Michael and their entire staff were extremely helpful! I took my daughter for a hurt wrist and they took such good care of her. Explained everything to both of us and made her feel safe and comfortable. Going anywhere receiving this sort of care and attention nowadays is rare. So, when you do receive it, it’s such a blessing. I cannot thank you all enough.

Dr Correa and his nurse Jeannette are absolutely wonderful! They have been very patient with us since day 1, very responsive, accommodating to our schedules, answered all my 100+ questions and requests and downright made us feel very comfortable. I highly recommend his experienced professional services I got several opinions b4 surgery (trying to make sure this was the right step) and Dr Correa and Jeanette services they provided topped them all! We moved forward with his surgical services and haven’t looked back since! Healing is on it’s way🙌🏾

Great experience for a new patient. Easy to check in with friendly staff members. Short wait time. Physician and nurse were thorough and the physician was not quick to jump immediately to surgery as my first option for treatment. Radiology staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend this practice.

I just had my first visit last week. Honestly, at first, I was a little skeptical - I guess due to the place being so big. I was assuming I wouldn't have a personal experience. I was wrong. The PA that came in and spoke with me was outstanding! She was very knowledgeable and just a pleasure to be around. She was Dr. Ashana's PA. Even the X-ray tech was nice. My feelings were definitely turned around from my original thoughts! Would highly recommend and I will be returning.

Dr Mark Galland provided a good clear explanation in first PostOp follow up of exactly what was discovered, repaired, and reasoning from shoulder surgery.
Clear citations of clinical journals and such from which reasoning was based during surgery execution, and citations of his own experiences in patient outcomes.
Clear guidance on what I may and may not do with my arm at this phase and direction to 4 named trusted Physical Therapists recommended for mature practice with my specific type of rehabilitation needs and next steps; which are somewhat unique.

Dr. Correa is an excellent doctor! He is very smart, great at what he does, and a great disposition/bedside manner to boot. My mother, sister and grandmother have all been to see him over the years, but it was my first time. But I totally agree with their assessment, and I am happy he was my doctor! (Also, his nurse that’s been with him for 18 years is awesome and super accommodating. )

Run... don't walk away from this place.
Terrible, unprofessional &$$ motivated doctors. Did not go over my very expensive mri and xrays with me. I did not get to see the images until calling practice manager and going back again - 3 visits later. Was told i need partial knee replacement with a full replacement in my future. I saw a supervising doctor who just complained about my original doctor and still did not have my images. He provided me brochures for very expensive knee braces and suggested injections. Wait, what? I thought I needed replacement surgery. I immediately asked for

I didn't know what to expect from an Ortho Urgent Care facility, I was pleasantly surprised. Staff was nice, friendly and helpful of where I needed to be. Even though my pain level was at 10 just to get there was challenging, on top of that I forgot my insurance card, but to no avail patient staff kept me calm and we got information verified. Overall 5-stars from reception, exam,x-ray and wonderful doctor, D.Castle. I appreciate your attentiveness, professionalism and courteousness to my care.

I'm reading these bad reviews and thinking, "Wow. My experience was great. I should say something." I came here in a great deal of pain from arthritis and scoliosis that has compressed a disc in my back. It buckles my knees when it shocks me with pain--which is any time I get up from a chair, roll over, or lie down for any length of time. It's pretty awful, and I needed help. They saw this and said so. I was taken back quickly--within 10 minutes. My doctor was attentive and kind. So was the Physician's Assistant. They listened well, and I left with a prescription, a resolve

This was my first time visiting this group and the wait time was pretty decent. The front office staff seemed always busy but with not many people waiting to see them, so check-in was interesting having to wait.
The nurse called me in and the PA arrived soon after to ask me questions. Also, Dr. Galland came in a few minutes after the PA left and went over my options for my trigger finger issue. Once we made the decision (surgery), another staff member came

Get ready for a long wait and not so friendly front desk staff. I have been here two times. Once for my son which resulted in a 45 minute wait in the lobby before our scheduled appointment. The second time was about a 40 minute wait in the lobby before my scheduled appointment. Dr Correa was in a hurry and he hardly had time to answer any questions even though he was proposing surgery. Even his nurse was a bit rude when she rolled her eyes and asked why I needed shoes for the short walk down the hall to the x-ray room. I explained that it was very painful to walk with a bone spur in my heel. When

I've made the mistake of coming to this location twice; once for an injury and once for a sports physical. We won't be back. Post-appointment we couldn't get anyone to return our calls or emails, or follow up with the orthopedist regarding xrays. When we went for the physical, the waiting room was empty and we waited for well over an hour as people came and went and no one even addressed us until I asked-TWICE.
Would not recommend.

The PAs that tended to my son were amazing. After Xrays showed a broken wrist that needed to be set, they talked through different options both in the office and at the ER. We opted to let them try to set it, and they were very patient and did a great job. One star deducted as they couldn't give my little guy any meds for pain or nerves (not even Tylenol). They even called AND texted me at 10pm at night to let us know the doctor's approval of the reset wrist bones. So glad we didn't go to the ER.

BEWARE - following numerous attempts to schedule an appointment and messages to Dr Edgar X Correa DPM that went unanswered regarding the post surgical difficulties I am experiencing, I sought two separate opinions. An MRI was ordered and the results showed that the surgery Correa performed had failed completely after a few months. The results were forwarded to Correa and NC Ortho months ago and still no response. Now, I need a second surgery that will not correct the failure of the first procedure. A second more drastic procedure is required to reduce the chronic pain the first surgery left

Honestly, I would give this location 5 stars simply based on the Excellent medical service we received from Dr. Zuber. However, his medical assistant/Nurse Denise is very unprofessional and negligent. My child was seen in this Wake Forest location. The Doctor advised strict medical restrictions. We left 4 voicemail messages requesting that this woman call us back regarding the Doctor's note that we needed for my child's medical condition. The initial note she had given us in office had my child's private HIPAA information disclosed on the document (we didn't realize this until

When you get to see the doctor it's a great experience and I'm am happy with the 2 doctors that I have dealt with.It's the stuff around it that is stressful.

I have been under pain management with Dr. Stephens for over a year now, and very time I go in, the process of seeing him is more complicated and more frustrating. I am a patient who follows medication instructions, and very careful to manage my doses. Over the last couple months, I have expressed that I would need to discuss how we could manage my medication, since I have a 2 1/2 month trip to the other side of the country to help my daughter with her new baby, and do would not be able to get back to the office at the two month mark, so was there something way to manage this.
