I have been going to OrthoCarolina for several years. Dr. Satterfield and Jennifer Isaac have been wonderful. Jennifer has provided me with several knee injections which has helped relieve my pain. She is a wonderful doctor and I'm proud to call her a friend. Dr. Satterfield did a knee replacement which most definitely improved my quality of life. I would recommend these providers without hesitation. read more

I tore the meniscus in my right knee in November 2025. I knew exactly what it was, because I had torn my left meniscus several years earlier. I made an appointment to be seen by one of the PAs. She had them x-ray my knee, to make sure there was no bone issue going on. After a physical exam, she told me that I was correct, it was a torn meniscus. She wanted me to get an MRI done to get a good look at it. She did not provide me with anything to help with my knee in the meantime. When I tore my left meniscus, I had been given a brace to wear by the doctor I saw at their Clemmons location. That helped me to continue to be able to walk. Luckily, I still had that brace, so I just wore it for the same amount of time I had been advised to the previous time. The MRI confirmed the tear. The surgeon I saw when I came in for the results of the MRI gave me two options. One was surgery, where they would use a scope to go into my knee and clean out the loose tissue. He said I would be out of work for 12 weeks, possibly less, if I felt well enough to go back sooner. The second option was physical therapy. He said there was a chance it might not help, and it was a very conservative approach to my condition. I almost felt like he was hoping I would say surgery. I opted for physical therapy. Luckily, it worked, and I do not need surgery. read more

I have been going here since 2014 and I have had all good experiences. I've had several surgeries and they went well. Follow up appointments are great...I've never had any problems, and all the drs are very nice and good drs. read more

I'm going to try to be fair and completely honest here. Ultimately, they did not help my shoulder pain at all. I can't give a good review when I am still suffering a year or two after getting care there. They did not help me find the cause of my pain or get it better. We know I have a small rotator cuff tear, but that doesn't seem to match my symptoms. I had a CT scan. I was in too much pain to do physical therapy, I needed some sort of help to get to where physical therapy would be appropriate help. I was kind of treated like I was seeking pain medication, because NSAIDs do not help me, and the multiple shoulder injections did not hit where the pain is because it seems to be my whole shoulder. I was not looking for pain medicine, I needed a clear answer as to what's wrong and why it hurts, and I needed to know if it might be a rheumatological issue so I know how to fix it. They told me if I wanted pain medicine until it's figured out, they would send me to a pain clinic (they did give several small prescriptions of 20 or less hydrocodone which was just a bandaid not a fix) which I refused because that is not a fix, and I was not seeking medication, but pretty much needed relief until someone figures out and fixes my shoulder, I need to know why it hurts and what will FIX it back to normal, I can't use my right arm well, and I'm right handed. I don't know if this is clear but I needed pain relief AND a fix to stop the cause of the pain so that no more pain medicine is needed, and they did not do well for either. So my main problem with OrthoCarolina is that they did not figure out exactly what is going on with my shoulder and fix it, I would have done anything except surgery, because they said the CT scan didn't show a need for surgery. I don't understand why they couldn't fix it, or refer me to a different specialist if that's what I need- not a pain clinic, I have no interest in going that route, it seems excessive and unnecessary because just tell me what is causing my shoulder pain, or where I need to go. I have also tried stretches and natural supplements/nutrition. They were nice and all, but my shoulder is not better and it's disabling. Because they were not giving me any answers, I ended up just stopping, never went anywhere else for a second opinion yet, and have been living in pain accomodating it as best as I can. I feel this is not what healthcare should result in. I want a fix so that I am able to do physical therapy, and end up pain free or at least better. I want my overall health and well being to be considered, to get the best quality of life. I'm sure they help some people, but they did not provide me a solution that worked, my shoulder is still in a lot of pain. read more

I had a consultation with Dr. Yoder at the Winston Salem location for a PRP injection to my left knee. I scheduled my PRP injection for April 24th. The ONLY thing Dr. Yoder told me was to not take ibuprofen or any other anti inflammatory medications 2 weeks before my injection and to not take any 4 days after my injection. Insurance does not cover the injection which I'm fine with if it delays me getting a knee replacement. Dr. Yoder DID NOT GIVE ME ANY AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS. Just to not ice my knee and the information about anti inflammatory medications. It's extremely upsetting that I looked up after care almost 2 weeks after my injection bc I was in so much pain. Only to find out online that you should have STRICT instructions of what NOT to do until 12 weeks AFTER your injection! I had been doing several things on the list of WHAT NOT TO DO bc I wasn't advised. I'm praying I didn't mess up the injection since I wasn't told what NOT to do for 12 weeks. It's extremely upsetting that Dr. Yoder was dishonest in his notes after my appointment that he "gave me after care instructions". Which was a bold faced lie. It's also extremely upsetting I paid for an extremely expensive injection and since I wasn't advised of any after care. I may have ruined the injection since I was doing things I shouldn't have been doing. The aftercare I looked up stated if you did things before the 12 weeks the injection ultimately will fail. It's exhausting going to doctors and they rarely listen and treat you like a number AND aren't truthful in after summary visit notes. I like other doctors at OrthoCarolina but I definitely don't recommend Dr. Yoder read more

2025 June 11, 14:40; Winston Salem NC Update: this year has seen a decline in this particular facility. From missing disclosures about costs and including higher costs than disclosed. Dealing with the whole experience has seen a definite drop in care. In their rush to pad their bottom line they rush past your concerns. A good key to not being hit by with financial problems is to figure an additional 20% more than what they tell you. read more

I needed to have a checkup done on some work I had to have recently. When I arrived at the waiting room it was not very busy. I was called to the checkin desk and was taken care of immediately. The wait for the doctor was short and my entire visit was quick and easy. The entire staff and medical personnel treated me well. If I ever have a need for their services I would return here. read more

See all

Looking for an Orthopedic Doctor? Living in the Piedmont region provides an abundance of excellent options. When I needed a surgeon for a cervical fusion, I was overwhelmed by the number of reviews from various groups. It left me unsure of whom to trust. During a visit to a local doctor's office, I shared my dilemma with a nurse. She mentioned that she'd undergone an (ACDF) Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion several years prior, performed by OrthoCarolina in Winston-Salem. She spoke highly of the surgeon and praised the friendly staff. Another nurse, who had undergone the same procedure, chimed in--she, too, had chosen OrthoCarolina Winston-Salem and was extremely pleased with the care and outcome. Hearing their experiences reassured me; after all, who better to trust than those in the medical field who've had the same procedure? I ultimately chose OrthoCarolina at 170 Kimel Park Dr, Winston-Salem, NC, where Dr. Harlan B. Daubert, MD, performed my ACDF surgery. The team, including Georgia Tanner, PA-C, and Todd Carrigan, PA-C, was exceptional. Their combined expertise, comprehensive evaluations, and ability to explain medical terms and the recovery process in simple language immediately put me at ease. Whenever I had follow-up questions or concerns, the MyChart system provided prompt responses, enhancing my confidence in their care. OrthoCarolina offers additional services like same-day appointments, on-site MRIs, and multiple office locations for convenience. They even provide Orthopedic Urgent Care, available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome, and you don't have to be an established OrthoCarolina patient to receive care. While I'm not a nurse or part of the medical field, I wholeheartedly recommend OrthoCarolina for all orthopedic needs. Though I'm still healing, my pain, numbness, tingling, and other symptoms have significantly improved. I'm confident my recovery will only get better from here. read more

If you have an orthopedic problem it is the place to go. Doctors and nurses are friendly and listen to your problem.

For the past year plus my husband and I have been with care and excellence! The front office could not be more engaged and helpful! If you need Orthopedic Care look no further than here. Big shout out to the front office, Georgia Tanner, Pa-C, Dr. Daubert, Dr. Vikram Aurora (all treatment room staff) and Angie, scheduler/ front desk ( the day I was there was very proactive and I really appreciated how she took charge of the form by completing prior my name, birthday and circled my answers. This took seconds. (I had checked in online.)Not just sitting waiting for us to fumble around and maybe frustrated if we forgot our glasses. Then post procedure supported the instructions and release of patients to family! She is a rare jewel in this post Covid work place. Please recognize her. Everyone I have encountered in this past year has been above par! OrthoCarolina! read more

Very friendly people working in there. Took excellent care of my need. Office people very nice

Had Synvisc shots in both knees on 2/25/2021 in the OrthoCarolina Kimel Park Office. I was never advised the injections would be billed as more than an office visit. I had to have the shots themselves approved as a specialty pharmaceutical by my insurance and sent to the office. I had no reason to believe that the office visit for the injection would be more than my specialty copay. It is unethical to perform a procedure on a patient and not tell them that it will be billed as more than an office visit, especially when it is done in the office and performed by a PA. I would have like to know that the charges would be $1,200+ instead of my $70 copay. I would have postponed getting the shots since my finances have been impacted by Covid. This feels like bait and switch and just downright unethical!!!!!! read more

This place is ridiculous! They care more about $$, as they hound you relentlessly prior to your appt for your co-pay. They fail to tell you which of their many buildings to go to & won't allow support people back with patients. There are far better facilities to go to for care. read more

I am giving them 0 stars. Don't waste your time. If you have to deal with the business office run Bottom line is they will refuse treatment if you even have a small issue. I paid OrthoCarolina thousands of dollars. 7 surgeries etc and have payments set up They refused treatment because it was a different area. Even though I have great insurance. The Business manager should be fired. She purposely let me wait while doing nothing. I was sitting there for 2 hours in pain! I am sure the doctors would be appalled to know what non professionals they have in the business office. They took my money but refused to treat. Run read more

Excellent facility and staff. Dr Satterfield is an excellent Surgeon and performed a full knee replacement which has greatly improved my quality of life. I give my strongest commendation for this team. Lee Taylor read more

I did not even have to sit down in the waiting room and was taken back immediately. The staff were very friendly and pleasant. The radiology tech did a great job and was very friendly as well. The doctor was very to the point and very polite. The diagnosis with the possibility of 2 surgeries. I trust the doctor and feel that I could not have gotten better care. read more

Overall health care was fine. Service in the waiting room was very poor. Sign that says, if you have heard from anyone in 5 minutes (I think that was the length) ask. Well, 45 minutes and seeing several people come after us go in, we finally got in. I totally understand some people are coming for different things and different rooms. I just felt like it was poorly managed. read more

I broke my arm and got surgery done here. And Dr. Lauffenburger messes up my surgery so bad that I had to get another one done the next week. If I could rank it a 0 I would. read more

If I could I would give them 0 stars. This is the only doctor's office I have been to on several occasions that they never physically examine you for whatever complaint you have. They immediately want imaging studies done. Then you're lucky if they manage to even get it scheduled. I currently have had two orders for imaging and have not heard a word from scheduling or insurance after repeated calls. Their office staff is completely incompetent. No one accepts responsibility for anything and no one will call you back for anything. Do yourself a favor and don't go here. It is just one big headache. read more

Dr. Howe is absolutely excellent and understanding. Very competent surgeon! Very good listener! read more

Was there yesterday because i broke my hand at work. The doc i had was super rude an uncaring. He spent about two mins with me. An after the first place i went to told me i had to have a cast. He just put me in a splint an sent me on my way. Never even checked my hand. Took a x ray or even touched it. read more

I have been to this office for more than one injury unfortunately but I am rarely disappointed by their staff. The building is easy to find and I live that they have their own MRI machine so scheduling is fast and also in a familiar place. They have physical therapy upstairs with great hours to choose from and also walk in availability for their Urgent Care which stays open until 8:30pm! It can be a little hectic at the front desk, but they are very friendly and helpful! They also have an online patient portal to keep up with your chart including checking in. read more

Worst excuse for heathcare. When we called they said as long as we arrived before closing time, they would see us. We arrived before closing, and the staff tried to persuade us to go to another office, to "save us the wait." We waited at the office for 45 minutes, only to then be told that the Dr. was done seeing patients for the day. Great, so you not only deny care to my 9-year-old daughter, but you have also wasted half of our day. There is no way I would recommend that anyone ever seek treatment from this office. read more

My experience with Ortho Carolina hardly even deserves "one" star. Very frustrating when one has to take time off from work to go to a doctor's apt., and then you have to wait to see a doctor, he takes less than 5 mins. with you, says he will be right back to give you a shot for the pain in the hand, he spends 10 mins. dictating into a phone (my room was beside and door left open) and finally comes back to administer shot. This was my second visit to this office, where I told the person behind desk I did not have insurance, I was a self pay, and I need to pay full amount. Both times, no one responds, says a word, gives me a dollar amount.. I pay, thinking it is paid in full -- only to receive an additional bill 5 days later. My overall experience with this place from the receptionists, the nurse, the doctor, person who checks me out, and the company that handles their billing is less than acceptable. Absolutely horrible experience, even called and left message for office manager, and she never called back. read more
