Thank You Dr. Amy Powell for all the kindness you gave me !!!!!!

May 03, 2013

Dr. Powell is impressive. I had seen her over a year before this appointment and she remember the specifics of my previous appts and details about me that I believe may not have been part of the medical record. I appreciated her concern for me.

April 30, 2013

Amy was very helpful she listened to my questions and concerns and when I told her about my extremely upsetting experience with Shauna when I called trying to figure out where I needed to call to get help with my leg pain. Amy referred me to Dr. Cuniffe and got an appointment right away.

April 29, 2013

I would not recommend or visit this doctor again. She did not address my issue of pain and seemed rushed to get me out quickly.

April 12, 2013

Dr. Powell is a very kind and caring person. We discussed my history & prior treatments and she listened intently and asked questions, and then we made a decision about my treatment. She is fantastic and I recommend her highly.

Thank you for being such a good listener and taking time to review my records, perform an exam, and then communicate the next steps.

February 11, 2013

Dr. Powell is not the only MD I have seen at this clinic. She is the only one I choose to see me. I will wait to get an appointment with her as she takes the time to ensure I am comfortable and my shots are as pain free as possible. Powell obviously cares about me as a patient.

February 11, 2013

Dr Powell has very good bedside manner- very gracious and warm

Was easy. Felt well taken care of.

December 19, 2012

Thank You for your kindness & care !!!

December 17, 2012

I came back to see Dr. Powell because of the care I received several years ago. I have had ongoing issues for 25 years, and Dr. Powell seems to really want to figure out and get to the bottom of the problem. I have every confidence in Dr. Powell.

November 26, 2012

It is encouraging...my daughter also understands my hip-pain situation better and has confidence in the diagnosis and treatment. Thank you for including her.

November 11, 2012

I would send my Mother to Dr. Powell.

November 07, 2012

The best! Had my ortho and friends do R shoulder and L hip, but this l shoulder is the best relief I've ever had. Makes me wish I could ask to do have the R one redone by Krim's group

November 07, 2012

outstanding, inclusive and easy going

November 05, 2012

Very good experience, even though I had a feeling that they were very busy and I should make my feelings and physical problems short and to the point. Which is not a problem with me. It may be for others

October 29, 2012

Because I am of an age where "falling apart" seems to be creeping in, I have already referred a friend to Dr. Powell for hip issues. I am confident if Dr. Powell believes a different care provider would better address this friend's problem, she would refer her to an excellent physician, not just "the next in line" which can sometimes be the case.

October 16, 2012

DR. POWELL AND DR.ENGLISH WERE GREAT THEY MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE AND CARED FOR AS A PATIENT. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND DR. POWELL AND DR.ENGLISH!

October 15, 2012

I would recommend this orthopedic center to others.

October 08, 2012

My only hesitation to recommend this care provider is wait time.

October 08, 2012

Dr. Powell was very informative about my options, and had the nurse take me right down to the therapy department to help me get an appointment. Dr. Powell seems so nice and genuinely cares about me.

October 02, 2012

Dr. Powell is a real gem.

September 28, 2012

Dr Powell had a VERY calming and reassuring manner that really was commendable

She is excellent.

August 31, 2012

Dr. was friendly, helpful and efficient

August 27, 2012

good experiance not as good as the first one but efective

August 24, 2012

For orthopedic problems, we stay with Dr. Powell. She treats Tonia right.

August 24, 2012

seems to be a climate of thinking people are drug seekers or going to be if given pain medication.

August 23, 2012

Always a very nice and sharp physician. This visit - awkward and dissapointing for me. Physician in a bad mood? and 'short' with me for the first time.

August 21, 2012

Once again, an excellent experience. I can't imagine going anywhere else for my orthopedic needs.

August 20, 2012

This was Jacob's first visit with Dr. Powell. Now everyone in our family has utilized her expertise on at least one occasion. Obviously, we are pleased with our experience and have recommended her to several friends with sports type injuries or issues. She is consistently professional, pleasant, and takes the time to address the concern, review options and rationale, and includes us in the action plan. She mentors the exceptional patient experience. Though interns/residents participate in the visit, we feel confident she actively participates & directs the actino plan.

August 11, 2012

Dr. Amy Powell is FANTASTIC

July 09, 2012

AMY and team are excellent!

July 06, 2012

See above

July 04, 2012

Dr Powell, her Physicians assistant, I forgot her name, and Monica, her medical assistant were all excellent.

July 03, 2012

This was a very positive experience.

July 02, 2012

Dr. Powell is one of the best doctors I have ever visited. She has very good listening skills and most importantly takes time to review records from other doctors and PT visits. I could not ask for a better doctor. I really appeciate her care!

June 29, 2012

Wonderful doctor.

June 26, 2012

Dr. Powell and her staff were all great. I would tell others how well I was treated under her care.

I love Dr Powell so much that I have recomended her to family and friends.

June 18, 2012

I have, and continue to refer friends and family to Dr. Powell, the most recent was my father.

June 14, 2012

Dr. Powell is very kind and compassionate. She answered my questions and asked "do you have any other questions?" at the end of the visit. She involved me in the decision about the next step in my care after presenting options.

June 13, 2012

Dr. Powell is very kind and explained everything to me.

June 10, 2012

Dr. Amy Powell is great, she is caring and understanding. A great asset to the University staff.

June 08, 2012

I look forward to working with Dr. Powell to detect the root cause of my problem. I appreciate her thoroughness and even sharing with me some of her thought processes (and informing me that she was thinking aloud). She communicated brilliantly, really seemed interested, concerned, and professional. Thank you.

June 06, 2012

Dr. Powell was incredible. I will definitely recommend her. I don't think I can say the same thing for the resident who provided care.

June 04, 2012

Dr. Powell was superb. I would highly recommend her to others.

May 09, 2012

I really appreciated Dr. Powell, and thought she gave me good advice and comments.

May 04, 2012

Dr. Amy Powell and everyone at the U are very nice and they make you feel very comfortable.

May 03, 2012

Amy Powell provides the type of care and concern that is welcome and appropriate.

April 04, 2012

very compitant health care providers all questions were answered

April 01, 2012

Didn't find out till after the care provider left the office that I was to have not only an MRI, but an MRI with contrast. Any time something is going to be put into my body, I feel there must be a discussion of why this is necessary, what the advantages and risks are, what extra information will be gained, as well as an opportunity to decline.

March 13, 2012

Dr Amy Powells bedside manner was excellent She was very respectful

March 01, 2012

Dr. Powell was great. She was very friendly and attentive.

February 25, 2012

Very impressed with the physician. Should concern and was treated with very good care

February 25, 2012

Amy Powell was the doctor.

February 22, 2012

i like the group discussions of all the care provders. they discuss and come to a meeting of the minds as to what would be best for me.

February 22, 2012

She provided excellent care and the braces that she suggested I use help me so much to relive the pain of walking up and down stairs.

February 18, 2012

I know the center is a teaching school, but I wish for the olden days when I saw only the real doctor. This is not just your office but now it's all medical offices.

February 16, 2012

I am trying once again to find solutions to a long-term chronic problem. I've given up on the medical community repeatedly. I asked the Dr. if she would commit to solving the problem. She was non-committal and even said that the tests she proposed were the 'end of the road' concerning this problem. That was NOT what I wanted to hear.

February 08, 2012

a wonderful experience - will recommend her to all my friends-- Extremely well educated and informed

February 04, 2012

They were very helpful and very informative.

February 04, 2012

Explained everyting very well and quickley. Asked for any questions and all questions were answered to my satisifaction.

February 04, 2012

Dr. Powell is great, but because of fellows and residents she only spent about 3 to 5 minutes with me and I was not able to ask all my questions. I also have to make another appointment to see her about another matter that needs to be addressed. MD should be able to address more than one issue at a time and you shouldn't have to make separate appointments for each issue.

February 01, 2012

Dr. Powell always is working to find the best care regimens.

January 28, 2012

good

January 25, 2012

If my shoulder mostly or completey recovers, then the last two questions will increase to very good.

January 25, 2012

I have confidence in this physician and her staff...

January 19, 2012

Amy Powell is a gem. I've never had someone explain something so well. The entire visit was a sheer pleasure.

January 14, 2012

Overall exam was great. The follow up instructions were a bit cloudy. I expressed my concern that i did not understand what i could / could not do but I don't feel i received a satisfactory answer. I did appreciate that she did allow me to call her directly to clarify.

January 14, 2012

Dr Powell was very helpful and informative about concussion care and made us understand what needed to be done for recovery.

January 12, 2012

She is always clear and listens well!

January 11, 2012

This visit was very much improved. I have felt very disappointed on prior visits that much questions were not answered well and not much concern was given. This visit answered all my questions and I feel much better about returning in the future.

January 07, 2012

Amy was very good at making me feel comfortable and explaining what was going on. I appreciated her time in the office with me, because I've had doctors in the past spend less time with me and it was discouraging. She did a great job.

January 07, 2012

Dr. Powell provided what I can honestly say was the best experience I have had with a doctor's visit. She was very personable, nice, professional, and best of all seemed honestly interested in my specific problem and was willing to take the time to make sure I had all of my questions answered. I never got the feeling she was trying to rush me out to get to the next patient even though she knew I was only there to get a second opinion on my shoulder. It was great.

January 07, 2012

I have already referred multiple people to Dr. Powell

January 05, 2012

I left the appointment without an understanding of what was wrong with me but a treatment plan of getting an injection in my hip. I didn't realize it while i was talking to the doctor but afterward I was really unsure about whether I wanted to do the treatment. I didn't feel like I knew enough about it, what it was meant to do, if there were any side effects, or whether it would be the best thing for me in the circumstances I was in. I realize some of this was my failure to ask questions. Maybe there could be a resource or written material that patients could refer to later.

January 05, 2012

Dr Amy Powell is an excellent doctor- very informative, very competent with wide range of help in all areas. Also, the REHAB center is very good and has a very good staff to help with exercises for your particular problem - have used the water therapy program as well as back and limb strength after operations or accidents. I have always had good help from that center.

January 05, 2012

I have already referred someone to Doctor Powell.
