Core Orthopedics and Sports Medicine

"I contacted Core Orthopedics Therapy for physical therapy and asked for a cost estimate before starting treatment. The front desk staff and Angeline the PT reviewed my doctor's notes and told me the visit would be "a hundred-something dollars" billed to insurance, with me responsible for 20%. Based on that, I agreed to proceed. Instead, they billed my insurance $360, one code for every 15 min spent there, leaving me with a much higher out-of-pocket cost. When I called billing, Veronica said I must have misunderstood and claimed they don't give estimates, refused to check with the staff who gave me the quote, and told me to contact my insurance. I was also warned the balance could be sent to collections. This felt like a bait-and-switch, and the customer service was very disappointing. I won't be returning and recommend getting everything in writing before starting treatment."

"Dr Drake and his team are fantastic! I had both right and left shoulders operated on with tremendous success. Right 11/24 Left 4/25. Dr Drake works with my physical therapist to ensure I am meeting his protocols. I am very pleased with the response and the pain management post op. Stephen, Dr Drake's PA is always avaible for calls. I highly recommend Core Orthopedics and Dr Drake and his team."

"Visiting from Florida, my husband was a former patient 10 years ago. He fell and needed to be checked out because of recent knee replacement . Dr Murray was the best!! Took lots of time answering all our questions the staff was great getting us in. Thank you!!!!!"

"The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. My therapist was Megan Sands, and I thought she did an excellent job. She would check in to make sure it wasn't too much of a strain or uncomfortable. When I had questions, Megan would answer thoroughly and would make sure that her answer was what I was looking for and that there wasn't any confusion. Whenever an assistant helped me they were attentive and answered any questions I had. I couldn't walk normal for about three months and within 2-3 weeks Megan and the rest of the staff had already got me mostly back to normal. All in all I was very satisfied with my time at core orthopedics physical therapy"

"I have been going to Core Ortho for years. They are a fantastic team. Dr. Drake and Metz have both done procedures on my hands and shoulders. I trust them very much and will continue to refer them to others."

"The therapist team at Core was fantastic. I had hip replacement surgery in November 2024 and I couldn't be happier with my recovery. Alex was my main therapist from Nov '24 to Jan '25. He was great from the physical therapy to answering all my questions. He assigned me an at home practice which I continue to do 3 to 4 times a week. Thank you for everything Alex. Thank you to Megan, Shannon, Eric and all the assistant therapists and staff for your assitance in my rehab. I highly recommend Core."

"Love this new table! Great upgrade to Core Orthopedics I had Eric as my PT, he was great! #satisfied #recovered"

"Visiting this practice was the best thing that could have happened to me when I was in debilitating pain. All thanks to Dr. Drake and the physical therapy team specifically Eric who did my micro needling session. I am feeling so much better now and pretty much back to normal. Dr. Drake is an angel"
