I rated Orth NE a ten because I get the best consultation from the surgeon, PA, PT and nurses. They understood my situation and didn't take long to get me assigned to surgery on both occasions I love the positive feedback, instructions from all the videos, and follow-up. Thank you Orth NE for attending to my health needs. I surely will recommend this establishment to anyone that ask where did I have my hip surgery done. Excellent service and thank you all again!!!
