UNC OrthoNow

UNC OrthoNow is recognized for its knowledgeable and caring staff, particularly Dr. Kamath and PA Nicole Lane. Patients appreciate Dr. Kamath's thorough approach, especially for those with complex conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). He is noted for his careful consideration during surgeries, such as the bilateral MPFL reconstruction, where he pays close attention to detail, ensuring minimal scarring and stability for patients. His understanding of EDS and its implications in treatment options gives patients confidence in their care. PA Nicole Lane is also highly regarded for her empathetic and thoughtful approach. Her comprehensive exams and treatment plans make patients feel safe and understood. However, some feedback suggests that not all staff members are as knowledgeable about EDS, as seen with another PA who recommended steroid injections, which may not be suitable for EDS patients. Overall, UNC OrthoNow is seen as a reliable place for orthopedic care, with a strong emphasis on patient safety and thoroughness in treatment decisions. Despite some minor criticisms, the overall experience is positive, with recommendations for the practice and its attentive providers.
