Southeastern Orthopedic Center

I had my first experience here today. Horrible! My child broke his arm Friday night. we had to Wait until Monday morning at 830 to call since we were referred here by the emergency room. I called at 8 with no answer. I called at 8 30 and was sent to the switch board after a few minutes where I sat on hold. She sent me back to the appointment center and told me to leave a message and they would get right back to me. I did. They finally did 45 min later. I was told the doctor I was referred to wouldn’t be in until Wed OR Thursday. (What you don’t know). I explained that the e.r. told me to get him in as soon as possible to get his arm set and cast. She found an appointment at 5 for him. We got there at 430 and of course weren’t put in a room until 5:30 (half hour past our scheduled time) we sat in that room until 6:30 before we saw the doctor. He came in to tell me that we had to set up an appointment for wed or Thursday to set it. We sat there for another 20 minutes before the lady came in to tell me they might call Tomorrow (tues.) After 330 or wed. Morning with a time to come back and set it and cast it. Over 2 hours to tell me they would call me 2 to 3 days from now!!! 8 year old sitting there for over 2 hours with a bent (literally) broken arm and I get told they’ll call me! I drove across town in a tropical storm with an 8 year old to wait over 2 hours to be sent home again thru the same tropical storm. To wait or a phone call. What the HELL. I didn’t even need to bring the kid, they didn’t check hi m at all just looked all his xrays. They could b have done that without me even being there and called me to set up all to appointment. Worst experience in DOCTORS office I have ever had. Oh and my AUTISTIC son is still wondering why he is sitting here with a broken arm. The only explanation I could give was «because it’s savannah son». SAD
