All I can say is excellent from entry to exit. Kind and effecient office staff. Kind, efficient and competent medical professionals with the procedure.
Dr. Ikard Jr. and the staff here are wonderful people. Kind and courteous, and always listen to your concerns. I will take my future injuries here above all others. Lol
Dr Clayter , is a wonderful Dr, best Pearson I have seen and the does great work , and the OUC physical therapy, group is wonderful also , John is great and the staff is very curtiuse , thanks Ouc Doctors and Physical Therpy
Dr. Scott and staff were very professional and had excellent bedside manor. They do an awesome job explaining to us the process and answering any questions we had.
Great doctors, great specialists, great nurses, great secretaries. A truly exceptional team, working together with great efficiency and consideration for the patient.
This was my first experience with Dr. Scott and his office and I was extremely pleased with the service I received. From check-in to check-out the entire staff was friendly and concerned about the patient.
Was disappointed with the waiting situation. I was there with my brother at the Northport location. The waiting room was so full my brother, who was on crutches from surgery and had a blood clot, had to stand in the hallway and wait for a place to sit causing horrible swelling. Unacceptable.
UOC has both great orthopedic physicians and ancillary staff! From the waiting room, to the X Ray techs, to check out, everyone was friendly and helpful!
My appointment was at 8:00 o’clock. At 9:00 o’clock I went to the front desk to inquire if I would be seeing the doctor soon. I was told the doctor didn’t come in until 9:00 o’clock and I was 4th in line to see him. Um..why schedule 8:00 o’clock appointments, if the doctor doesn’t come in until 9:00 o’clock?
The doctors a great! However, the front desk lady that sits to the left behind the two ladies in the immediate front at the Northport location is one of the RUDEST ladies I’ve ever encountered!! She makes this office look BAD!
Dr Callahan was great. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Dr. Callahan got me in and out and knew his stuff! Looking forward to working with them in the future.
Dr. Standerffer has been caring for my son and I for more than 10 years and every visit has been excellent. He is caring and patient and I’d recommend that anyone needing orthopedic care see him.
Dr. Atkins and the staff at UOC are first class. Friendly, efficient, compassionate and talented. I would definately recommend them for your orthopedic needs.
My therapy went well, but I felt as if I needed more time. This was not a work injury, I paid for therapy myself. When I requested more therapy from them I was met with a negative attitude and response.
I received great care from a professional and caring staff. I’m no longer in debilitating pain after surgery, and so very grateful to Dr. Atkins and his staff.
University Orthopaedic has been great to meet the needs of my husband and me this year. We have used the physicians offices, MRI, and the therapy staff and facilities. We highly recommend them to anyone needing Orthopaedic services.
Dr. Tosh Atkins is by far the Best Ortho Doctor…He knows his stuff. …He performed knee and shoulder surgery as of today I feel 120% better…If Dr. Atkins was near me right now…I’d give him a great big kiss….”Thank You and Kudos to a Job Well Done Dr Atkins”
I had a terrible experience here. They deleted my last review off of this page, because I was not at all satisfied with the “treatment” I received here. I was made fun of by the staff for wanting to put my broken tibia in a hard cast. When …
Excellent all the way around. Dr Thompson has operated on me 4 times. Each time my problem was corrected. Follow up visits were great. Very caring and helpful staff. I highly recommend University orthopedic clinic.
Dr. Ikard Jr and UOC are very caring and professional! I could not ask for a better team of medical professionals. Everyone that greeted me from my arrival to my leaving were helpful, kind and encouraging.
This place has it all together. The doctors and staff are comforted and friendly. I have used both the main office in the annex. My only gripe is that they cannot schedule an appointment six months in advance. Their computer program does not go that far in advance. They need to fix it.
Dr. Ikard, Sr did my knee replacement in 2004. He was wonderful and a very precious person. He is such a gentle speaking doctor. He later did carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand and put a cortisone shot in my left hand for carpal tunnel. …
That’s great if you’re well experienced and have a reason to come across somewhat arrogant (my uncle is an oncologist and he is a bit arrogant) however when you act like you’re better and in a hurry, have an attitude and say “I told her …
Dr.Scott and all the staff have been great at both of my appointments. I didn’t feel like I was being rushed out. All around good experience. Would definitely recommend to others.
Dr. Standefer is a wonderful doctor and has done an outstanding job on multiple injuries I acquired in a car accident. I would highly recommend him or any of his assistants to anyone with any bone or joint injuries. Thank you again Doctor for your superior work and wonderful attitude as well.
My daugther had an appointment to at 8:30 with Dr. Standefer for a cyst that has ruptured. It is painful & swollen! When she got there they took her copay then told her they couldn’t see her because her appointment was at 8:00. My daugther …
I had my knee surgery here several years ago and was very pleased. My ENTIRE family uses UOC when we need an orthopedic specialist. One family member in particular uses them for cortisone injections every few months. The same family …
DO NOT USE THIS CLINIC! Doctors may be good but the staff getting to them does not tell the truth and then cops attitude…I called a week before and specifically asked about them taking my insurance…they said yes the did…I …
Dr. Standefer is the best surgeon. He takes his time to explain things. I also appreciate how he explains his ” plan of care & course of actions”. Annex at Bryant Drive way too many chairs in such a small waiting room. Every time a …
I was extremely pleased with my visit with Dr. Atkins who is a very professional and friendly physician. He spent a very adequate amount of time with me and answered all of my questions expertly and with clarity. I would indeed recommend him to all of my family and friends.
I came to Dr. McKibbin for a second opinion regarding surgery for an ankle injury. I was pleasantly surprised. His office nurse was very kind, thorough and professional. Took her time taking careful notes and history. Dr. McKibbin was very …
Dr. Thompson is a very thoughtful physician. He answers questions patiently, explains medical issues in practical terms, and offers multiple treatment options. He definitely listens to his patients and allows them input as it relates to surgical procedures. I HIGHLY recommend him for any Orthopaedic issues under his practice.
The Doctors are the best. The staff and nurse’s are very friendly and helpful. I had knee surgery years ago and the doctor and nurse’s took excellent care of me. Would recommend to my family and friends. Thank you UOC
Dr.Ikard Sr. is the BEST! I’ve been under his care for a cyst on my foot. The care he gives, along with his bedside manners, are qualities any patient would dream of having. He always makes me feel as if I’m being taken care of by a family member or close friend. My experiences with him and the UOC were exceptional.
I had both knees worked on, separately. By Dr.Claytor. he is really good. He will do a great job, and you will get the proper pre and post op treatments, and meetings. You will be glad if you choose him. I had repair of the meniscus due to …
I have been going to UOC for over 10 years and just had a total knee replacement. I was back at work in 6 weeks due to their great Physical Therapy. Dr. Standeffer has always spent extra time explaining things to me and the staff is always friendly.
My family has used UOC for many years. From knee replacements, shoulder surgery, knee scopes etc., we have always been pleased with the caring staff and excellent doctors. We have a special affinity for Dr. Atkins as he literally put my brother back together after a horrific motorcyle accident.
Horrible. Made our appointment and gave insurance information in “advance”. They knew my son was in pain but would not see him without a referral from the university student center, even though we went to ER the night before. (But they did …
Everyone from the receptionist to the nurses, to the doctors are friendly knowledgeable and very professional. For joint pain and issues I would not go anywhere but to Dr. Atkins. I had a total knee replacement in my right knee over 20 …
Dr. Standeffer does a great job explaining situations and concerns. He is kind with helpful advice, especially regarding my health as an older patient and medicines. My shoulder surgery went very well. His encouraging personality helps me to try harder. When you are in pain that can be tough. Excellent doctor and staff.
The lady who conducted the x-ray study was so kind, gentle, and caring. Dr. Buckley is truly a God send. I was majorly impressed with his wealth of knowledge and his ability to articulate so plainly what was going on with my shoulder. I …
Amazing job. Not only is my affected area healing very well, they even took care to stitch my tattoo back together so there’s no damage. They have kept me informed every step of the way and I have never once been caught offguard with something. I couldn’t recommend them enough.
I waited over an hour past my appointment to see the doctor. He checked out my injuries and said he’d be right back to give me a boot and splint, but he never returned and I didn’t see him again. The nurse gave me the boot and assembled my …
Its comforting to find medical services that match or exceed one’s former services when one has moved to another state. I found the services at UOC in Tuscaloosa , to be wonderful. They are kind and patient. The staff and my new doctor have …
Dr. Standifer came highly recommended and he did not disappoint. He and is staff were courteous and very professional, always. We especially liked how he took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and its options before surgery, and to review the results after surgery. I cannot recommend him more highly.
I would have been a new patient except for the utter rudeness of the receptionist staff. The first young lady talked about me to her colleague as if I wasn’t standing there and literally tossed the clipboard on the counter without saying a …
Dr Atkins Jr. is great. Nice atmosphere. Wait time is very reasonable. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank you for taking good care of me. Their physical therapy staff is wonderful.

My son broke his hand and needed surgery. Dr. Claytor and his nurses were wonderful. Excellent bedside manner and helped this out of state mom feel better about surgery. …

Although being a previous patient here my wife was told she had to have a doctor’s referral to be seen again for a new injury which meant she had to wait to see a regular doctor so he could say she needs to see an orthopedic Dr asap. …
Please don’t send your kids here. The staff is rude and incompetent and now we are having to wait for her chart to be sent to a different doctor for a second option since she received no treatment from UOC.
I tore my ACL in June, so the UOC employees know me very well by this point. I have been very impressed with UOC and especially the physical therapy aspect. Everyone there from the front desk to the PTAs to the PTs is extremely nice and …
If possible; please speak with some of the doctors about beside manners. It made me seek out a different doctor at a different location. It was really disappointing. He was very dismissive. I could tell immediately he would not be concerned …

Staff is very rude. I’ve called 6 times to schedule an appointment. Female that answers the phone catches an attitude very quickly.
Every time I visit UOC I’m there 2 to 3 hours and thats ridiculous. Just for a shot. The doctors are good but the wait time is horrible
