation on how to use them. I asked for the PA or doc and the tech did his best to contact them, but he came back down and said nobody was available. Ortho RI ordered PT for me but then sent the PT org older visit notes which did not include the diagnosis of the fracture. PT person showed up at my home and was surprised when I told them. Luckily, I had downloaded the MRI report so she knew what is going on. The PT tech seems to be more of an advocate for me and supplied more info to me than Ortho RI. Ortho RI has a message system on their website but when I asked how to use it, they told me that it is not operational. I'm seriously considering changing my ortho doc. I still haven't seen the doc anyway, because all you get to see is the PA.

Absolutely Frustrating…read more I am beyond disappointed with my experience with Ortho RI. First, we waited six months for an MRI--and yes, I understand insurance played a major role in that delay. But once we finally got everything moving and were ready to get the care that was needed, I expected the doctor's office to actually handle the medical coordination that comes with being a doctor's office. Instead, I received a message telling me to contact our PCP and get the referral myself. At what point did patients become responsible for doing the administrative work that medical offices are supposed to coordinate? We already waited six months. We finally got things in order, and rather than helping move the process forward, the responsibility was simply pushed back onto us. The medical field has gotten completely out of control. Patients are already navigating insurance companies, referrals, appointments, paperwork, delays, and months of waiting while trying to get answers and treatment. The LAST thing we should have to do is chase down every piece of the process ourselves because an office doesn't want to handle it. I don't expect special treatment. I expect competence, communication, and basic patient care. Six months of waiting only to be told, essentially, "You go figure out the referral" is beyond frustrating. Patients deserve better than being treated like an inconvenience when we're simply trying to get the care we were referred for in the first place.

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.

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.
