I would definitely recommend my provider to anyone with a similar injury to mine. It's unfortunate that my final review was only over the phone due to social distancing protocol during the Covid19 pandemic.

I love the office. From the front office, support staff, techs, nurses, docs; everyone was incredible. I've never had an experience like this. Hopefully i don't have to come back (who wants to see a doctor?) but if I need an orthopedic surgeon this is where I will go.

ORTHOPAEDICS CENTER
Dr. English was great, when she received the MRI results for my neck and they showed a nodule on my thyroid (in addition to the pinched nerve she suspected), she sent in the orders for me to have an ultrasound and then called me the following week to see if I needed anything else. It was so nice to talk to someone, because I ended up needing a biopsy and hadn't even talked to a Dr. at that point. My primary care provider that ordered the biopsy never even called to see how I was or if I needed anything else. Dr. English has made me feel like a person that she cared about, not just another patient.

Dr. English cares about her patients so much. Instead of saying "well we can't figure out what's wrong so you'll have to learn to deal with the pain" she says "we will find out what's going on with other tests, work together as a team because no one deserves to live in pain". That's a great doctor!
