The reviews listed below were collected independently of Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Basically never asked me anything. He said my lower back had arthritis, not much he could do besides take an MRI. Never even asked me about the type of pain or location of the pain. Overall, the visit was worthless.
