Patient Reviews

  • “I was experiencing severe pain in my hands with significant swelling and having extreme difficulty performing my job as a chemotherapy infusion nurse. I called your office for an appointment and was given one for 6 days later. I thought that was great! Then the person I spoke with informed me about your Ortho Clinic offered  from 5-7pm Monday through Thursday. I went to the clinic that day and was seen by a provider and given a script for some steroids to help reduce the inflammation. I was impressed and pleased with Dr. Gayton and the treatment I received at my 1st appointment. I appreciated that he treated me with respect as a longtime medical professional-as a nurse for the last 41 years. That meant a lot to me.  My surgical procedure was conducted very efficiently with all parties involved being helpful and caring professionals. I'm still being followed by Dr. Gayton and receiving some hand therapy at Coastal Rehab.  So far I'm happy to say that my experience with Coastal Orthopedics has been great and I have shared it with some friends and acquaintances and recommend your practice to them. Thank you for all you do.”

  • “I had a shoulder problem that needed professional help. My family doctor arranged my appointment with Coastal Orthopedics because I wanted a location close to home. I was surprised at the number of doctors at Coastal Orthopedics but the staff has it all very well organized and I didn't have a very long wait before I was seen by Dr. Gayton. Dr. Gayton did a great job of diagnosing my problem and prescribed physical therapy which, I'm pleased to say, worked great, no surgery needed. I'm thankful for that.   I would highly recommend Coastal Orthopedics and Dr. Gayton. Coastal Orthopedics has a specialist to fix your specific ailment.”

  • “I had my left hip replaced and the whole process and recovery went great. I was on the golf course again 6 weeks after my surgery and now my hip feels as well as it ever has. The whole team at Coastal Orthopedics, from the nurses, Chris the PA, and Dr. Ramsey were great. I know later this year I will need my right hip done, but after the experience with my left one, I am very confident and optimistic of getting the second one day and feeling young again. Thanks to all.”

  • “Dr. Ramsey is the most professional, compassionate surgeon I have ever met. My hip replacement went off without a hitch and I am doing wonderful 3 days following my surgery. l would recommend Dr. Ramsey to everyone I know who needs a joint replacement.”

  • “I first saw Dr. Ramsey shortly after his arrival in Coastal Orthopedics for hip pain. I had been having an increasingly difficult time walking, and doing daily activities. Dr. Ramsey found arthritis in my right hip and about 5 and a half years ago he performed a total hip replacement.  Two years ago my left knee starting giving me issues, and Dr. Ramsey ended up doing a total knee replacement. I returned to work and my daily activities with tremendous success. One year ago my right knee was replaced, and again I have returned to work, and all activities. I am playing golf again, able to mow the yard and am enjoying daily activity pain free.  I have worked in the medical field for 46 years and can say with certainty that Dr. Ramsey and all of the Coastal Orthopedics physicians are the best orthopedic physicians I have seen – as a patient and professionally.  I cannot thank Dr. Ramsey enough for how he has help me with my arthritic issues. I would not be able to function very well without his intervention. I also thank the staff at Coastal Orthopedics. They have always treated me with respect, and over the years friendships have been made. I would not trust my orthopedic issues with any other group of providers.”
