Testimonials

Terri

"My office visit a great experience. From the time that I arrived and the time that I left, it was flawless . The staff were so kind and helpful and the doctor was amazing. He explained everything to me very thoroughly. While some doctors just go through the regular routine, Dr. Wazen took his time and explained everything very thoroughly so that I understood it. I will continue to use the Kent Island office in the future if I should need an orthopedic doctor. I highly recommend Bay Area Orthopedics on Kent Island."

Paul Cain

"From my phone call asking to see the Dr. the woman on the phone was great. Then the office personnel was fantastic. And the Dr, came it looked at my toe, said we can clean this up, back in less than a minute with what he needed, cleaned it up and explained the healing and gone. My kind of appointment. My wife is going to call his office for an appt. Highly recommend!"

Mike Johnson

"I am very happy with the treatment I have received at the Centers for Advanced Orthopedics, Dr. Wazen and his team were personable, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend Dr. Wazen to anyone that needed orthopedic surgery. Sierra was especially helpful helpful in the scheduling and administrative process prior to my surgery."

Monica Wheeler

"All of the staff is wonderful! Caring and constructive with my recovery. Very helpful with all of my concerns. Ms. Pam, front desk, is very thoughtful and organized with the scheduling and billing. I would recommend anyone that needs help to go to them."

Josie Simons

"Everyone was very nice including the Dr. but the exam seemed short and really a waste of time. My BMI wasn't were it needed to be for anesthesia. I don't agree with that as I have surgery before with a higher BMI. I feel this policy is discriminatory, as heavy people have a right to live pain free. If I'm willing to take the risk than the Dr certainly should be also. The visit was very disappointing."

Valerie Phillips

"Thanks to the team of therapist at CAO Kent Island I have successfully completed my 2 month journey at restoring my hand to my new normal. They are a team with a great attitude and truly care about your success in gaining better movement and strength through proper physical therapy. Thanks again!"

Jason Yiannakis

"I felt from the moment the doctor walked in the room that he was doubting my pain, issue, and diagnosis. He started the conversation saying he does not prescribe habit forming pain medication. I had not asked for any medication. I take ibuprofen and Tylenol. When I told him I just wanted my neck fixed, my arm to stop going numb, my fingers to stop tingling constantly, and to be able to sleep. He said surgery was the absolute last thing he would consider. Mind you.... My mri shows a dis bulging, pushing on the cord, and a nerve. I have had a disc replacement previously that absolutely fixed the left side. Instead of fixing my neck "physical therapy" was ordered. (Not going to make a disc bulge go away) When that does not work injections in my neck was the second step. My feelings are the doctor wants to drag this out to get as much money as possible out of me or insurance, before actually fixing the issue. I'm switching to a different orthopedic/neurology practice, that does not treat you like you are seeking, and wants to help from the patient, not string them along"

Julie Martin

"This practice has changed their policy to collect against your deductible first, even if you have an insurance policy outlining that your responsibility at time of visit is your copay. Be prepared to pay high fees just to speak with the doctor, no procedures."
