So this all started 2 years ago when dr stuart gardner replaced my right knee..day after surgery…read morethe knee was literally clunking..was worse than my knee with no meniscus..he said it still needed to heal..6months later my left hip popped out mowing the grass..found out I have hip impingement in both hips..deformity yay...anyway gardner replaced hip ..when I was allowed to step on it my first time putting weight on it(I'm 6ft 2 230 ..big guy..the implant dropped 3 cm into my femur and I fell..went to see dr stuart and he said sorry we are closing down today..no joke...southwest ortho in blacksburg..so I went to bruce byrd at orthovirginia in blacksburg...he replaced a piece in hip.not whole thing...then not long after I was standing up using my right knee as support and the messed up implant in knee tweaked to far and I lost balance barely above the couch..I shifted weight to left leg instinctively and top of my femur shattered..that healed quickly but the cup of the old hip insert finally was damaged enough and my left hip dislocated 3 times in next 2 weeks..long story short we found infection in my joint...probably was reason nothing worked correctly..bruce byrd removed it completely in May of last year...months of antibiotics later I go to see him to schedule hip and he doesn't want to do surgery..wanted another Dr to come down.i asked if he could do it and he said yes..so I said he is gonna put it back in..I did an aspiration and they found no fluid so I asked to schedule hip and he said no now he wanted to do an mri..I said nope..I'm hiv positive and any extra hospital visits could give me a worse infection.my infectious disease dr chaudry said I was good to go infection wise months ago and wondered why my hip was still out..at that point bruce byrd stopped calling me back and I was forced to fire him..made appointment with dr stewert at the carilion and got another aspiration xray and needed an mri..I can't lay in them..15 joint surgeries..so I asked him for 1 pill to get through it and he says ask robin akers my pcp..made sense and I did.she says no it's on him not her..again..1 pill of there choice and I had a driver..nope..I called stewert back and talked to Natasha his nurse and accidentally said 2 cuss words with no intent or context..I apologize immediately and she says no problem sweety...so I end up going to mri after a beer and one of my dogs painpills.barely got through it..2 days later I go to see stewert and when my girl and I get there there's a cop up front..I say my name to lady and he immediately looks at his notebook..weird...we get put in office and stewert and nurse come in..he looks at me all goofy and says your good to go for hip but we won't do it because of cussing phone calls and my old surgeon byrd called and sayed I threatened him over phone..it was a message I left saying if u see me in public go the other way because I don't ever want to see him again..not a threat at all.ive got 1 leg.lol.dang....anyway instead of freaking out like they thought I would I said have a nice day and we left crying..my report says that I said I drank before last visit..sorry it was 2 days earlier and yup I did..says I denied taking narcotics...wtf..I asked him for 1...and threatening and cursing phone calls..they would of had me arrested if any of it was true..so made up..and because I have medicaid I can't sue and get my hip and life back..

This man is an amazing surgeon, very skilled at what he does! He's personable and his staff is…read moreawesome as well. I have NEVER left an appointment feeling unsatisfied or uninformed.

I had glasses made up using the facilities at the 707 location 2 years ago. When i received the…read moreglasses they were unusable for anything but long distances and even though ground with a bifocal i could not read with them. They told me i had to take them anyway and i would adapt to them. They never became usable and my eyes were under a constant strain. Vistar is supposed to be a reliable company so yesterday i went back for a new examination in an attempt to get a usable pair, Everyone was very professional, friendly and pleasant the entire 2 hours i was there. There were no long waits and everyone seemed to know what they were doing but the longer i was there the more aware i became they were following a script just as they are supposed to. They were screening me, collecting the information the doctor would need but unable to answer any questions that i had, I let it ride because i understand they were just lab technicians but when i posed the same questions and concerns to the doctor it became obvious there was nobody in the building qualified to address any medical issues with my eyes and the unusable glasses could only be replaced at my own expense, The doctor was gracious enough to say that she would make my records available if i chose to seek a more competent company to deal with. If all you need is a new set of glasses they are about as good as anyone but if you have a medical issue you might want to look somewhere other than the 707 facilities.

This review is for the Danville office…read more They had me playing waiting room bingo for over 2 hours past my appointment (for a 30 second injection). They kept calling people back who got there after I did, and when I questioned this, the employee got in my face and another rolled his eyes at me. I got fed up, told them where to stick my chart, and left. I doubt I''ll go back, as this is just another terrible example of the state of healthcare in the US. I had an active kidney stone, and my pain level was around a 6 out of ten, but they don't care. They just overbook appointments, and let the patients suffer in a dark waiting room being tortured by HGTV. If I have a 1 pm appointment, I expect to be seen at 1 pm, not nearly 4 pm. I will not play this game
