The reviews listed below were collected independently of First State Orthopedics through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.

My appointment with Emily was one of the best clinical experiences I’ve ever had—truly above any physician interaction I’ve had. She listens, really listens. She takes her time, walks through every possibility, and stays fully engaged the entire visit. This is not a rushed, 7.5 minute appointment. I have a background in orthopedic sports massage, not at the level of a PA or MD, but enough to recognize when someone genuinely understands the mechanics of the body and Emily absolutely does. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your PA or provider, you’re in very capable hands.

Emily was very professional, she took the time to answer all of our questions, we did not feel that we were being rushed out of the room. First time at First State and it was a 5 star experience.
