Haven't had surgery yet, but my experience at the Downwood Circle location was great. The gentleman who assisted me at check-in greeted me upon arrival and took care of my needs with professionalism and patience. I paid the $350 self-pay rate which included x-rays of my knee. Having a relatively early appointment must've been a good call because I only waited 5-10 minutes to be called back. The gentleman who took me to my exam room and asked the initial questions and the lady who took my x-rays were also friendly yet professional. Most importantly, my experience with Dr. Royster was fantastic! He is extremely kind-hearted, knowledgeable, patient, and put me at ease. He didn't rush through my exam or discussion of next steps, and I truly felt that he listened to my concerns and wants to help get me on the right track. I plan to schedule total knee replacement as soon as I switch insurance providers. In the meantime, Dr. Royster demonstrated stretching exercises to help me cope and provided paper copies as backup. I highly recommend Dr. Royster, and I only hope my future experience at Peachtree Orthopedics is just as pleasant as this one!

I have been a patient at Peachtree Orthopedics for several years. Dr Pennington for shoulder is awesome. However, today I had an appointment because I have excruciating lower back pain. It was clear to all I was in distress. I waited over an hour for doctor and had all of 5 minutes face time with Dr Cassinelli. Prescribed steroids, Gabipentin and PT. Didn't even attempt to address the horrible pain I was in at the moment. I left the visit thinking I wasted my time except I got some kind of medication but not for pain I was in. It was a "big nothing burger" visit. I'm praying the meds will EVENTUALLY help the pain in the short term and long term. mic drop

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Thomas and his amazing surgical team. I interviewed three different orthopedist before making my decision about who was going to handle my double hip replacement surgery. When I met with Dr. Thomas, he immediately put me at ease. His Superpath procedure is hands-down the best way to have a hip replaced. I love his nurse, Sarah. She is supportive and easy to get a hold of. If I ever had any questions I just sent her an email and she would respond quickly. Dr. Thomas's PA is also excellent. She walked me through what to expect from the procedure, and answered all of my questions and spent plenty of time with me. I feel like they are the best surgical team in Atlanta. They never made me feel as though I was taking up too much of their time. I discussed with Dr. Thomas my concerns about being able to return to dancing after the surgery, and he said that he can set the prosthetic in my hip in such a way that I would be able to have better turnout and flexibility specifically for dance. He really listened to my concerns and treated me as an individual. The ONLY weakness in the entire organization is the front desk at the Marietta location. But everything else was fantastic. I have enjoyed this process as much as one can possibly enjoy having both hips replaced. To me, there is no other choice for hip replacement surgery than Dr. Anil Thomas MD. Within 10 days I was back at work and driving, even able to return to my Pilates class. Just amazing. Thank you so much for your excellence in what you do.
