I had a great first time experience with Doctor Hooper. He’s the first doctor to draw fluid from my knee without me feeling any pain. The staff has great customer service as well as Dr. Hooper. I most definitely will be back.

It had been a few years since having my knees partially replaced by Dr Curtis. Saw him yesterday with shoulder issues and it turned out to be very good. I got the assessment and therapy I was hoping would happen. Thanks for being so thorough and thoughtful during my visit. You are the best!

Our whole experience at Urgent Ortho was great. The ladies at the front desk were wonderful, the tech was great, and I am super impressed w Dr Tremlett. He was kind, but assertive w what needed to be done with the type of injury she had. He got her in immediately for a CT and called me personally to discuss the results. He already had an appt for her w the hand specialists for the next morning when he called. I am very pleased w him and the urgent ortho facility. While I hope we are not back anytime soon, I think he is a great asset to our medical community, especially to for sport injuries with our children athletes.

The expertise and knowledge base that Dr Samuelson has is very impressive! I’ve been to him a few times now and he has my problem accurately diagnosed and treated within a very short period. Had an injection in my shoulder and and injection in my wrist for carpal tunnel and the results are awesome!!

Dr. Hooper and the staff at Southern Ortho are awesome! Saw him for my knee; he has really good bedside manner and explained things in a way I could understand. He made sure I knew what the plan was going forward. He’s very thorough and doesn’t make you feel rushed at all. Also shoutout to the xray tech: I’m sorry I don’t remember his name but he’s so kind and makes people feel comfortable! I would recommend them!

Dr Mattox was compassionate and showed genuine interest in providing the best care possible for my injury. He and his tech Andy provided a top notch brace and fitting that has really made all the difference in my recovery. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful through the check in process. The check out staff was also very friendly and informative.
