I cannot rate this office high enough. I am always treated with respect, and he shows genuine interest in how things are going for me. Dr. De'Andino might not baby his patients, but he is an expert and gets straight to the heart of the matter. He's kind and very knowledgeable. I also don't sit and wait forever to see him. On top of that his office staff, and his nurse Robin (sorry if I spelled that wrong) in particular, go above and beyond in fighting with my insurance on my behalf. She is quick, friendly, and has the patients beat interest at heart. I'm glad I found them first when I came to Aiken.

As a patient for a little over a year, I have finally found my doctor. Dr Carter is absolutely amazing, He has the best bed side manor I have ever experienced and funny at times. He has always fully evaluated my situation personally, and treated me accordingly to my needs. I have had 1 surgery with him and yes I was completely terrified as most would be but he took the time to set me at ease both in the office and hospital.

So far one surgery down and one to go for the moment. I am completely confident in his methods and his drive to ensure that his patients are the best that they can be. Thank you doctor Carter for going through this journey with me and my family

If I could give a zero. I would have. I went for my first visit.in haste they took my co-pay. I explained my intense back pain. and told him I had a recent MRI.that wasn't with me. I was told he didn't know me well enough to prescribe pain medication.but he would schedule x-rays or an MRI. I told him I was almost relying on muscle relaxers.to which he said I should STOP doing.

I was told to come back in a week.bring another co-pay and he would see. I went home called my pharmacy. and was told I has a prescription from THIS office for the SAME muscle relaxer I was told to slow down with. DID'NT know me WELL enough for pain medication. BUT fine prescribing the SAME muscle relaxer I needed to stop with. DEFINITION of a QUACK.frame that co-pay. THE'LL be NO more.

My family has been coming here for over 30 years. We have seen and have had surgery performed by at least 4 of the doctors here. The staff is very friendly and try to put their patients at ease while here. They have two offices in Aiken and both are very sensitive to the patients needs and concerns. The doctors rotate where they are each day. One day at the main office another day at the Southside office.

As a local rehab professional who sees quite a few patients from this practice both surgical and no surgical, I HIGHLY recommend Dr Shannon and Dr Massie for ANY of your general ortho needs! Their patient outcomes are above any other orthos in the area. Dr Carter is also very good specifically with backs and necks. Most importantly, Massie and Shannon are quick to realize when something is out of their scope and refer to a specialist which, in my eyes, is the measure of a great doctor. They want what's best for the patient even if that means they lose revenue.

As a cash pay I can say this experience has been a $1800 nightmare and counting. I went in in extreme pain. I explained what had been going on for 6 months with my hip. $600 later and I have a beautiful MRI of my back still in agonizing pain and now surprise I need another MRI this one on the area that I said was hurting. No worries cause I got plenty of money to be taken random pictures.

Now I sit her 4 days later and low an behold I can't get an injection in my hip because they can't figure out how much to charge me! I kid you not. and people wonder why there healthcare is so expensive. As far as listening to me I give 1 as far as understanding my my limited funds 1 As for helping me with my pain absolutely -5

During the last several year Dr. Holford has been my main Go-to guy for excellent care. He has guided me in keeping my mobility in spite of mother nature. I would like to especially acknowledge Christie Williams, his main nurse and coordinator. She is extremely efficient, replies almost instantaneously to my messages and is such a pleasure to work with. They are both super teammates!

I was treated with predigest and disrespect by the scheduler and also the Office Manager. These two women need to be replaced. They have no right to be in these positions. I was unfairly treated and my health and injuries were not address by the Dr. that I was referred to by the Hospital. These women did not follow the health guidelines but made their own personal decision to weather I received the medical treatment I needed.

If you love your family don't take them in this office where we are treated unfairly. I'm being treated by Champion Orthopedic where I was met with respect and caring staff. Not like discrimination and disrespect of the office manager and her staff @CMI orthopedics

I'd like to start off by saying that I am never the one to write a review, but always read the reviews others have on an establishment. With that said, this is only of our personal experience. November 2018 my husband had fractured his foot. After going to DrMolnar we were transferred to Dr Holford-Fast forward through blood work, bone density test, and a Cat Scan.no answers.

Today he went to be seen and the podiatrist saw a "line" on the X-ray- no explanation- a line. My husband had went to his appointment alone & as a wife that is concerned, I called to follow up on the appointment. I spoke to Jack, the most hostile, uneducated, medical personnel I believe they have employed there. BEYOND UNPROFESSIONAL. I could type a book, but this is only to educate people to really consider their doctors before deciding on their best fit.

I have been told numerous times that this facility is the worst in the area. With that said, we have been informed we can transfer our medical records to a podiatrist that came highly recommended. I hope none of you experience this and DO YOUR RESEARCH. Shoutout to Sandra, the switchboard lady at CMI, she is a true class act for customer service.

Dr. Holford is the worst, least compassionate orthopedist I have ever been to. After so many office visits and images, he told me "I don't understand why you are in so much pain, " and didn't bother trying to figure it out. Maybe he's too old & out of touch, or he truly doesn't care. I went to another doctor and had an answer and (successful) treatment plan in one visit. I will say I previously saw Dr. Massie who was OK. He at least appeared to care.

I have not had a good experience so far. I have come a long way with this Doctor but things are slipping. Getting in contact with his nurse is getting harder and harder. I was told that using the portal was the best way to contact the nurse and that appears not to be true. Starting to think I should have done more research on the office and office staff.

After making a post about the problem I have had, the response from friends and family was shocking. Out of all 40 posts I only heard one thing good. I hope his office staff and nurse gets things under control. On a side note I do not have a problem with the doctor it is mostly the staff. Don't think it is just the staff at the main office. The imaging center has two ladies that are just straight up rude. Obviously this is all just my wonderful opinion.
