Patient Reviews

  • “I had a total knee replacement. I have heath issues. The communication between dr. Ramsey and myself was terrific. He ordered all the necessary preop tests. The operation went well. And although I was a really great patient doing all the doctor required, it was a wonderful experience. I am looking forward to having Dr. Ramsey operate on my other knee. The follow up appointments were both educational (answering all my questions) and pleasant. I have referred several people to his office.”

  • “Extremely satisfied with the professionalism and attentive care that we both received from Dr Ramsey and Chris Kierney. We both had total hip replacements. I am  8 weeks from successful surgery and my husband is 3 weeks from successful surgery. We could not be more satisfied with our doctors, nurses, and hospital staff. Truly a great experience. Dr Ramsey's anterior approach to hip surgery is exceptional and we have recommended him to many. Quick recovery and no PT needed. We are very thankful we found Coastal Orthopedics and appreciate the efficient way they handle everything. We are grateful to Dr. Ramsey for allowing us to be pain free. Thank you.”

  • “Dr. Ramsey performed a total knee replacement on me. My knee is now feeling better than it was before the surgery and I still have a few months to go to see just how much better it will get. I am pleased with him and what he did for me.”

  • “I was referred to Coastal Orthopedics by a fellow doctor and could not be more happy with my decision. I was involved in an ATV accident and was transported to Grand Strand as a trauma patient. I suffered a concussion, a fractured rib, and a fractured scapula. Two weeks after my discharge from Grand Strand I was still in a great amount of pain, and that is when I decided to have a second opinion. My initial appointment was with Tasha Lee who did a phenomenal job, not only with her assessment, but took the time to understand my frustration and pain. After her assessment, she decided to order additional X-rays. It was those additional X-rays that Dr. Tupis  became involved and explained to me that I had a fractured rib & scapula, an important piece of information that Grand Strand MISSED. My follow-up appointment was with Dr. Tupis who again took the time and effort to evaluate and explain my X-rays, course of action, and follow-up care. Honestly, I usually do not care much for doctor visits, but my experience with Coastal Orthopedics has been phenomenal–not only Dr. Tupis and Tasha, but the X-ray techs, nurses, and other staff have been great.”

  • “Dr. Watson is absolutely one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of seeing!! She is very good at what she does and is very personable, listens to you as a patient, and works with you to figure out what is the best plan of action to take. The nurse and the rest of the staff at Coastal Orthopedics are awesome and do everything to help you through your medical problems!!!”

  • “I went to Dr. Mills for a second opinion after being in pain for months. After reviewing the initial MRI, he immediately sent me for a new one to reevaluate my condition after six months since the first MRI. After finding my condition had worsened he informed me that he would be able to perform a surgery that would improve my way of life. The surgery he was referring to was an ALIF surgery to correct my condition of three herniated disc and lack of Cartlidge between my vertebrae's which had become bone on bone.The surgery was performed with an incredible team of doctors and I am well on my way to a remarkable and speedy recovery. Within a week of your surgery I was able to walk 2 miles and have High hope's for reestablishing my active way of life. . .”

  • “After 10 plus years dealing with neck/shoulder pain...I just had Cervical fusion C6/C7 surgery with Dr. Mills and his team. I am happy to write this review 2 weeks later...I am feeling great! Dr. Mills and his staff are the BEST. Expect a no-nonsense straight to the point discussion, and quick easy process if you follow his program. While still a little stiff after 2 weeks, it's crazy how sometimes I forget that I just had a major surgery because I feel so good. Don't put off this surgery...it's not a big deal. You'll wonder why you didn't get it done sooner. I'm glad I did.”
