Report
Absolutely didn't mind using this business. And then my Dr. left. I thought since they were a large clinic they would refer or assign us to another doctor. But sadly this was not the case. I was told that since I no longer have a doctor there I am no longer a patient. And the other doctor that are there don't have room for my doctors patients. So pretty much, TB&J fired all of Dr. Cunningham's patients and left us without a Dr. Hopefully I will NEVER have to use them again.

It's an amazing facility. And the staff is respectful of you needs. Dr Slater is amazing. I saw him 6 years ago for s knee and hip replacement and he did an excellent job. Both are doing very well. When my other knee went out I had go back to him and did so and I wasn't disappointed. He and his nurse were very kind and helpful. His nurse even walked me out to my ride because I was a little unsteady. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my orthopedic needs.
