Summit Spine & Joint Centers's Online Review Report Card

Great place have been helping me for years

I scheduled an appointment with them. they told me at the time of scheduling that they couldn't prescribe pain meds because of the medication I'm already on. i told them I didn't want pain meds I needed an MRI to find out how bad the damage to my spine was and figure out where to go from there. After the intake nurse spoke with me another nurse came in and asked me if I was there for injections or pain meds because they couldn't see me for pain because of my current meds. I told her neither that I just want an MRI and then go from there. Dr. Hamilton came in asked me about what was going on with my back. As I was going over my injuries and symptoms he asked again about injections to which I told him that I don't want to do injections as I've had them before in another location of my back and it offered no pain relief,only to leave huge knots in my back that took weeks to recover from ,I let him know I didn't appreciate his nurse asking me about pain meds when I've already made it crystal clear to the nurse that that's not why I'm here.when making the appointment. I just want the MRI, find out what the damage is, then figure out what the options are and if im eligible for stem cells to which he replied that he wasn't going to order tests for the sake of ordering tests. Then said he couldn't help me. to which I replied I can give you the doctor's names and you can verify I've had 2 mri's and epidurals on my lower back and its not ordering them for the sake of ordering them but to figure out what other damge has occurred since my last mri over 14 years ago . It seems like this isn't a legitimate spine doctor just a place to get injections and get people hooked on pain meds.

I just wanna say as a patient. I’m fully respect as a person. They understand your needs they stop they listen. They are very nice. Very polite. It’s got a very good atmosphere. I have nothing negative to say everything is positive. I give them a 5 star rating.

I really enjoy and fully respected as a patient. They understand what you’re saying and they’ll do anything they can to help you. They are the most friendliest nurses doctors. It’s got a great atmosphere and they are so polite. It makes you feel good and they help you for your needs.

I see Dr. Birladeanu (Dr. B ) at Summit Spine and Joint Centers in the Winder office. He is great! I feel that he really listens and doesn't try to rush me. He has given me 2 injection procedures about a year apart. They gave me a lot of relief. They lasted longer than expected. I was pleased and will continue to use Dr.B in the future!

Very professional staff

I really liked my doctor. That wasn’t the problem. I was to have a follow up appointment and was to start PT. They scheduled me at a different clinic in a different town but never told me that when they scheduled it. I waited two weeks for someone from a PT clinic to call me but got no call. I called the doctors office and they said they sent a referral to a clinic for me to contact them which I went ahead and did. That clinic had no referral for me. I gave up.

I have just started but my Doctor and the staff were very nice to me and seem to actually care about helping me. I would recommend them to get help for pain. Vicki Sheets

I've had great experiences each time I have been seem. On injection days the wait can be long depending on appointment time. The staff has been great and answered all questions and listened to my concerns.

Summit Spine has been a very big help and relief from pain. Thanks tremendously.
