Dr. Ben took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. Both Williams were amazing and incredibly helpful, and the entire staff was professional, organized, and attentive. What really stood out to me was the level of personal service. From the follow-up calls when I first scheduled my appointment, to being given Dr. Ben's personal cell phone number in case I had any concerns, to the personal phone call from William before the procedure, every detail was handled extremely well. The entire office is truly dialed in. You can tell a tremendous amount of time and effort has gone into building a team that works together so well and consistently provides such a high level of care and service. It has been impressive to see someone who is truly great at what they do. I would highly recommend Dr. Ben and his team.

The first rule of medicine is supposed to be "first, do no harm." Unfortunately, that principle…read moreseemed completely lost at this office. (Edit: I should specify this was with Dr. Shatby's office.) My primary care doctor referred me here after an X-ray came back negative for bone break/fracture. My PCP believed I likely needed an MRI and evaluation by an orthopedist. Before the appointment, I confirmed my referral had gone through, provided all my information, and was told they were only missing the X-ray results. They gave me a fax number, I contacted the imaging center, and had the results faxed over. Problem solved - or so I thought. I arrive for my appointment only to be told the doctor refuses to see me without the actual x-ray imaging files, despite already having the radiologist's report. Instead of explaining this requirement beforehand, the receptionist immediately tried to push me into getting another X-ray done right there. Her response? "Don't worry, it's only a $10 copay." That completely missed the point. I didn't 't care about the copay. I care about exposure to unnecessary ionizing radiation and unnecessary repeat imaging when my PCP already believed the next step was an MRI. Why was I being asked to repeat an X-ray I literally just had done less than a week before? Hmm... I declined the repeat X-ray, drove all the way back to the imaging center, obtained the DVD myself, and brought it back to their office the same day. I had to actually get a physical DVD because this office also does not have any method in place for receiving digital records such as x-rays. OK, so let me get this straight: their office REQUIRES the original images, but yet they have NO WAY to receive such images except for an antiquated DVD, and if someone does not have said DVD, then they require them to get NEW images, coincidentally done at THEIR facility, or else the Dr. won't see the patient? Does that seem appropriate to you? Finally, after all that effort, I was then told the doctor had already left for the day. So they wanted to reschedule me for the following week. To make matters worse, they charged me the co-pay for the appointment, which I am disputing. They are also trying to bill my insurance for the appointment even though I was never actually seen (disputing that also). The entire experience felt less focused on patient care and far more focused on funneling patients into in-house imaging. Maybe there's a perfectly innocent explanation (I doubt it), but when a patient is pressured to repeat x-ray imaging they already completed, despite a specialist referral specifically for an MRI evaluation, it raises serious concerns, to say the least. Patients are not just billing opportunities. Repeated radiation exposure may be "small" each time, but it is cumulative, and unnecessary exposure is still unnecessary exposure. The complete lack of coordination, communication, and respect for the patient's time and SAFETY was unacceptable. Stay far away. I will not be returning.

" I just got out of surgery and rehab hospital for last shoulder replacement.He didnt even look at my records or history which had already been sent to him. He wouldnt let me explain all my surgeries. He didnt listen to me at all. He proceeded to bad mouth my other Drs and My insurance a medicare advantage Cigna/Heathspring. Which he says will not pay for treatment or the therapy he insisted will help me.He said I need a medicare with a supplement which I know is another 300$ per month for both me and my husband . we live on social security . we cant afford a 600$ + part D plan coming out of that. He is listed as a Cigna /Healthspring Dr. Why I dont know ?cause they have been paying for everything on EOB i get every month. .He said "Im not the Dr for you"Because I have too many things wrong .But he said I can do more Ablations on your husband and do surgery and therapy, I guess he does not like" White" women. but likes the White men?

Saw Dr. Paul Chin, originally diagnosed as labral tear, did PT and Chiropractic, no improvement. MRI revealed spinal isues, referred to Dr. Edmund Choi. More PT and Chiro and recommended Hemilamenectomy. No improvement, elected for surgery March 2024. Dr. Choi supposedly performed the Hemilamenectomy and pain level reduced for a couple of weeks, then came back worse than ever. Continued PT, Chiro and Aquatic Therapy with no reduction in pain. Even tried another injection. Nothing was improving. I ended up getting another MRI and a 2nd medical consult from a Nuerosurgeon who reviewed multiple MRIs (pre and post op) and questioned me as to what surgery Dr. Choi had performed. My new Nuerosurgeon at Memorial Hermann-Woodlands said there was no evidence of any previous surgery in my spine and we were both shocked. Needless to say, I hired the Neurosurgeon to repair my spine which he skillfully completed in August 2024. I'm now 100% pain free and walking well (no thanks to Sterling Ridge Orthopaedics and espcially Dr. Choi). A couple of positive comments re: SRO - Office staff are excellent. Dr. Beukelman is a great chiropractor. All the PT crew were excellent, especially Aquatics with Kristin!
