Patients praise

  • providers are often described as knowledgeable, kind, and attentive
  • many patients report successful treatment outcomes and pain relief
  • some patients highlight professional and clear communication from specific doctors
  • staff noted as courteous by many individual provider reviewers

Common complaints

  • difficulties with appointment scheduling and referrals
  • lack of communication and poor follow-up from office staff
  • concerns regarding impersonal care or perceived gaslighting
  • frustration with call centers rather than direct office communication

"Dr. Feeney was a lifesaver for me. After too many doctors and too many years of suffering, he came up with a solution. Now, instead of suffering constantly in pain, I am relatively pain-free most days."

WebMD Care (Review for Dr. Richard Feeney)

"After calling the office to request a response, I had a telehealth appointment in which Dr. Nichols said LabCorp had not sent the results and that she would request them. I was told to call back if I had not heard anything within two weeks. Since November 4th, I have called the office six times and have not received a single callback."

LocalityBiz (Review for Core Physicians)

"Dr. Bernard was amazing! Best ortho experience we ever had! Fred who roomed us was also the best! This was one of the best medical appointments we have ever had!"
