Dr Bates was so kind an patient with my 90 year old mother! I also appreciated his alternative treatment first before sending her for a cortisone shot. Would highly recommend him!

Very professional.

Extremely pleased with Dr Bates. Direct, to the point, and offered treatment options outside of surgery.

Very helpful for my first visit.

Great bedside manners knowledgeable and efficient. My surgery date has been scheduled.

Found him to be competent and focused on my anatomy and physiology.

It was great looking forward to seeing him and hopefully we can get my knee fixed

very knowledge

Very professional and listened to me.

Very professional and well dressed. He doesn’t do knee replacements but referred me to another physician on staff.

We love Dr. Bates… Always very professional and thorough… Takes the time to explain things to you

Very good, knowledgeable, easy to talk with

A caring doctor

Met Dr. Bates for first time today and was very impressed. He gave me a thorough examination and explained what the problem was and how to best care for it. He listens and doesn't rush you .

Great Job Doc!!! Go Navy!!

All the staff is very professional and my shoulder surgery went very well including Chris Walker staff @ P T

Such a great doctor!

Very professional and very nice

We nice and very well dressed. Spoke very clear and to the point.i would gladly recommend him to others.

Very pleased.

My first visit with Dr. Bates. Pleasant, knew just where my pain was. Ordered MRI, did stays. We'll see what he recommends for my shoulder. I have also seen in this group Dr Shirley for my knee, and Dr Gull for my carpal tunnel. All great guys.

Great demeanor, very knowledgeable. Wish all doctors we’re as Good as he is!!!!

We felt very confident with knowing he was listening to our problem and how to go about getting my son back to his sport safely.

I was very happy with the first visit with Dr. Bates. I followed up by going directly to the Southeast MRI Imaging Center for the MRI. One stop service was very helpful.

The best!

Great Doctor. Very personable and understanding.

Dr. Bates was kind, thoughtful, and offered helpful advice and treatment. The office, though very busy, was extremely efficient!

Very professional and informative.

I felt he was just pushing me out the door and overpowering my own opinions the whole entire visit.

Dr. Bates is always patient and extremely professional.

Thank you so much for listening too me and wanting to help. The entire staff is amazing

Accurate assessment and swift path forward.

Dr. Bates was extremely down to earth. He helpful in diagnosing my problem and informed me of the least invasive way to correct it.

professional and knowledgeable. Listens to you

Love him! He cares!

one of the nicest doctors i have a seen in a long time, he spent enough time to make sure i understood everthing

This was my first visit with Dr. Bates. Very informative. No long waits.

Super job> He was clear, concise, and super professional. I would recommend Dr. Bates to anyone.

The only problem I had with my visit is that the prescribed medications, I received in house did not come with specific written instructions. I also had to individually google the medications to know what their for. As such am hesitant to use the medications. One of which came with a unknown acronym on the bottle PRN. Am I supposed to know what that means?!

Very Professional and he listens to what you are saying!

Dr Bates is very genuine and personable. Listens to your comments and makes appropriate recommendations. 5 stars all day!

Very good bedside manner. Did not rush and listened to what I had to say.

I was disappointed that Dr. Bates did not show me the xrays and Dr. S. Mahindra had sent over my MRI which was done a week or so before. I had mentioned it to the girl but she said that she couldn't get it. Since I had the MRI which is more descriptive, I was disappointed that they took xrays before I came in.

I was seen very promptly and I felt at ease immediately. Dr Bates was confident with his exam and made me feel important.

Very friendly

Kind, engaging, knowledgable.

Not worth the copayment.

It was my first appointment with Dr. Bates. I am very impressed with the detail and care I received from him and his staff. He was highly recommended. I agree.

Great listener. Thorough evaluation. Good communication :)

Great bedside manner.

Very knowledgeable, professional, courteous and efficient. Understood most probable injury and scheduled testing.

Very personable, explained things clearly, offered options.

I will update after it is all done but so far so good.

He did a great job with taking care of my needs as well as giving me a solid prognosis.

Best doctor alive

I’m encouraged by this visit and hopeful for results in the future.

Took time, did exam and explained everything regarding options.

Very professional and friendly. Quickly diagnosed my problem.

Excellent doctor!! Awesome!! Doctor Bates treated me like I was his only client. All doctors should be like him!! Will definitely recommend him to everybody needing assistance.

I schedule an apt because I couldn't do PT without worsting my pain in both my shoulder and back. When I came to him, he didn't give any advice whatsoever. All he said was" Your range of motion is fine, you're fine. you can close out the case, there is nothing I can do. " He didn't suggest seeing another doctor that could help with my problem, he didn't suggest maybe a lack of nutrients, nothing. I was persistent on what my options were and wanted to know why am I having my problem, he repetitively said he couldn't do anything and that I'm fine, after a moment he FINALLY SUGGESTED pain management or seeing a doctor to look at my spine. I almost left the office crying cause I know there is something wrong, I'm not fine. I used to go to the gym all the time, now I can barely do basic task without aggravation. He could have gave a few advise & suggestions or refer me to someone that could help instead of telling me I was fine and dismissing me. I had to be persistent!

Very nice

Very professional and pleasant to talk to

Excellent. Patient Care.

Did not seem rushed. Listened to me, very professional.

He explains everything to the t

Dr. Bates was great! He was very personable and professional. I appreciate his consideration even during the power outage.

What a great exam, explanation, and plan for moving forward with my son’s shoulder injury!

Ethical: could have done surgery but Was honest and recommended against it for physical therapy.

My doctor is the best he help me and

Dr. Bates was well prepared for my first visit with you. Highly recommend! Very professional and proficient!

Love the time that he took with us. He explained everything thoroughly and we didn't feel rushed. He took the time to explain things to my daughter as well and let her ask questions. We will definitely recommend him to others!

First time here Dr Bates was efficient, to the point and has a great bedside manor when i came in for my evaluation! Loved the experience and would recommend to anyone who asked

went right to the problem and explained it to where I understood it.

He’s the best of the best

SOS MRI services need to be contracted with Cigna to prevent patients from having to go elsewhere to get an MRI. I just went to Precision Imaging. only to find out that the CD they provided was faulted and unusable/worthless, to the Dr. In-house MRI services would have prevented this and give better service to the customer. Please get it done ASAP.

He was very nice and knowledgeable.

Professional and outstanding surgeon

No answers! I have a torn rotator cuff and a pinched nerve in my neck. He and Dr. Herford just keep sending me back and forth to ea other. Can't and doesn't want to help me. I'm in horrible pain and they don't care!! Really disappointed. No answers, no help. Just a big bill!

To big of a hurry it seemed. Didn't really give me a chance to speak. And did nothing for my pain. Anything to help me so I could sleep. It's obvious I am in pain 3 weeks of it. Thank God I start back to pain management tomorrow

Very professional and friendly too!

Great Doc!!!!

Best Dr to see for shoulder!!

always cordial and making me feel at ease.I am comfortable with him in the room.

Excellent Doctor. Spent adequate time with me. Answered all my questions. Would highly recommend.

Quite knowledgeable, very informative, easy to talk to and decisive.

Hospitable, Polite, Asked questions and addressed my issues

Outstanding experience.

Dr. Bates demonstrates superior knowledge in his field and excellent Professionalism. Dr. Bates goes above and beyond to deliver stellar compassionate care!

N/A

He was very pleasant and personable, and did a good job explaining the situation.

Dr. Bates was very kind and caring about my health issues. Would recommend him to friends and family.

Wonderful

Polite and clearly knowledgeable, however there were many questions regarding my pain that he didn't ask (how often, how intense, dull/sharp/etc), and I had to stop him as he tried to leave the room because I still had questions and concerns. I was expecting more thoroughness from a specialist - the PT that was ordered locally was much more thorough and informative. Also, I had to call back twice after my appointment because neither my prescription nor PT order was actually sent out.

Very professional.

Prompt with my visit, gave several options for how to address my problem, great bedside manner.

Very personable. Dr Bates Listened to my concerns and answered all my questions

Very professional and thorough. Enjoyed visit.

Competent, compassionate, skilled in the O R. I highly recommend DR. Bates for his surgical skills. Dr. Bates got me back to high intensity training, and reassured me all the way through the shoulder repair process. Also, Dr. Bates bedside manner is top notch as a listener, and then his educating you compassionately.

Excellent is a correct statement. Extremely courteous and knowledgeable.

Excellent Doctor with sound advice!! Thank you for everything you have done for my son.

Dr. Bates gives the best suggestions as to how to treat a patient's concerns. A straight shooter with honesty.

Excellent visit, very caring and is doing the right thing for me to relieve my pain and discomfort

First time meeting for an appointment. I hope my future visits be as pleasant as this one was

Friendly and compassionate. Professional.

Very informative and didn’t push surgery right away. Instead offered PT.

Very good doctor very efficient doctor

Very easy to talk to, very courtius.

Great staff and Doctor Bates is wonderful!!!!

Good visit very proffesional wish we could of. Gotten better news

Very nice and information given understood. Was late in getting me back. This is the second time I was brought back late in the last 2 personal visits with him. Ryan is always on time when I have been seen by him. Reason for my 3 stars.

Professional

Excellent Doctor

How are you and your physician assistant not on the same page with my diagnosis. Your physician assistant tells me I have a tear in my labrum. Then tells me ultimately I will have surgery but first have to complete physical therapy for insurance purposes. I complete my physical therapy which helped with my motion and building up some strength but it can not help my pain. Part 2 in questions, concerns addressed.

Outstanding physician & very pleased.

Explained everything to my sadisfaction

Great guy and a great surgeon!

Excellent clinical evaluation. Addressed my concerns and helped me confirm my decision to cancel a planned arthroscopic surgery.

I haven’t had surgery yet so hard to give rating yet

A great experience from the receptionist all the way up to the doctor and your whole staff that I came into contact with. 😊

Dr Bates was OUTSTANDING! I’ve had knee issues since 2006. A few surgeries in the books and he did x-rays that were not previously done and spoke about surgical options not mentioned to me by previous doctors.

Very professional, smart and knowledgeable

Good Doctor!

Very nice person and friendly. Explained everything.

Previous shoulder surgery was great, still doing great,now other shoulder is acting up. Great communication with patients also

awesome

Very Personable.

Right to the Point. Excellent and to the Point

Very professional and knowledgeable! Wish I found him sooner!

I saw the doctor once. I think he is probably a great doctor. Two other times I saw Ryan who gave me a shot I was allergic too, but that was not his fault. Ryan was good, I saw him twice. Today,I thought I was going to see the doctor but another physican assistant came in Ryan. I have been in pain for about 4 weeks and I would have take my left arm to help move my right arm. I asked if I could have a shot for an anti Inflammatory but I guess you can’t have that bad for me.

Very professional, no-nonsense, knew his stuff cold.

Wonderful Dr

Very attentive to my concerns and pain. I loved that he acted like he had plenty of time to talk with me. I didn't feel rushed and like a 'number" in the waiting room . I would recommend him to.anyone and have high hopes he"ll be able to.help me

Good for a first visit

Excellent Orthopedic Surgeon, very professional

Straight forward, answered my questions direct, surgery very successful

Personable, efficient and professional

I made an appointment to see Dr. Bates because I broke my left humerus. Had to take time off of work as did my wife to bring me in. Within 60 seconds of seeing Dr. Beatty tells me I have to see someone else for a broken humerus. Couldn’t someone had told me that and scheduling and saved my time not to mention my money for a worthless appointment?

He really didn’t take the time to really look over my shoulder

Dr. Bates is personable and very thorough. I trust his opinion and feedback.

Dr. Bates was thorough in explaining everything to me regarding the concern that brought me into his office. He shows a genuine care and concern for his patients.

Very good doctor. Knows his stuff.

Professional. On time.

He seemed to be in a hurry!

He was very handsome and nice

Delightful experience.

Excellent surgeon, patient advocate, and all has a great team that all worked together to provide best in class care for my shoulder replacement surgery. I would only let DR Bates operate on me!

Has an air of arrogance, talked to me using medical terms (besides that one used to communicate with the MA which is understandable)and when I asked to say it in English he said I am speaking English. I didn't deserved a contextual explanation, he is a product of this office's climate. I will research a more professional and down human centric place.

Very Personable. Listens. Direct and to the point. Practical recommendations.

Was fine till I asked about the Flexinator I told me about and felt he was impatient cause he said i already told you. I didn't get a chance to finish asking what I wanted to know. I am aware I have restrictions i want fixed. I wanted more info as to if this was a device placed in MY chair at home or self sitting chair. He did not need to be shirt with me. I am not stupid, and I felt this way. I have enjoyed having Dr. Bates he is highly recommended and did great with my but felt very belittled.

Dr. Bates was professional and courteous. He seemed genuinely concerned about my issue.

I came in wanting answered and a solution. I got neither. 3rd doctor to do this. My shoulder is killing me.

Everything was very efficient. It seemed like everyone had a job to do and did it well. Very personable

SOS has very professional people. Never a problem. Dr Bates always takes the time needed for his patient.

I highly recommend Dr. Bates. Very skilled in his professional. Professional and caring in his bedside manner Definitely a 5 star physician

Very personable, informative. Like him alot

Very knowledgeable & communicates well. Would highly recommend.

Very professional and took time explaining the possible problem and his plan of care.

My doctor is the best

Dr. Bates was professional, personable and pleasant. He was direct in his demeanor, which I appreciate. He shared his observations and recommendations. I felt comfortable and heard. Something I've found to be rare when visiting Dr's due to patient loads and time constraints. I'd definitely recommend anyone needing orthopedic care to consider Southeast Orthopedic Specialists.

very caring ,

Dr Bates was very personable and knowledgeable. He explained everything fully and clearly and was attentive to our needs, concerns and desires in reference to treatment

Loved that he did not just jump on the surgery band wagon, lets try a few other approaches first, and hold that card as a last resort.

Dr. Bates has operated on me before with great results.

Commpassionate and pushes resolve and heal or treatment needed... An uncommon these comfort, who have surgery by.

Really enjoyed my first visit the doctor and his P A were very attentively

Efficient and explained what was needed to be done to relieve me of my pain.

Great bedside manor

Fantastic Surgeon. Understands his patients needs and a great listener. Highly Recommended.

Professional, inspired confidence

Very Professional

Awesome experience!

This is the first time seeing anybody and their practice and so I don't have any complaint whatsoever. I'd have to talk to a few people at the desk and not one of them was rude to me and took care of me. I will B staying at their practice because they do have several different specialties and so I will be able to stay at one place which is nice

Great bedside

Great Doctor and wonder personality

Wonderful compassionate Doctor!

Great listener and diligently sought an answer to a tricky/uncommon knee problem that we had not until seeing him felt we had received a proper evaluation for. Looking forward to healing and a positive progress with his help.

Very sound judgement. Treats patients with empathy but firm resolve to do it properly, including the patient's side of the responsibility for a good outcome.

I think he was very professional

My entire family has been coming to SE for years. EVERY time we have an appointment, we don’t get seen until 1 - 1 1/2 hours later. After waiting so long, the Dr comes in for literally 2 minutes and refers me to another Dr. Not worth a $40 copay!!

Extremely thorough.

Great Doctor!! Very knowledgeable and very attentive. Always answers all my questions. Would definitely recommend him !!

He was very attentive to what I was saying and just as importantly he listened to what my knee was telling him so far he’s great thank you sir

He is the best there is, he really helped my son Denali get back to football in no time!!!

I don’t feel he let me know what’s the diagnosis of my problem, or why he is referring me to another doctor. I left puzzled by my experience. I couldn’t tell my husband what my doctor had said is “wrong”.

All around nice doctor - first visit

Friendly yet professional...Brief yet thorough.

Love Dr Bates . Appointment was great

He is overbearing and does not listen to the patient. He pushes your limits to where you are sore. And causes more pain after he tries to move and push your body

Very nice physician and the staff as well!

He is very professional, and he will figure out what is going on even if it takes a while and other treatment as needed. I give him a very high rating

Very helpful and a sweet disposition.
