I am a 70 year old woman who was in great health worked out 4 times a week with arthritic knees. It has been three years since my last cortisone shot. My left knee started acting up. I stopped working out and Called for an appointment and told I have to wait TWO MONTHS. Now my right knee and ankle is bothering me as well as my lower back. Blood pressure is up and gaining weight!  Thanks U of R orthopedics.

As far as I am concerned Dr. Hindman is the BEST Ophthalmologist the area. very professional and most important caring. I have been a patient of Dr. Hindman for more than ten years. On April 1 (2025) Dr. Hindman performed cornea transplant surgery with COMPLETE success.

2 from my family have gone to Dr. Smith for wisdom teeth and now my son had 2 baby teeth removed there. Dr Smith is professional, patient, and caring. The office is spotless and the staff are friendly and helpful. They were cool and knowledgeable of how to help patients with strong fears, sensory issues and who are prone to outbursts. Very pleased with the service!

I am sad and disguted to find out he is still active as a primary care provider. I was told he was leaving for other pursuits which is an out right lie. Shame on UofR for allowing this disgusting treatment of patients.

Dr. Shapiro needs to retire. I honestly felt like I was in an SNL skit. Office is dirty, equipment/methods horribly outdated .... examples: stuffed kleenex between my glasses and eyes - rather than using a patch - to test each eye reading the chart; put the mechanism with lenses on my face so tight, it hurt my nose and left it red for hours. The list goes on. He is extremely slow, repeats himself, forgets what I said two minutes prior, talks to himself ("There I go again ... forget to get new drops." - then takes 10 minutes ... read more

I have gone to Flaum for several years but yesterday was enough for me to ask for my records and I will not be returning there. I had a 12:45 appointment at the College Town branch. I alwys take a 12:45 because I have to be home by 2:30. Chelsea got me in on time and she was very, very pleasant; things went downhill from there. I sat there 20 minutes waiting for the girl to get me for my visual field test. I got one eye done with the test and she realizes she has programmed the wrong test! Sooooo we had to start over. ... read more

Once you are done with your visit, there is no way to communicate with the Doctor or PA or reception desk to follow-up. They do not answer the phone. There is no option on MyChart to email or follow-up. I understand all of this. It’s an urgent care facility not a Doctor’s office. . But I had an infection in my eye. The PA saw me & was going to send the prescription over to my pharmacy & send the summary of the visit to MyChart. And she did until she sent a prescription for a discontinued medication. When I went to pick it up... read more
