Efficiency and great bedside manner can coexist? Apparently, they can at Dr. McKeon's office. My…read moreleft wrist has been hurting on and off for six months. Since I was pregnant, my treatment options were limited. Before Thanksgiving, I called to make an appointment to see Dr. McKeon. She helped my husband with some wrist pain he had so I knew she could help me. They couldn't see me for almost two months but I knew it would be worth the wait. Parking and navigating the building was a bit confusing but I eventually found where her office was located. The check in process was quick and easy. My appointment was at 9:00 and I was called back around 8:55 AM. Dr. McKeon was in the room by 9:05 AM. She diagnosed me and gave me an injection to help. She gave me some literature on my diagnosis and told me what to expect and what to do if the pain resumes. For the first time in six months, I feel like my wrist is going to get better. I hope I don't have to come back but if I need their services, I wouldn't hesitate to do so.

When I told them I had Medicare Advantage, they told me I could not make an appointment, since I had not been a patient in the last 3 years. I asked to pay for my visit, but they refused to let me pay for the visit. I inquired why, and they sent me to Billing Dept. who told me they cannot accept cash from a Medicare advantage customer. The only bright spot was they referred me to an ortho group who would. So,if you are a senior on retirement, look for another doctor.

Dr. Mallempati: 5 stars His staff: 1 star…read more We made an appointment to see Dr. Mallempati in the Pell City location, which by the way, is not easy to find. He's only at this location one day a week, I think, and they use another doctor's office/optometrist (?) facility. There's really nothing that tells you he's there and when you're standing in line to sign in, there's a sign for a dermatology office and another for St. Clair Eye. We had to ask, "Are we in the right place?" So they took us back to a room within a few minutes - less than 30 minutes in the waiting area - and then... more waiting. We ended up waiting almost 2 hours and then finally someone came in and they admitted they totally forgot we were there. Ok, fine. They owned up to it and apologized, it's ok - we can move on from that. Dr. Mallempati was great, very thorough, and great bedside manner. He schedules an MRI and wanted us to come back after for a follow up. MRI was done and we return one week later. This time we saw him in his main location and thankfully, wait time was much better. His nurse practitioner saw us first and she was very thorough, but she interrupted us when we tried to tell her something and we had to make her listen. We saw Dr. Mallempati again, and he was great. He wanted us to schedule a nerve block which would be performed at Surgical Institute of Alabama. We immediately scheduled the nerve block for Dec 23rd, 2025 to be done at Surgical Institute, BUT they (Surgical Institute) would call us the day prior to confirm the time. No food or drink the day of the nerve block (prior to). Also, a 3 week follow up post-nerve block would be scheduled with Mallempati. December 22nd comes and by 3:30 p.m., we still had not received confirmation. We call Surgical Institute and the lady who answered the phone said, "What's your name? Oh yes, we have you down for tomorrow and they WILL be confirming this, but we're just really backed up. But you will hear something." We go to bed at 9 pm, still no word. December 23rd comes and we've taken vacation from work and are sitting here, waiting to hear. At 7:30 a.m., I call Surgical Institute and the lady who answered said rather rudely that that she had no idea what we were talking about, no appointment was scheduled for us. We repeated the story about how someone at her office said we WERE on schedule, and she kept repeating, "You need to call Mallempati's office - no one from there has ever sent us anything to do with your information." I called Tracy, Dr. Mallempati's nurse, and left a voice mail to PLEASE call us ASAP. By 9:30 a.m., we gave up hope and decided to eat/drink since obviously the nerve block wasn't happening. It's April 19th, 2026 and Tracy nor anyone else at OrthoAlabama Spine has yet to call us back. We've been completely ghosted by this facility, as if we were never there. We've told everyone we know to avoid this place - which is sad, because Dr. Mallempati is great.

I have already written a glowing review of the Andrews Sports Medicine location at St Vincents…read morehospital. It talks about the extremely efficient and friendly operation that they have mastered. That could not be done without fantastic doctors like Dr McKeon. After whizzing through the check-in process, being called back, and vetted by Dr. McKeon's assistant, she came in almost immediately after with a quick exam and even quicker diagnosis. What I thought was surely to be carpal tunnel syndrome, turned out to be its elbow dwelling cousin cubital tunnel syndrome. Fortunately she is a doctor that would much rather prevent surgery and figure out a solution. She gave me some instructions on what to do and what not to do. I was told to come back to see her a month later. On my second visit, I experienced the same expedited process and had been experiencing much less tingling. She said that was a step in the right direction. She was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. She even took the time to talk about twin parenthood (something we had in common). I highly recommend Dr. McKeon for any hand or wrist issues you may have.

She needs to remember that her job exists because of them.
