It's rare to find a business that I can't find *something* to pick at.... but TB&J is one of those. I've been seeing them for a couple years, monitoring a deteriorating right knee. I started with Dr. Caleb Nunley (Owasso), who is such a great doc. He listened, we talked, and worked out a plan to monitor things. Later on, I met with Dr. Susan Peterson, who did the actually surgery. Dr. Peterson is one of the best doctors I've ever met. She was open and honest about what I would go through, perfectly managing my expectations (which is not an easy thing to do). I could go on and on, but it would just be polish on the diamond. TB&J as a facility is outstanding. From the Union Pines surgery center to the main offices and Physical Rehab facility on the main campus, everyone I interacted with were extremely professional and relateable. Everyone was friendly, helpful and ready to help at every turn. Same goes for the folks at the Owasso office where I'm doing rehab PT. Brac'ee and Kayla have been so great to work with. They push you, sure, but they respect that you're in pain and do have limits. Overall I could not be happier with the entire team at TB&J, and would not hesitate to use them again. read more

My only experience with this business is I received a call informing me. There was a referral from my doctor. I say I received a call because I never got the call. I just found out. I had a voicemail from them on a Friday. Monday morning when they supposedly were supposed to be open at 8 AM I tried to return the call. I didn't get an answer until at least 8:10a. When I did, they immediately put me back on hold. If you can't get a hold of a person at a business on the telephone it doesn't speak well about the business. I assume those doctors have enough money already so they don't care about customer service or phone calls or trying to make an appointment to see one of their doctors. Negative stars I wouldn't be treated there if I had a compound fracture. read more

Dr. Childe did a good job repairing my Carpal tunnel, yet when I was having severe wrist pain and swelling after my surgery, no questions were asked, especially when I mentioned I had fallen on the wrist. When I scheduled a visit months later, still with pain, Dr. Childe dismissed my concerns. I switched doctors, he did ordered a MRI and found a torn Scapholunate Ligament. read more

Conveyor belt medicine Had problems early on but do kept telling me I was fine. After going from cane, backward to walker then ultimately wheelchair he'd rides to take me seriously as wound looking gross at 6 months. Horribly infected. read more

Tried to make an appointment. When asked for my SS I declined and giving it. The lady just said have a nice day and hung up. Before that the conversation was normal. I'm left wondering is this her or is this her after being coached on how to deal with new patients. The changes of any medical practice getting cyber attached are in the order of 87%. So chances are MY SS would end up on the dark web. No thank you. Maybe its time to wake up to reality. read more

I had been having a lot of elbow trouble for months. She had it diagnosed within minutes as tennis elbow. She said to wear a wrist brace at night. Not an elbow brace but a wrist brace! It has already helped immensely and I haven't even started PT yet. read more

You get excellent care from the doctors and staff here. I highly recommend them. They take wonderful care of you

Dr Balbas and Dr Lovelace are amazing. They've both taken care of my shoulders. Bilateral. Very thankful for their expertise.

Excellent care and results!!! Dr. Slater is an excellent surgeon and very kind, careful, and very wise. He has done thousands of surgeries and never had anyone get infected. My pain level was so much lower than I expected and recovery was speedy. read more

I can't say anything negative about the surgeons or care quality as I did not get that far. I did not manage to make it past the EXTREMELY rude young woman who spoke to me on the phone and eventually hung up on me. I'm not sure what office she was out of, but she has a rude and dismissive attitude that has no place in any form of customer service. This was not a reassuring start to my surgery. My fingers are crossed for the rest of this experience and hopefully this is not a reflection of the rest of the staff. read more

HORRIBLE experience with Dr LOVELACE. He walked in the room like he'd woke in a bad mood telling me. ''Nothings broke' (I knew that) 'Your old you have arthritis' (I know) then as a charity offer, 'I can give you a steroid shot if you want me to' NO. WTH. I came to get imaging he made a snarky comment bout Chiropractors to me then, when I said 'but I did see my hip X-ray'. And I'd had stem cell on my knee. Which he also seemed to not care for. When it's not his concern. I didn't come for opinions I came for images as I explained it hurts now 24/7 like a tear. He was holding my ackle that was discolored and had a knot saying arthritis. NOT!! I know arthritis and when it's something new and different. He ended up saying 'maybe we just don't like each other' I thought WOW ok which I'm not there to like* him so that wasn't the issue. Just there to get care. So he was mouthing saying he'd get me another doctor. I said no that's ok as I was walking away from him in the hall he raised his voice telling me 'hush up'. Disgusting so flustered I said I wanted to file a complaint. They promised a call but *lied only sent a letter saying 'you can't come back!!' (I didn't want to go back!) Iv never had this happen. NEVER 57 years. Tho I'd been there before and had surgery and a great relationship with Dr Josephson. Record if you go there. No telling what you'll get because they hide complaints and don't address issues. 1 is too many for this guy. If you treat me shi++ty Im going to give back the same energy. I did not go to be talked down to and in the end abused. #feelingviolated. read more

Stay away from Tulsa Bone and Joint! This is from firsthand trying to help a family member. Not a place you want for your care. No compassion or help.. Just threatening letters...stay away from them! read more

I don't understand Dr's who are impersonal & aloof. Just do not feel I want Dr Jennifer Peterson to do my left hip replacement. Appointment was disappointing. Messaged Friday with questions. Took 5 days to get a reply. Don't feel very cared about. I realize Dr's are busy. But, this could have all been better. read more

As a new patient with TBJ, my first visit with Dr Smith exceeded my expectations! I had met him beforehand while attending an appt with a family member. New patient forms can easily be completed online beforehand. It's a convenient, time-saving option in comparison to an earlier arrival time. Upon arrival, the receptionist scanned copies of my insurance card and I was taken to an exam room within 10 minutes. Dr. Smith's PA came into the room prior to his arrival. We reviewed my forms and the reason of my visit. Then, I was sent for X-rays. Dr. Smith is so thorough! He takes the time to make a personal connection, addresses all your concerns, and provides treatment options in detail. He makes you feel comfortable and did not rush my appt at all! 5 stars in my book of TOP, Tulsa Drs!!!! If you're looking for a spine specialist, I cannot recommend Dr Smith enough! Or, if you know of another great, orthopedic specialist, they are currently hiring! read more

My mother came here after a botched knee replacement at TBJ due to extreme pain. They accused her of seeking pain meds and refused to treat her, they insulted her and sent her away despite her saying she didn't feel she could survive the pain. Turns out she had a serious infection and her body was rejecting the replacement. Absolutely inhumane treatment, do not go here if you want high quality and responsible care. read more

Regarding Dr Peterson. I echo similar opinions across this and other review sites. She's definitely a skilled surgeon ~ but if she's not interested in your case, she's dismissive. I have a full thickness left labral tear, and birth defect, in agonizing pain. She's offered no assistance. Won't explain a denial for a steroid injection. Would not assist in getting a lidocaine patch. Offered PT which made everything worse. Referred back to neuro for my lumbar spine doesn't negate the hip tear. She's simply unable or unwilling to help with labral tears and the pain associated with them, and provides no alternatives for the patient. Leaves us hanging. She wants to do knee replacements and hip replacements. I've advocated for myself. Pulling together my own pain management. Everyone else I have dealt with at TB has been amazing and supportive. I'm very thankful. Sadly, I Just did not click with this physician. Very disappointed read more

This is the prime example of worthless and cruel behavior by an establishment. We've tried to work out a payment plan for 3K but they rejected it because of greed. Not some super exorbitant amount. They're suing us now like the Mafia. These are the type of People our Lord Jesus Christ warned us about. Squashing the faces of the helpless into the dirt. These are horrible soulless people and I recommend going somewhere else. A place that Truly cares about their patients because they didn't do ANYTHING to help my issue. Just sent an exorbitant bill and are extorting us now. Shame on all of you at Tulsa Bone and Joint. Stay away and go somewhere else for treatment. read more

actually Dr was nice at first then rude looking at watch when asking question and the brace shop they lie to you in office they tell you to sign paper for self pay on brace it's cheaper and will bill you then they file ins on it and send you big bill expect you to pay! there excuse was oh on self pay we do cash that day well office said straight up don't file ins and do self pay they will bill you balance so that's what we did!! but now have huge bill they lie to you so don't believe them! terrible customer service we moved on found better place never use them again read more

Tulsa bone and joint, For years.. Always with the best care and service I have received in my life.. But that change today.. There is a Doctor there that I will no longer use and do not want to be affiliated with him at all.. Doctor Reddy, I injured my back 3 weeks ago had an MRI done last Thursday I Asked a simple question ,can I get active or am I hurt.. I need to be careful. Would not give me an answer when I called twice nurse was not receptive and only demanded that I came in for their evaluation which is the 15th of this month.. I want to get back to my life. All I needed to know is it gonna be all right to be active or do I need to be careful.. Refuse to give me the simple answer I wanted.. I fired him and his practice this afternoon. I found my old back surgeon Doctor Richard Thomas and I am moving over to see him he's always been kind and pleasant. And gave me a straight answer when I asked... I will continue to use Tulsa bone and joint because I love the facility Doctor Jason Griffin is a great Doctor and I will continue to use him and his staff.. Sincerely William farmer retired United States of army. 100% disabled veteran. read more

I had a complete spinal redo after mishaps on the first two. Dr. R. Drake is responsible for performing this nine hour surgery under general anesthesia. The surgery went off without any issues and Dr. Drake was amazing. This was a very dangerous surgery, one that could have ultimately left me paralyzed or even dead. Given the possible negative outcomes which could have happened, I opted to have the redo and am so happy I did! Thank you to Dr. Drake for making this possible read more

scheduled a new patient appointment, arrived 15 minutes early, and waited over an hour before having to ask what was taking so long. they then informed me that dr. smith was running behind and they couldn't give me an estimated time to be seen. we just told them to cancel our appointment and we would find somewhere else to go. they did not let us know he was running behind or even try to reschedule us. time was taken off of work to make this appointment to not be notified or having a mutual respect as we did when we arrived early and did everything on our part. I believe this was handled very unprofessionally, and puts the care of patients well below standard. we will not be going back to seeing dr.smith read more

My doctor is the very best: he listens, he cares, he has a gentle way about him as he is careful not to hurt my sore knees or legs. I've never had a bad experience in all the years I've gone to Dr. Griffin at Tulsa Bone and Joint. Their office is well organized, kind people ready to help me in any way. Thank you for being there for all of our orthopedic needs. read more

I thought it was a fair place but not any longer. Last year the long lasting steroid knee injection lasted 10 months, this year it did not work at all, but of course they expect full payment and offer no other solutions, so I won't go back!!! And even though my only income is Social Security, they will not accept the payment I can comfortably make so I'm going to let them sue me! read more

I had been going to Tulsa bone and Joint for several years mostly for treatment in my knee with mixed results depending on the doctor you see, however I kept going due to them having an urgent care. After my last visit with doctor Lovelace I will never return. They rush you brought, don't listen, have no answers to any questions and try and encourage unnecessary procedures with no interest in your physical goals or needs only the profits that they may see. On top of that they are completely rude and unhelpful, the billing office speaks in a single spongy sarcastic voice. Advanced Orthopedics also has an urgent care, more advanced equipment, and much much much better doctors. Anyone going to Tulsa Bone and Joint is literally gambling with their health ! read more

Extremely disappointing visit with Dr. Mokhte! The very first thing out of his mouth was "Why are you here and what do you want?" First off, if you read the referral Dr. you would know why I was there! Second of all, how rude- it made me feel like he thought I was drug seeking! Again, if he had read the referral, he would have known I cannot take opiates or pain narcotics- they all make me sick and vomit. He gave me a steroid injection that did nothing and then sent me a bill, and wanted me to come back to try another injection in another spot. I do not recommend Dr. Mokhtee, his bedside manner is lacking. My father was a surgeon- I'm glad he isn't alive to see the state of the medical system and the horrible direction doctors like this are taking it! read more

Tulsa Bone and Joint is unprofessional. I complained about a physical therapist who was reckless and aggressive doing a full extension on my knee during the second outpatient PT session. This PT was fired because he also accessed patient records illegally. Then this clinic treated me like a black swan, and I cannot even make follow up appointments with my surgeon. If you complain at all, this clinic will turn it upside down on you. The administration of Tulsa Bone and Joint is unethical. I do not recommend this clinic. read more

Last month I had surgery on my left hand. I have now completed one month of post op therapy and I must say that the results have exceeded my best expectations. I had pre-op appointment with Dr. Mokhtee who explained exactly what the surgery would involve, what results could be expected. My post-op appointment was with the therapists who examined the surgery and explained what to expect with therapy. I had therapy two times a week for four weeks. The therapists very closely monitored my healing and progress during the healing process and adjusted my therapy according to my healing progress. I am very happy with the results and expect better results as I continue to heal. I want to give special thanks to Dr. Mokhtee for his surgical expertise. And therapists Molly Cook and Kelly Reeder. For their expertise and friendly professionalism I singled out these individuals because they are the individuals I had direct contact with. However I also want to commend the entire staff of Dr Mokhtee and the hand therapy department read more

I had knee replacement surgery on January17, 2023. Dr. Tony Jabbour was my doctor and surgeon. What a pro!! Awesome bedside manner. The care we received was better than 5 Stars. Completely off the charts. Can't say enough about Melissa, Dr. Jabbour's assistant. She was a jewel. Thanks to the whole staff including Rayann, Jackie, Cat, Diane, Amy, Yvonne and Brianna. No one wishes for surgery. However, when you get the care I received you are blessed. Thanks for your care and expertise. read more

Thank you everyone for making my right knee replacement the best experience it could be. Of course painful after but Dr Clements is a great surgeon & all the staff that attended to me at St. John's Broken Arrow, 5th floor orthopedic ward are amazing Niurses, nursing assistants, Dietary , RT , PT & occ therapy & chaplains. This hospital is 5 stars plus. Thank you all read more

Above and beyond!!! I took my dad to TB&J Urgent Care, and to say we had "additional challenges" when I arrived with my elderly father, is an understatement. The entire staff was AMAZING especially Deanna, Randall, and Britney. These three individuals were our dream team, using creativity to overcome our obstacles and get to the bottom of my dad's pain and treat him quickly with so much care and compassion, it left me in tears, with hugs all around! And when we were leaving Brandon offered the extra help we needed to get my dad situated to get into the transport vehicle. This experience could have gone in such a different direction if it weren't for the wonderful staff of TB&J Urgent Care! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!! read more

Went to see Dr. Lovelace this past Tuesday for the first time. Extremely pleased with him and his nurse Emily. I am 76 years old and so many times doctors tend to brush older people off like we dont deserve time they give to younger ones. Not so this time. Took time to really listen to me and move my arms and neck around and then did lots of explanations. Referring me further on to a doctor dealing more with my issues. Explained why and told me about the other doctor. The office people were wonderful as well. Jimaneis was great to try extra hard to get me the very earliest appt as she could tell i was in pain. Just tremendously pleased with the nurse's very jovial and friendly ways, the doctor being so caring and was a good experience even though it was a painful time in my life with my health. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!! read more

From a new patient perspective, I cannot recommend this facility. This is the first time I've paid the co-pay and not seen the doctor because they were running that far behind schedule. Wait time was unreasonably long, but I have to get my issue resolved so I had no choice but to reschedule. Praying the co-pay carries over and that this doesn't become a complete exercise in futility. Two stars instead of one because of they seemed to have a good system in place regarding COVID precautions & everyone was masked up. read more

This place is terrible, I was told to arrive an hour early and when I got there I was told I had to wait in my car but I rode the bus. They still would not let me in to wait even after telling them I have a spinal cord injury. It is only 34 degrees outside. I will never come here again. read more

The Rheumatology department and RML/LabCorp by far has the rudest staff I have ever had the displeasurable interaction with. The infusion department treats you like a number game and runs you through like cattle at a sell. No personal treatment or compassion. Most definitely treats great doctors awful!! Thankfully my rheumatologist moved on to bigger and better opportunities. I no longer have to deal with the unprofessional staff thank goodness 100% would not recommend this facility. read more

This is a huge operation and very impersonal. They treat patients like livestock, but not in a bad way. They have such a volume of patients, they have everything figured out the most efficient use of time and moving around. The building looks pretty new and is very nice. There are so many employees, no wonder everything costs so much. The staff are friendly enough, but you can tell you are 1 of a hundred they will see today. They do all radiology diagnostics in the facility. The place was packed and we waited only 5 minutes in the waiting room and 5 minutes in the treatment room. The Physician Assistant gave us her full attention and updated us on everything, I felt genuine care and concern from her. How can I dis a place that gave my husband a new knee so he can walk again?????? :) read more

Dr Griffin was very polite and professional. I had no issues with either of my appointments. However he looked at my MRI results and told me I did not have a rotator cuff tear, it was an impinged nerve. Good news, so they sent me to PT. But the report sent to the PT says I DO have a rotator cuff tear. Myself and the PT has attempted to contact them to clear up the matter several times. We just need a copy of the MRI results. I turned in a medical release form 3 weeks ago b/c they said that was what was needed. Yesterday, I finally got a letter in the mail saying I needed to pay them 4.65 in order for them to release my medical records to me. Which seems crazy since I paid for the MRI. Now I have to wait for them to mail them. So weeks later I am still in pain and don't know what is wrong. Who knows when the information will come. This is ridiculous. read more

First time ever in my life getting physical therapy. I'm 60+. The therapists were top notch. Anton is a beast, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Nichole was great to work with. One of the therapists talked incessantly. Word of advice.. don't argue with the client/customer and person paying your salary. They might write a frank review. Also, I don't need to hear about your daily diary. I could care less that Johnny loves your new car, your new church, the pastor, baseball coach, his teachers on and on and on about me, me, me. That place is too small for that kind of noise. So, therapists are excellent. I'll ding the larger office and payment process for not covering this up front. I didn't know my net cost and that should have been explained. Therapy cost less insurance). The, I have a choice to discuss paying cash or use my insurance. read more

I have always had the best care here. I had a knee and hip replacement 6 yers ago and Dr Slater and now my right knee needs one so I went back to Dr Slater yesterday and as usual he was the best and so was his nurse.
