Report
Premier Orthopaedics is run like a large factory whose major concern is making money. There is little to no interest in the patients who are treated like a herd of cattle. Plan on waiting for long periods of time for a scheduled appointment.

Today, I went for a follow up with Dr. Ruggerio after complaining of intense lower back pain. My appointment was scheduled for 2:30 PM and I was not seen by Dr. Ruggerio until about 3:45 PM. I sat in the waiting room for 45 minutes until I was called back with a nurse. 45 MINUTES! At 30 minutes, I asked the lady at the front desk if I was going to be called soon and she had said I was next. Unfortunately, that was not the case. 15 minutes went by and two more patients were taken back before I was eventually called.
It really felt that I was "just another patient" in that office. Dr. Ruggiero and the nurses were nice but compared to the time I waited to be seen, my appointment felt rushed. I work in health care and I completely understand what it may be like to have a schedule full of patients but to have patients waiting around for almost an hour is completely ridiculous. If you are considering coming here, expect a long wait.
