Doctor Ellerbusch is seeing my daughter who has a complete forearm fracture. He has been amazingly thorough and extremely kind. He has gone above and beyond at each visit which means more than he knows.
Dr. Krauss was exceptionally rude and condescending to my 17 year old daughter. I let her go by herself because I’m trying to give her more freedom to build independence, so unfortunately I was not present when he said the things he did to …
Easy check in – short wait times – adjust to patients needs and provides information requested. Even when you’re having a bad day, they are so encouraging that things are going great and they see this all the time. So if you think OMG – it’s not. It’s just part of the process.
Dr Heck is a wonderful surgeon but his support staff is lacking. I had issues from the beginning getting an epidural scheduled. Took over a month. No one ever returns phone calls. Had issues with my insurance. Was told someone would look …

We have gone to south lake for 20+ years. I started with Dr. Bryant. RIP he was so caring and a phenomenal dr. We then moved to Dr. Blum. We have 5 kids playing sports and I’m graceful (not so much). Have seen Dr Blum and Dr. Ellerbush, …
Have nothing but good things to say to this doctor and the staff at the office and the Outpatient facility where I had my total knee replacement. They are very professional and care for their patients. Thank you.
The technician and doctor I was supposed to see at Southlake Orthopedics refused to wear a mask when asked despite Jefferson County being at a high-risk level of 68 today and despite my explaining that I was personally at an increased risk for illness.
Dr. Craig is wonderful, he listens to what I have to tell him and does everything he can to help me. The whole staff at Southlake are very nice and professional.

Dr. Tolbert put me at ease immediately. He explained my diagnosis completely and told me the options that. would be available. He is very knowledgeable. I felt that I was lucky to have him as my doctor.
We’ve had an excellent experience with this office. They were able to work my son in for a last minute appointment when he’d fallen and broken his arm while at school, on a Friday. The physicians and staff have been very nice and helpful, definitely recommend this office!
Dr. Blum was nothing short of amazing. He really took great care of me. The surgery performed was absolutely amazing! My recovery has been going great!
Dr. Booker performed a complete knee replacement in June of 2021. I currently have no pain in my knee and have a full range of bending. I now walk a half mile several times a week with no soreness or stiffness. …
Dr. Kirchner takes his time and wants to get to the bottom of the issue. Good manner as well as a concerned Doctor. I like him and have been happy with his recommendations.
Dr. Kirschner and his staff are very attentive. He takes the time to explain everything and makes sure you understand. I am very confident in his skills and I know my recovery will go well under his and his staffs’ care.
I have seen Dr. Talbert for years. He has performed three back surgeries and one neck surgery for me and he and his staff have always been great. I hope i never have another orthopedic surgery, but if i do i will use Dr. Talbert or another doctor at Southlake.
Absolutely wonderful experience! I had doctors that did not want to touch a torn rotator cuff due to severity! Dr Booker did an excellent job and after five weeks, I’m much better! I would highly recommend Dr Booker!
Going in to have you spine worked on is scary any way you look at it. Dr. Heck and team were very good to me, explained everything to me and the Cervical Disk Replacement surgery could not have been better for me and I am back to my normal daily life. Thank you to Dr. Heck and team!!!!
Dr. Craigs office is always clean. The staff are extremely nice and professional. They get you in and seen about quickly and courteous!!! Dr. Craig himself is amazing! I love him and so does my hip!!!
Well the doctor was nice and professional but if it wasn’t for such a long wait I would have given 5 stars. My appt was at 2:30 I didn’t get called to the back until 3:30. Doc came in to see me about 3:45. Unfortunately, I’m still waiting in the back for my prescription and it’s almost 4:30.
I cried in the exam room the entire visit because I’m upset about my situation and he was wonderful. I feel less anxious about my progress and upcoming surgery now.
Dr. Heck listen to my complaints, took his time with me and explained everything clearly to me. They are amazing to work with and do not treat you as if you are crazy because you are in pain. I appreciate the fact that everyone was super …
Dr. Talbert is personable and friendly and I have confidence in his medical advice and the treatments he recommends for my knee. Southlake Ortho schedules me quickly and I’ve never had any problems or negative experiences with them.

Didn’t feel particularly sympathetic or personable and initial session was very short…I could go on, but this was my first impression, we’ll see what happens during follow up in a few weeks.
Although I was a new patient, I was X-rayed, examined, received an injection and got a brace in 30 minutes! Quick, but I was comfortable that my questions were answered.
Dr. Ellerbusch performed a nerve study on my husband and his experience was great. Dr. Ellerbusch explained to him everything he was doing and what things meant.
Horrible!! Get one star because saw me next day. A bunch a scans and tests but no answers then send me home with 3 pain pills and medicine for arthritis. What a joke! Dr Grantier and this place did nothing for me. Would not recommend. I …

I love Southlake Ortho group as a whole. Dr Booker performed my total knee. And now 😊 I’m back for a new body part repair. He has excellent bedside manners and will explain everything to you in the simplest terms. Plus, he is very easy on the EYES🥰🥰😂😂😂 I have several doctors there that I have trusted with my family. …
I’m unsure how much the doctor plays in his administration team, but I cannot give this doctor anything better than 2 stars. The administration team is less than bad, it’s terrible. I don’t think I have ever consistently had such a bad …
I absolutely love Dr. Talbert and everyone I have dealt with at Southlake. He did a knee replacement on me 3 weeks ago, and I already feel so much better. I’ve never had to wait longer than 15-20 minutes and the check-in process is flawless. I highly recommend Southlake and Dr. Talbert.

Dr. Blum was very knowledgeable however he lacked empathy or caring. He was dry and to the point without any regards to my feelings or pain. I was not impressed.
I am very pleased with Dr. Heck. I recommend him highly. He is very nice and he has a great bedside manner. So far everything he has done has gone well with my surgery and recovery. He takes time with his patients and really shows that he cares about you.
Doctor Talbert and his staff are great. I am usually in and out quickly, even when having X-rays. They show genuine concern and listen to you. I appreciate their desire to help me with my hip pain issues. I feel my hip replacement surgery went exceptionally well and would recommend him to anyone.

Southlake Orthopaedics staff greet everyone with a smile. I have been a patient at this practice for many years and never had a bad experience. Today I was seen by Dr. Krauss.

Dr Talbert is very compassionate and knowledgeable toward his patients needs. He listens to you and offers his sound advice on your medical condition and make suggestion on how to fix your issue.
Always on time…love the support and attention to detail needed when providing the upmost care for my neck. I definitely would recommend Dr. Craig to anyone and everyone and gladly shout it from the rooftops.
Seems very nice and knowledgeable. Rating a 4 due to the fact that my appointment was 9:15 and I saw him at 11:00. I observed a sign in their lobby stating. If you are 15 minutes or more late, you’d need to reschedule. I found this to be hypocritical that my time is not valued in the same manner.
Do I ice/heat my knee? Do I raise it? Do I walk it off? Any ‘guesses’ on what the problem is? Conversation would have been nice. Maybe therapist will offer advice.
Dr. Craig is right on top of his recommendations. He shows you the problem area(s) on the MRI or X-ray, explains it, and makes a recommendation to resolve the issue. He is very patient oriented.
Dr.Talbert is the only doctor to give me a proper diagnosis of what’s wrong with my spine. He did not rush through my appointment as if he was in a hurry.he took the time to actually help! I’ve been to 6 other doctors over the last year, …
The staff is great. Kristal was the main therapist I had and she was great. I had stomach issues the first 3 weeks after my knee replacement and she was very patient with me.
There are not enough adjectives to describe my treatment from Dr. Craig. His bedside manner is so stellar that we even spoke about it. His knowledge of my problem is second to none and he took the time to explain everything very clearly to me.
Another follow up with Dr. Booker and staff. Thursdays the practices busiest day and again they came through! I was called back and taken care of quickly.
I have been a patient since long ago when it was Bryant and Blum. On rare …

My physician Dr. Craig was able to offer me an immediate option in the office. …
Love Dr Ellerbusch he really cares and knows your case before he comes in. Has a plan in mind, just wants to see what you have to tell him and he really lessens.
Dr Talbert had a very pleasant demeanor, very upfront in saying he did not feel that I needed his services and made a referral to a different physician.
I was placed in a room and had to wait for over an hour before seeing the Dr. I thought that was a bit too long but when the Dr. came in I was very pleased with his manner.
Everyone at Southlake Orthopedic is very friendly, encouraging, and competent. Dr Blum is extremely knowledgeable and also has great bedside manner! It was such a relief to see a kind, competent doctor.

Less pain, more living-Ha! I went to see Dr Kim yesterday, Dec 29. He said he would send an rx of tramodol to my pharmacy, as he said he doesn’t prescribe ‘narcotics’. Today, Friday, Dec 30, still no prescription sent in. Cant get in …

Everyone in the office was very nice. I was seen by the doctor in a
timely manner. He discussed my issue and gave me his recommendation. This was my first visit with this doctor. He was very professional in his line of work.
Dr. Booker was kind enough to see me the same day a doctor referred me. He was honest about my options and didn’t try to influence my decision on how I wanted to proceed with treatment. Now I am 4 weeks post op and doing great. He and his staff are caring and very professional. Would definitely use him again if necessary.
My wrist has been hurting for months with no relief. I saw two doctors previously that was a waste of time and money. Dr. Smith and his staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Smith knew exactly what was wrong, explained the …
The staff was pleasant and got me back into a room very quickly. The doctor was prompt and professional. He got me in and out in a timely manner, which was great because I am on call for my job. Fabulous visit.

Doctor Ellerbusch is seeing my daughter who has a complete forearm fracture. He has been amazingly thorough and extremely kind. He has gone above and beyond at each visit which means more than he knows.

Dr Craig always listens & he explains so well that need to be done. I so appreciate it

Didn’t feel particularly sympathetic or personable and initial session was very short…I could go on, but this was my first impression, we’ll see what happens during follow up in a few weeks.
Although I was a new patient, I was X-rayed, examined, received an injection and got a brace in 30 minutes! Quick, but I was comfortable that my questions were answered.
Dr. Ellerbusch performed a nerve study on my husband and his experience was great. Dr. Ellerbusch explained to him everything he was doing and what things meant.

Dr. Talbert was thorough and quite professional. The staff were friendly and helpful. The practice was very efficient (no wait time!).
Seems very nice and knowledgeable. Rating a 4 due to the fact that my appointment was 9:15 and I saw him at 11:00. I observed a sign in their lobby stating. If you are 15 minutes or more late, you’d need to reschedule. I found this to be hypocritical that my time is not valued in the same manner.
Dr. Booker is an excellent physician who has cared for my knees for many years now. I completely trust his judgment in diagnosis and treatment.
Do I ice/heat my knee? Do I raise it? Do I walk it off? Any ‘guesses’ on what the problem is? Conversation would have been nice. Maybe therapist will offer advice.
DO NOT SCHEDULE YOUR MRI HERE…. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU!
Today as we were on the way to our 11:30 appt we received a call from the office …
