I have arthritis in my knee and it is inflamed. I called and made an appointment to see Dr. Parks…read more He gave me a steroid shot in the knee and told me to take it easy on my knee. A few weeks pass and no real relief. I had to go back to TOC. The pain was unbearable so I had to get fluid drained, twice. The local anesthetic was a minor poke. The harpoon used to drain fluid, that bad boy hurt. I can't imagine the pain without the local anesthetic. Two large tubes of fluid were removed, twice. I have gone 2 weeks in a row to get the fluid drained from my knee cap. Many thanks to Tom, Dr. Park's PA! I had an MRI. Dr. Parks told me I need a total knee replacement. I have the surgery scheduled late June. The schedule is full. The waiting room for people with knee problems is full all day. It doesn't matter if you have a morning or afternoon appointment. Thankfully Dr. Park's staff is efficient and they get patients in and out quickly. While I do not look forward to surgery, I know that surgery will allow me to get around better and improve quality of life. Many thanks to Dr. Park's and his staff. 5/5

Comments mentioned that the wait time was excessive, that Dr. Ocampo was rude, had a poor bedside manner, that they felt rushed during their appointment. I found this to be thoroughly inaccurate. The registration process was fast and efficient. Within 20 minutes, I had been processed, my insurance information had been collected, and I'd had an x-ray. Dr. Ocampo was very pleasant and attentive. I didn't feel rushed in the slightest. He seemed like he had no where else to be, but with me helping me with my issue.

Orthopedic surgery has come along way since I had my knees replaced. My shoulders are healing nicely and the scarring is minimal. When a person is put in a position of becoming partially metal you want someone who has the experience that Sportmed brings. Our amateur athletes as well as our professional teams rely on being able to play again without worry about their joints - so do we, the average persons dealing with aging joints and wear and tear and pain that living brings. Sportmed team of doctors give you the option of regaining lost mobility. This is a key to happy life. I am now able to garden and do yoga again.The time between my shoulder surgeries was 4 months. I still have time in Physical Therapy to hone my skills at using my new shoulders but already there is no morning pain, no dreading an activity that would have put me in pain . In this age of more and more dependency on fast turnaround in healing, if I had to do it again this is still the place I would go. It's the support that is offered all throughout your healing experience. But the important thing to remember about any type of healing is the patient's head space. I waited too long. If I had known the results would have been as life changing as shoulder replacement has been I would have had it done sooner, but I would still go with Sportmed.

Ultimately, after the pain continued and an MRI, we agreed on surgery. Doctor Cantrell often has other doctors shadowing him, so he clearly has a commitment to educating others. The surgery went smoothly, and while I was in recovery, Doctor Cantrell made sure to meet with my husband in the waiting room to tell him that everything had gone smoothly and ask if he had any questions. During my appointments, he always asked if I had any questions, which made me feel like my thoughts mattered, and not common with all doctors. I am less than 2 weeks out of surgery and, despite still having some pain, I am very pleased with the speed of my recovery, which I attest to Doctor Cantrell's surgical skills. I highly recommend him.

I've been a patient at Sportsmed for 25 years. I am there so often that I've asked for frequent…read moreflyer miles and my own parking spot (no to both). Without going into detail, I have a disorder that causes significant orthopedic issues. I've had 3 1/2 new knees, several other new joints and more procedures than I can count. When I register, I just tell them that I'm "keeping the lights on". I have received nothing but amazing care from all of the doctors that I've seen. They work with me to determine what my best option would be. And that's what I really like - options. Years ago, when discussing a knee replacement, Dr Janssen said "you'll know" when it was time for a replacement. He was absolutely right. I always echo his words to anyone considering a replacement. I know that I need neck surgery but Dr Johnson said "let's kick the can down the road" - when I start having symptoms, we'll talk. That's unusual for a surgeon, their job is to cut. Dr Chin knows my aversion to pain medication and still has been able to keep me going. Dr Clayton has experience in plastics - my knee that's had 2 1/2 replacements looks better than my other knee. I could go on and on about each of my docs but there just isn't enough space. Sportsmed has several locations in the area. I'm actually closer to the Whitesburg office but I am willing to drive to Athens or even Decatur to see one of my docs. I cannot say enough about the care I have and continue to receive. I would be remiss to not take this time to thank everyone at Sportsmed. You all have given me the ability to live the life that I want, and frankly, deserve. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This place treated me terribly! From scheduling up until my appointment. I left feeling rushed and…read moreunheard with no recommendations or anything. I had to ask the doctor (Dr. Javier Reto) would it clash with my current medication because he gave me no information. I am a self-pay paying person and for $250 this was a complete waste of time and actually increased my stress level dealing with a pinched nerve. It is so unfortunate that the African-American community is unheard in medical spaces when we say we are in pain. My x-ray was done wrong because the attendant never asked where my pain was. I was then scheduled for an MRI that now will cost $560 for a separate visit. Then I was also told to get the results of this MRI, I would have to schedule another $250 visit to get my results. I was shocked!!!I am left in pain and in agony and unheard. This is a doctors office that does not want to hear you or even want to see you. Huntsville hospitals please take sports med off of your list of recommendations!!!!! If we are just going to go to an office where they won't even listen to you or try to help. This felt like an urgent care appointment and lasted seven minutes. I will never ever return to this place and I am going to try to look for other places that are a bit more inviting and helpful so I can return back to work. Even when I asked when could I return to work, the young lady said she didn't know because of course the doctor gave no notes. I stood at the reception desk crying, getting most of answers from the receptionist. It was humiliating and embarrassing.

I chose Making Smiles because they are in-network with my dental insurance and also have great reviews. I now understand why they have received such great feedback from patients- I called to schedule an appointment and they were able to get me in within a couple of days. The lady that answered the phone was very friendly and professional. Upon arrival, I was greeted with smiling faces. The office was very clean and comfortable. The lady at the front desk was SO nice and checked me in with ease. I was brought to the back and examined by Dr. Simpson. We reviewed the reason for my visit and I was asked what my smile goals are. I let Dr. Simpson know that I wanted my teeth to be PERFECTLY straight. She suggested Invisalign and thoroughly discussed the benefits. Her and the staff took photos, scans, and x-rays of my teeth which didn't take long at all. I felt like a celebrity! The technology they have in-office is amazing and efficient. I was told in detail how the process would work and even got to see what my smile would look like once the treatments were completed! I had braces as a teenager but never wore my retainer which caused my teeth to shift. I wanted them back to how they used to be. Dr. Simpson reassured me that this goal is achievable. I felt highly confident on moving forward with Invisalign. Although it's important to invest in your health and well-being, I assumed the cost of this treatment would be a barrier for me. However, they were able to provide a custom payment plan that fit my budget perfectly. Making Smiles couldn't have made it any easier for me! What stood out to me the most was the lady at the front desk- Summer. She was so friendly and inviting from the moment I walked in. Summer answered all of my questions and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole process. She was full of knowledge and taught me so much. 10/10 highly recommend. I am looking forward to my next visit in a few weeks to begin my Invisalign treatment!

There's a lot of parking too. You check in at a kiosk, scan your driver's license and insurance cards and wait for the front desk to call you to complete your medical records hard copy print outs. I think it was five pages. In a few minutes, maybe 15, I was getting my shoulder x-rayed and placed in an exam room. Within probably 20 minutes the sweet Dr. who has treated my husband's broken elbow three years ago was discussing my shoulder pain with me. Good news. No MRI needed! He asked me about the meds I had gotten at the walk in clinic and I said "no offense to them but they are really crappy." He wrote me a script, and suggested doing some physical therapy and told me their office would contact me in a couple of days to schedule the PT. It was so nice to go downstairs and have a full service pharmacy on site where my script was filled within a few minutes. TOC called me within 2 days to say my PT (which is onsite also) was approved and to schedule it; however, at this point I was doing so much better that I declined the PT. The lady was kind and said "okay, if anything changes just give us a call!" All told including driving and getting my script filled it took 2 hours. The office was really busy, though. I saw Dr. Patrick Boyett who specializes in shoulders, arms and upper extremities. He has a great personality and bedside manner. Two other Boyetts work there, his sons I imagine and I think they are spine specialists. Dr. Boyett did a fantastic job both on initial exam and surgery and follow up with my husband which included inserting a pin in his forearm. He really gives you peace of mind and is not at all overbearing and acts like he has all the time in the world to listen to you. Thanks Dr. Boyett and thanks TOC for having this lovely facility "one stop shop" so close to home!
