Patient Reviews

  • “When I first went to see Dr. Mills, I was in severe pain (right leg and hip) and simple walking was very difficult. Having had back surgery in Nashville six years previoously, I knew this was likely to have the same outcome. Timing could't have been worse. My youngest son was graduating from college, we had out of town guests coming in and a celebration party planned. Additionally, we had a dream family cruise planned since the year before to Europe to celebrate this as well as my upcoming retirement two months later. I basically was begging Dr. Mills to help me get thru this exciting time in my family's life. He gave me medication that temporarily relieved my pain completely. I felt like a new woman; the graduation, party & cruise was wonderful. But, as expected, when this medication wore off the pain was back with a vengeance! I went back to Dr. Mills and we discussed my options. The decision was to have an ALIF fusion of L4 & L5. The staff handled all the necessary paperwork including pre-op testing, insurance approval and my follow up appointments. Everyone in this practice was wonderful, helpful and very patient. Angela, Dr. Mills nurse was very helpful from my first visit thru the entire process. I am now almost six weeks out from the surgery and walking 1.5 to 2 miles a day pain free. Many thanks to this entire group and especially Dr. Mills for giving me my quality of life back. It is noteworthy to say, we only moved here a little over a year ago and had no experience with doctors here. I struggled with the decision to go back to Nashville to my previous doctor for the surgery. I did some research and I can say, with no regrets, the decision to have Dr. Mills do my fusion was an excellent one for me. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone in need.”

  • “I had a massive rotator cuff tear of the right shoulder. After consulting other medical professionals I was told that I would need a shoulder replacement and no other repair was possible. After being examined and discussing my injury with Dr. Tupis, he felt confident that he could repair my shoulder without a replacement. The surgery was successful and four months later my shoulder feels fantastic. I would highly recommend Dr. Tupis to anyone.”

  • “I have had back pain for so long, that I don't really remember not hurting. Doctor Mills, the staff at Coastal Orthopedics, and the staff at CMC did great. Doctor Mills is an Excellent surgeon. Just did my disc replacement on August 9th, and I haven't felt this good in twenty-five years. Thank you so much!”

  • “Dr. Ramsey is a professional and expert in his field of the highest order. The program at Coastal Orthopedics addresses the patient's needs from a holistic point of view which is refreshing. By that I mean the entire health of the patient is attended, not just the one joint being treated. I would highly recommend Coastal Orthopedics for surgical hip replacement as one of the best in the country. I felt my health and my needs were a top priority to Coastal Orthopedics and CMC every step of the way. The follow-up is great, and everyone involved with the program responds to each patient query or need as though it were their own family. I would very highly recommend Coastal Orthopedics and CMC to anyone seeking orthopedic surgery or care. Though local, they are employing health protocols and precautions which well exceed what you would expect from much larger facilities. I am very satisfied with my results.”

  • “Everything was extremely well organized. Class was very helpful in explaining procedures and what to expect. Hospital staff was amazing. Everyone was caring and friendly. Couldn't believe it - but even the food was really good. Appreciated the fact that anxiety level was greatly reduced mainly due to the attitude of the all of the staff. Would recommend this group of professionals to anyone needing orthopedic care.”
