The doctor didn't even look at me or give a thorough examination of my knee injury. He claimed it was just bruising and didn't require any additional testing, against what the urgent care advised. He told me to come back in a week. For what, if it's just bruising. I went to another orthopedist the same day and they gave a thorough examination, rewrapped my leg and advised me to get an mri because they think it's a torn acl. Maybe he had an off day coming back from a holiday weekend. Regardless I won't be returning.

South Island orthopedics is the best location for any and all injuries. Dr. Freeman along with with the entire staff of South Island orthopedics are by far the most phenomenal, professional and caring staff I have ever encountered. As a professional athlete, I have been to doctors around the world and no one compares to the quality of care. Dr. Freeman has operated on both of my knees and I have returned to full competition with no limitations on my body.
Their office is clean, they are very efficient when you are in for a visit and they truly show you that they care about your success. This is the only doctor and location I recommend to the athletes I work with and train because I trust them, their work ethic & their decision making.

With the exception of one nurse and the billing lady everyone else is really nasty and unprofessional. Starting with the two uneducated receptionist that won't even answer a good morning yet talk over you. The doctor spent less than two minutes on my consultation, took a glimpse of my injury, ordered some tests without explaining or asking me- the patient anything, then walked out the room without saying goodbye, not to mention he didn't introduce himself or welcome a new patient in.
Very rude and obviously only cares about getting money. I'm unsure how he has good reviews. Perhaps his friends left the reviews for him. Will not be returning and would never recommend to anyone.

In 2002, I had a torn meniscus, and it was repaired by Dr. Eric Freeman. For 16 years, I was able to walk, without any hindrance or pain. Then, on March 18, 2018, I had another, meniscial tear. So, I drove over 300 miles to visit, Dr Eric Freeman. And once again, he did an exceptional job in repairing my knee. Dr. Freeman is the only orthopedic surgeon that I will allow to operate on my knee. Thank you Dr. Eric Freeman
