Patient Reviews
- “I had my left hip replaced in October 2012 by Dr. Ramsey. I was told of a different method for this operation from people at the rehab for the right hip replacement I had the previous year. That 2011 replacement was done from the posterior approach and entailed 5 days in the hospital, home care and 4 weeks of outpatient rehab. I met with Dr. Ramsey and he described the anterior method; overnight hospital stay, walk out of the hospital with just a cane, little or no home care, and 2 weeks to return to activities. I found this astonishing and hard to believe. I am happy to say that this replacement went exactly as promised. The difference in the two hip replacements were like night and day. All of the above plus a huge thing; setting my leg length to exactly match, and a small thing; taking a shower the next day instead of a week later. I have recommended Dr. Ramsey to several people and will continue to do so in the future.”– Jerry S.Treating Doctor: Peter Ramsey, M.D.Patient Rating:
- “Could not want better care thanks to Dr. Ramsey and staff thanks so much.”– Loretta S.Treating Doctor: Peter Ramsey, M.D.Patient Rating:
- “Shortly after my 64th birthday, I awoke one morning to find that I had developed RA. Having always had a very active lifestyle, I realized that was about to change. My GP got me through the next few months with various pain medications, however it became obvious that medication was not a solution to the problem. Work became more and more difficult and, as a lifelong scuba diver, I could tell that climbing dive boat ladders with a hundred pounds of gear would probably have to end. Another physician suggested I make an appointment with Dr. Ramsey and, as they say, the rest is history. Over a two-year period, he did total hip replacements on both hips. WOW! He gave me my life back. Whenever I meet someone with the same problem, I recommend they go see Dr. Ramsey.”– Pete M.Treating Doctor: Peter Ramsey, M.D.Patient Rating:
- “Dr. Mills and his staff were very kind and caring. He replaced discs in my neck and did an outstanding job. I would not hesitate to have him perform any type of procedures in the future. His bedside manner and all patient care on me was phenomenal. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. Thank you Dr. Mills and all of your staff.”– Tonja S.Treating Doctor: William L. Mills, M.D.Patient Rating:
- “I had been experiencing severe pain in my right heel. The pain was so bad that I was unable to walk in the mornings or after sitting for more than a half hour. I tried different shoes and insoles to no avail. Dr. Mills agreed to see me (his daughter and my daughter were taking gymnastics together). He asked very specific questions to determine the best treatment for my particular need. Dr. Mills was professional, compassionate and thorough. He really, truly cares about people. He treated me more like a friend than a patient. After his exam, he treated me for plantar fasciitis. I heeded his advice and bought good shoes and quality insoles. I haven't had the pain return. Thank you Dr. Mills and staff, my quality life is much better now. ”– Reginald A.Treating Doctor: William L. Mills, M.D.Patient Rating:
- “Dr. Tupis is a skilled professional who takes time to listen and explain things. He did a phenomenal job repairing my rotator cuff. Not only is he a great doctor but a wonderful human being, you can sense he cares every time you see him. I am very fortunate that I chose him.”– Alfred B.Treating Doctor: Todd M. Tupis, M.D., M.S.Patient Rating:
- “They were very courteous and professional. I was treated very well.”– John R.Treating Doctor: Todd M. Tupis, M.D., M.S.Patient Rating:
- “My operation for my left hip, performed by Dr. Ramsey, was truly amazing. My pain was managed, my surgery site was healed beautifully, and I regained full use of my left leg and hip in an unbelievable short time. My doctor was personable, caring and informative. I was treated like a friend in lieu of a patient. The supporting staff, often overlooked, was fantastic and friendly. I have recommended him to all my friends and relatives, and will continue to do so.”– Ruth W.Treating Doctor: Peter Ramsey, M.D.Patient Rating:
- “I broke my ankle on the same day my husband was seeing Dr. Mills and even though I did not have any insurance they said we will see you and work with you. Everyone has been wonderful and have let me make payments on my bill. We highly recommend the doctors and staff at Coastal Orthopedics. My husband had back surgery with Dr. Mills and is in less pain than he has been in 25 years. He was up walking in less pain the day after surgery and left the hospital that day.”– Elizabeth H.Treating Doctor: William L. Mills, M.D.Patient Rating:
- “Could not believe the level of comfort I had with the meds I was given after and during surgery. Also, amazed that I was out of the hospital in just 24 hours. Dr Tupis was great and all follow up was excellent, PT went well and was on my own in 7 weeks. Back to walking for exercise and playing golf.”– David S.Treating Doctor: Todd M.
