We took X-ray of my hip since that is where to main pain was. When it wasn't my hip but he figured it was my back causing the problem, he referred me to PT without suggesting anything to find the source of the pain, i.e., further X-rays.
11/19/20
Dr. gave suggestions to follow to help the small pain I was experiencing. He gave a recommendation for what helped others with the same problem.

09/30/20
The nurse & doctor was very helpful and good about explaining about my problem.
09/28/20
I don't believe the doctor adequately diagnosed my condition and addressed my complaint. The form I was given to fill out on arrival did not get turned in until after the visit so he had no history or list of symptons. Felt like he took the easy diagnosis to turn over the visit.
09/18/20
the first thing he told me was that he only sees patients for hip and knee replacements so I can't help you. when making the appointment I was not told this and would like a refund. dr spent little time with me and referred me to [...] after scary me to death saying it could be [...].
08/28/20
Dr. Freedhand has my full confidence & I have recommended him to several people with knee or hip problems. He's at the top of his game!

wonderful technicians, well trained.
08/05/20
Extremely efficient personnel gave me accurate and convenient assistance.
08/05/20
The first doctor was amazing as I mentioned before. Although Dr. Freehand was kind and professional, he was more of what I've grown accustom to as he was hurried. I guess their case load is heavy.
08/04/20
World class! *Dr. Freedhand is a UT-professor!! I am a [...] [...] - He solved a problem!
07/31/20
I very much appreciated Dr. Freedhand's willingness to describe the issues of my knee situation without seeming to be irritated or impatient because I wanted a clear explanation .

Very professional.
06/23/20
I felt safe.
06/23/20
Ability to show and discuss X-Ray in room was very helpful in explaining what he was seeing.
06/17/20
Showed haste to get done with my case. Did not explain my current condition and did a poor job explaining my future treatment options. After two questions about pain levels and current medications I was using, the doctor was DONE with me. Not impressed.
06/17/20
Doctor needs to ask patient if patient has any questions before the end of visit.

05/20/20
great visit.
05/16/20
Anyone who says they need hip replacement, I give them Dr. Freedhand's number.
05/16/20
IF you want an artificial joint he is probably okay. IF you want your knee rebuilt he is the next to last person you want doing it. I don't know how you people live with yourself. You deliver a vastly inferior product for an expensive price BECAUSE Big Pharma and the AMA force you in this direction and you "cave" rather than delivering a superior product to your patient. Then you sit in front of me and lie to me about not being scientifically proven and no studied to back it. YET, the multi-million dollar athletes go outside the U.S. and have it done at the time ([...] [...] procedure) complemented with stem cells.

I have recommended Dr. Freedhand to many people looking for an Orthopedist.
04/25/20
I felt EXTREMELY rushed during this visit. After he finished talking he got up to start walking out and NEVER asked me if I had a question. After that, I couldn't think fast enough to get them all out because that made me feel so RUSHED about such an important visit.
04/25/20
Freedhand didn't show me any compassion. He never asked me if I had any questions. Got up to walk out before he even gave me the opportunity.
