The reviews listed below were collected independently of Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr. James and staff were very professional and informative. Except one nurse who's disrespect, hostile conduct I am seriously considering going to a different provider. That nurse woke me from anesthesia by ripping the heart monitor from my hairy chest. I will subject myself to such abuse. First, the sensor didn't have to be removed and secondly, rubbing alcohol disolves the glue. It appeared that she enjoyed the event. Never again.

He's the first doctor to talk through the MRIs, so that's nice. For the tratment though, I feel like it's extremely unlikely for a tendon to magically reattach to a bone and the only treatment is to wait it out and hope it gets better. If it doesn't get better (and I doubt it will), I get to pay insurance another 3 grand in deductibles - if surgery becomes the plan.
