John Shepard was professional and informative. The treatment he prescribed has already reduced the pain in my foot within the first 24 hours of when I was seen at the clinic. John, as well as everyone who cared for me that day i.e. nurse, radiology technician and Ariana at the front desk were professional, pleasant, great communicators with positive attitudes. That is why I always find myself going back to Raleigh Ortho for my orthopedic needs. Many thanks to all of you for truly being dedicated professionals!

Prescription for meds sent to wrong pharmacy and I do not have a contact number to call his office and let them know

EXPLAINED WHAT HE SAW AND WHAT I NEEDED TO DO.

I saw John in September at the urgent care center when I injured my shoulder on a Saturday. John diagnosed my injury after the X-rays, and recommended an injection to relieve my pain. He explained my injury, treatment options, and what I could and could not do going forward. I feel that John did an exceptional job with my injury and I was fortunate that he could see me on a Saturday. I got immediate relief instead of having to wait and schedule an appointment the following week.

Treated my problem seriously and was able to provide me some relief until I can get established at physical therapy.

He explained the technical part well, but I was left not understanding what I could or couldn't do as a result of my condition. I didn't know what could make it worse, or if that was possible.

So personable and professional. Caring. He explained everything and made sure we understood. Highly recommend.

I had a really messy injury to my foot and toe. It was extremely sensitive when responding to touch. John was great. No wise guy comments on which was so appreciated as was so embarrassed with my clumsiness.
