The reviews listed below were collected independently of Southeast Orthopedic Specialists through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.

Very friendly & engaging and took the time to educate on possibilities. Cautious with diagnosis by putting in methods to find source of issue; it was refreshing instead of getting a band aid and told to schedule a follow up in 4 months.

I waited 45 minutes for a 10 minute exam without anyone acknowledging my wait time. I gave him a 3 because he was professional. Not too personable.

My appointment with Dr. Bates eased my anxiousness about the pain in my left shoulder. He gave me a list of options to consider and allowed me to choose a non-invasive option before jumping straight into surgery. I really appreciate the time he took to explain each option.

Professional and courteous. Explained the problem very well. Only question I have is X-rays were taken of both shoulder, but were never discussed. Were they necessary ?
