I reached out to this orthopedic doctor for a very simple request: I already had a VA diagnosis of…read moretendinosis in my right ankle, and all I needed was for the doctor to review an Independent Medical Opinion letter and state whether he agreed with it based on his medical expertise. This is a common, straightforward step for veterans working through the VA disability process. Unfortunately, my experience with the office was extremely disappointing. The front desk staff spoke to me in a rude and dismissive tone from the beginning. I explained multiple times that I did not need another diagnosis--I already had one from the VA--and only needed a medical agreement or disagreement with the IMO. The secretary insisted the doctor "wouldn't do anything unless he could bill the VA and give his own diagnosis," completely ignoring what I actually needed and showing no willingness to help. Veterans already face enough hurdles in the disability process. Finding a doctor who is willing to provide a simple professional opinion shouldn't be this difficult. The lack of courtesy and the refusal to assist unless they could bill for additional services was unprofessional and disheartening. I would not recommend this office to any veteran needing support with VA-related documentation or respectful, patient-centered care.

Remember a few months ago when I bitched about the terror that is Jason Cochran, orthopedic surgeon…read morefrom hell? Well I got a new referral to Kenton Waterbrook and he was excellent. Took lots of time with me to listen and understand my problems, did X-rays, reviewed all my medical documentation, determined that the cause of my pain is the IM rod in my tibia, was able to give me a detailed and logical explanation for why he could not do surgery to remove the rod, and gave me suggestions for how to manage the pain given that surgery was not an option. Night and day experience. If you need an OS in Lansing, I highly recommend Dr. Waterbrook.

I had sporadic low back pain for the past 25 years. When the pain flared up, it limited my…read moremobility. ORS helped me understand what my injury was (an inflamed joint and muscle) and how to strengthen the muscles around the problem area. Now the surrounding muscles are strong enough to support the inflamed area. I can now do activities that would give me a week's worth of pain and disablement without the resulting pain. ORS tailored an exercise routine for me to do at home. They supplied me with resistance bands. These allow me to do exercises anywhere...even when I'm traveling. The staff at ORS was friendly, encouraging, and helpful. I felt spoiled.

I saw Dr Zand six years ago for a recurring knee dislocation. After many other doctors were far…read moretoo conservative with my care, Dr Zand was ready to go! He immediately decided to perform a tibial tubercle transfer and a lateral release. Recovery was TOUGH. Hip to ankle cast for eight weeks, then countless hours regaining strength and flexibility. But without a doubt, the smartest thing I've ever done. The knee has been stable ever since. Not a single pop. Now, six years later, I am having some unrelated knee pain and decided to have it checked out. You can imagine my joy when the world renowned doctors at Kerlan Jobe in Los Angeles continuously complimented the beauty of my surgery after viewing my X-rays and MRI. Could not be more pleased with the work of Dr Zand.

Dr. Drayer did a partial knee replacement on my right knee. He explained very professionally what…read moreneeded to be done. I don't know what happened in the last review but I did not get that type of treatment. I have gotten very good care. He has been genuine about my care and my husbands care. Dr. Drayer is one of the few doctors qualified to do knee surgery robotical also. How many doctors in the area can do that? Going through knee surgery is hard enough as it is. Not for wimps that's for sure. I never have felt disrespected from Dr. Drayer in any way. He tells it like it is. Take his advice or leave it and deal with the pain. I choose to take his advice.

I would not recommend this business. Drayer is one of the rudest, most unprofessional doctors we…read morehave ever dealt with. He literally looks down his nose at you when he speaks as if you are some annoyance he has to deal with in order to get your money. He yelled at my wife when she asked reasonable questions about the procedure even going so far as to stand up over her and pointing down in an intimidating manner for bothering to question him. The hospital staff was appalled and two attendants present later came into my wife's room to apologize and stress that they are in no way affiliated with Drayer (they wanted to make that very, very clear). We have talked to others in the area who have had similar experiences. There are lots of competent orthopedic surgeons in the area. Do not waste your time with this guy. I would like to say the unprofessionalism is confined to Drayer but when I contacted the office with a billing question, the billing manager Amy promised a call back and we have yet to hear from her (over 30 days now). Do not even consider this business.

She was screaming bloody murder because he was cutting all the way through the cast and into her skin with the saw. She was cut by the blade 10 times.

He truly listens to understand what's going on, he's just what you need. Some days that's a drill sergeant to give you a kick in the behind, some days it's a cheerleader, some a coach, some a friend/supporter. He truly cares about patients and is so accepting of all the diverse people he sees. You can see his connection in the clinic, not only with yourself, but with others. I'm on the road to improvement - I'm not 100% yet, but for the first time in 7 years, I see a light at the end of the tunnel. I appreciate the different approaches (Exercise, Stretching, Cupping, Electric stim, Heat, Massage, Trigger point release, blading) to get the results I need. The clinic is clean, easily accessible, appointment scheduling is easy - overall, I couldn't be happier.

What doctor basically calls their patient a hypochondriac? yet everyone I've talked to that has had this procedure says yes the numbness goes away but you get other issues.... He made me feel small and to tell me I need counseling like this pain is all in my head is VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! I will be seeking a second orthopedic to take a look at my arm.
