Great experience
If I had seen Dr Slappey I would have rated a five
The best doctor at Orthowest. He shows much concern in you recovery and shows each patient respect and takes time to explain and answers any question and concerns the patients have. His knowledge is remarkable and just all around great doctor. 5 star rating.
Probably one of the top 10 surgeons in the whole United States of America. Barn Dr. Slappy is so precise has a great bedside and office manner. Takes his time with his patience and explains everything and answer answers any questions that you may have. Do yourself a favor if you’re having any problems with your hips, your shoulder arthritis Dr. Slappy and his staff are the ones to see.
Did not see
David Scruggs and all of his staff were amazing.
After 3 months of visits test and procedures they have come to the conclusion that “they don’t know what’s causing my pain” and to follow up with Dr Kirby In a MONTH…as you can see…I’m going another practice! Also Amanda cal with attitude because I was frustrated by the month long for wait for ANOTHER appointment with Dr Kirby…I told them not acceptable they needed to work me in somewhere…apparently THAT is not acceptable to her! Would not recommend this due to Amanda’s rudeness and I’m still no better after 3 MONTHS!
Saw David
Great doctor, communicates well and down to earth man.
Good visit thanks
