Dr cates is the best he’s very kind and has great bedside manner I would recommend him to anyone his staff is also great !!!! Very helpful !
I love Dr. Cates. He’s so sweet and he listens to you and he helps you in anyway that he can and he knows what’s best. I would definitely recommend my family and friends to him.
Dr Cates is so nice, friendly and appears concerned about my comfort and my level of confidence in his skills.
Dr Cates is great, but I didn't see him today, a young man named Drew who wasn't interested in helping me with my leg but order pain meds & order an MRI. I have been coming to this facility for 30+ years. This is the first time I have ever walked out of Carrollton Orthopedics almost in tears. A waste of my money & time.
Always
