Best Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon South Bend Near Me

Dan Sachman: Someone needs to pick up the phone there ..... Been calling for week and a half now ! Don't bother leaving your # for a callback either , did that five times and nothing

isaac parker: I have nothing bad to say about this facility there are only great things that I can think of that happened while I was at this facility every step of the way everyone was nice and kind you're in your appointments on time to check in people are so nice and helpful I really appreciate all the people that work there and the after they put forth into making their patients feel like they care

David Nagy: Good location.

Melissa Reed: Seek a second opinion. For two years, they treated a knee symptom without actually working to identify the problem. After one of their secretaries, literally gave me a diagnosis of the need for a knee replacement (kind of a problem since she isn’t the Dr. and probably didn’t even have any medical training), I sought a second opinion. Turned out my problems were related to my hips. If I could give them zero stars, I would.

Laura Hanson: The staff is very comforting and professional.

Peter Kapelke: Great experience with knee replacement. Professional and efficient. All instructions and expectations provided. Most importantly a very successful outcome thank you!

Michael Dukes: Friendly staff, wait time was a little long though.

Jim Mazurkiewicz: I could fill 3 pages with how great everyone at the Charmicheal office is!! From the check-in staff who are super polite and can answer any questions you might have then onto the doctors and there staff.I have yet to meet a single unpleasant nurse or check out person in the 13 years I have been treated there. Even during the remodeling everyone had a smile and greeted you like family! They all ask how you are doing and they seem to care if you aren't doing better.The 8 difference doctors have all taken great care of me and show compassion and concern while treating your injury.Finally the Physical Therapy department to me is staffed by Angels with healing hands! They have worked miracles on me after all 11 of my surgeries and the entire staff could not be nicer!The South Bend SBO office is the greatest and only place for me!

Jia Pei: SBO staff are friendly and helpful, they did great job on my visit

Josh Brody: Constant runaround with scheduling to approval of insurance. Aside from that, accepting a patient based on how the injury happened is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard and if their doctors didn't get into medicine to help people They certainly are not a doctor i want to trust with my health. Choosing to accept a patient based on if they get paid up front or not is atrocious and in my opinion immoral. They will not receive any further business from me

Jay Buchtel: They have some really caring Doctors. Their staff how ever leaves a lot to be desired. When you have to talk to office managers to get appointments when Dr wants, them, post surgery is the same problem, you've got real problems. This makes me sad, because M. Yeargler has gone out of his way to care for us

Mike Overstreet: I had total hip replacement surgery on 11/21/22 for an issue that started 50 years ago (literally). The surgeon was Dr Cien, and everything he told us in the pre-surgery appointments is what happened - I had the surgery on a Monday morning and walked out of the surgery center (with the aid of a walker) on Monday evening.Dr Cien and the nurses were very explicit with their instructions about what I needed to do to make a speedy recovery. I did what they said, especially regarding the medication to reduce pain (I had no pain AT ALL) and the physical therapy to accelerate my recovery.Specifically regarding the PT, Alyssa and Brandon were simply magnificent - they pushed when they knew I was ready to progress, and were essential to my speedy recovery.Long story short, I was back riding my exercise back 2 weeks after surgery and played tennis 6 weeks after surgery (not very well, but still). That to me is nothing short of miraculous. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful the entire SBO team was, from the beginning of this process at the end of the September, through the surgery and then the physical therapy that concluded at the end of December.I'm a very blessed person, and can't thank the SBO team enough for their professionalism and the magnificent job they did.

Sharon Patrick: He told me it was all in my back and it is in my hip when I bend over you can push on it and it really hurts

Jeff Beyer: Overall did a professional job. Was very attentive. And very knowledgeable. Of course you pay the high price for professional.

Lucy Trujillo: Dr fuller is excellent doctor he explained every detail that he will be doing for my up coming procedure.

rebecca rodgers: Dr. Eash is a great orthopedic doctor. The office staff was caring and helpful.

Pamela Dorgelo: Horrible, horrible experience. M Yergler is the cockiest Dr I have ever met. He did rotator cuff surgery on me, which was not successful. He refused to face that fact. It wasn’t his fault, the blame was always on someone else. I was told my shoulder just had to “fire up” (is this really a medical term?)All I ever heard from him at my appointments was how wonderful he was.Never once was I asked how I was doing. A year after my original surgery, I had another one at the Mayo Clinic, which was successfulI received a nerve block prior to Yergler’s surgery, which, almost 2 years later, has left me with permanent nerve damage to my thumb. He wasn’t responsible for that either. “That wasn’t me, that was the fault of the anesthesiologist.” Way to throw your coworker under the bus. Zero stars, if I could

Chris Medich: Wonderful place that has been taken care of me for a very long time. I've had numerous surgeries with different surgeons there and the nursing staff and doctors are very good at informing you of everything and have wonderful bedside manner

Gary Miller: Dr. Warrender was an extremely professional, courteous and friendly person. He was a pleasure to talk to. He explained my issue and prescribed treatment in layman’s terms. Experienced improvement within a couple of days.

Peggy Schadler: I was really nervous but all the nurses, doctors and staff were super reassuring and caring! They explained every step and made sure I was comfortable. My knee replacement went like clockwork and recovery was a breeze! The physical therapy staff are exceptional! Because of them, after only 2.5 weeks I'm already able to walk only using a cane for distances! Kudos to Dr. Yergler and the SBO staff!

lisa sisk: Very friendly, explained things in a way I could understand.

Eileen Forrest: As always, Dr Clarke is thorough, explains everything. Great doctor.

Tomme Owens: My experience has been very good. I've had 3 different surgeries by Dr. Clarke. He is very knowledgeable and caring.

David Masterson: Been waiting over two weeks for them to get approval from insurance company. Called insurance company and office hasn't even contacted them. Dr didn't spend more than 2 minutes in the room. When I called to see what was taking so long the people were rude.

ben tackett: Not the best bedside manner but he is an excellent doctor nonetheless. Check his credentials. He's been caring for my trigger thumb and has avoided unnecessary surgery up until now. Unfortunately I'll need to have it done but I trust he'll do a fine job. I'll update my results 👍 ( my thumb 🙂)

Rachel Ward: Not a very informative or helpful doctor. He really doesn't seem to care. I know you can't expect them to care about every patient but I've never had a specialist with such an apathetic demeanor. I have to leave work to come to these appointments and don't even get 15 minutes of discussion or an explanation I can understand. Very quick to just walk out and let a nurse deal with you.

Van: Dr. Clarke is an AMAZING Hand surgeon! He repaired my son's crucial injuries from stab wounds that my mentally ill brother caused. Dr. Clarke also repaired my mother's butchered hand surgery from a previous surgeon.Dr. Clarke is kind, soft-spoken, & has excellent beside manner. He explains everything well to the patient & takes time to explain it. He may come across off-standish but he is just reserved. I would have not asked for a better hand surgeon for HE has a gifted hands when it comes to hand surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Sylvan Clarke. He saved my son's hands. Forever grateful...

Karen Horvath: He is by far the best orthopedic surgeon around.

Mike Walsh: DR Mitros is retiring December 31st. My heartfelt best to Steve and Janet. They have given so much to this Community and myself. 28 years ago Dr. Mitros replaced my right hip. 4 years ago he replaced my left knee. No problems with either and Monday, November 19th at 1:00 he will replace my left hip. Enjoy your retirement as much as the pain free life you gave to me Steve and Janet!Michael Walsh

Paola E.J.: Dr. Mitros gave me hope 33 yrs ago. He was young, knowledgeable and compassionate. He treated my child's dislocated hip, I was even younger and didn't speak much English yet. My husband was attending Notre Dame University and we were barely surviving on our combined income. Not only Dr. Mitros put us at ease with his demeanor, at the end of the treatment he, and his wife, decided to wipe out our enormous bill as a good luck gesture. I'll be forever endebted to this doctor, who completely changed my views on human decency. Thank you dr. Mitros for your immense kindness. Paola Eagles (nicole's mom!)

elinor kreske: An awsome surgeon. Have had 1 hip and 1 total knee replacement. Bedside manners are extraordinary. Takes time with his patients.

Vicki Mohajeri: Dr. Mitros replaced my right knee 13 yrs ago. He took such good care of me. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed orthopedic care.

Tracy Heflin: He is an awesome thorough doctor!!!

Scott Clark: Takes the time you need and cares about your out come.

Erich Crump: Well first of all Ann at the desk made me feel welcome and was too kind, even though it is my birthday she was unaware and treated me as though I were family. Second, Dr. Saffel and her assistant were so warm and treated me with the best bed side manor you don't see often. Dr. Saffel explained everything to me so even I could understand and did what we thought was the best treatment for me at the time. It was an extraordinary meeting and I hope the therapy works. I have a followup in 3 weeks and look forward to good news by then. Thank you for the extra care Dr. Saffel and staff. Erich Crump

Ashley: My son and I have been coming regularly for the past few months due to a sports related concussion. I have hadany experiences with doctors in and out of office and Mrs. Saffel is by far the most caring one we have come across. I have read the other reviews on here and ask that one please take into consideration the fact that doctors have emergencies from time to time... Also please know that the care and dedication which goes into each patient is catered to each persons specific need(s). An appointment is a block of time and if several appointments are scheduled for that day one patient might come in with a strange set of factors which may contribute to a delay in the other appointments as a kind of domino effect... The nurses here are very understanding and are as timely as possible with each client. In the several months we have been coming we have only had a long wait once and we're very understanding of that... This is the best place in the area to come to.

Meaghan Wallace: my son's school note stated the wrong side his injury was on twice, after I called and asked it to be corrected, twice. Phone room woman was rude and hung up on me while transferring me. When we went in (scheduled appt), waited for an hour to see the dr and then he didn't show us the xray pictures and spent maybe 10 min with us. Not happy, going to SBO.

Corrina Milito: Exceptional care, professional staff, incredibly knowledgeable team. Dr. Messmer and team cared for me through a fracture last winter and continue to manage my injuries and challenges while respecting my fitness goals. I couldn’t ask for a better practice.

Martina Rudasics: Husband had severe situation with diabetes and one week old broken tibia and fibia. Care from entire team and Dr Mamzack was always compassionate honest and genuinely caring. Thank you!

Lorraine Preston: After seeing other doctors, I was highly impressed with Dr. Ratigan's explanation of my conditions. I had with me my list of questions but never had to refer to them due to the detailed information he provided. I'm thankful I was referred to him and made the effort to travel far to see him.

Taylor Coquillard: Dr. Ratigan was top-notch. Had worked with Dr. Balint previously so this was my first experience with Ratigan, but both Doctors had very infectious attitudes and radiated positivity during the diagnosis of the initial injury, layout of the surgical procedure and the road to recovery. Would 10/10 recommend Dr. Ratigan. Straight-shooter!

Marleen Walaitis: Kind, explains everything!

Sean Blieden: Highly recommend Dr. Ratigan and SBO!!

Mary Grenier: Recently I returned to SBO for what I thought might be a broken clavicle. I called for an appointment with Dr Ratigan but was told that clavicle breaks are referred to another doctor. I’d had Dr Ratigan for surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and asked if I could please be referred to him. I’m grateful that I was able to have him evaluate the break and recommend treatment. Dr Ratigan is personable, professional and has a great sense of humor, everything you’d want in a surgeon.

Crystal has been wonderful during all my visits and I could not be more satisfied with Dr. Akree and his very professional staff. I highly recommend Allied Bone and Joint to anyone considering having a surgery of this type.

Rob H: Dr. Akre was very professional and took time to explain and answer my questions. The only issues I had were not with him. It took me almost a month out to get seen for a workers comp issue. Also my last follow-up appointment was cancelled by his office and rescheduled, however, several days later I received a text confirming my original appointment was still on. I showed up on the original scheduled appointment and they told me to return the next day. Overall it was a good experience with him, I do recommend him.
