The reviews listed below were collected independently of Orthopedic Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
My expectations were high after my therapist recommended Dr Watson. He was very nice. I left feeling a bit disappointed and my issue minimized. Then, I was directed to therapy for orthotics. I waited at least 20 minutes. I approached staff and was told I would need to wait to be fitted into the therapist's schedule with absolutely no idea on the wait time frame. They weren't aware I was even waiting. Now, I have to wait 2 weeks for an appointment and then another 2 weeks for the orthotics to arrive. I left frustrated and disappointed. I had such a great experience with Dr Hurd and Dr Curd's PA recently.

From Dr. Watson I chose orthopedics because there are fixable problems with visible outcomes. I enjoy seeing a variety of musculoskeletal problems and treating all ages, from young to the elderly. It is also fun being able to work with your hands, honing a craft, and having some mastery or expertise in a particular field.
I want people to feel that they are cared for. I base my decisions on what I would want for myself or my loved ones. When you come to Orthopedic Institute, you are not just a number. It gives me great pleasure to provide individualized care for my patients.
