Orthopedists - Greer, SC

"I hardly ever take the time to give reviews, good or bad. But, this time, couldn't ignore doing so. I'd heard that Dr. Armocida was one of the BEST Orthopedic Surgeons around. So I was very hopeful for my (long overdue) full hip replacement. I'd been a passenger in a car accident nearly 20 years ago, but didn't realize the trauma that had happened to my leg, hip and back. But, it came to the surface, causing tremendous pain for the last 5 years, or so, and could hardly walk for the last 2. So, in January, I finally went to see Dr. Armocida. Dr. Armocida said I was a good candidate for anterior outpatient surgery (w/o cutting thru the muscles) at their PMC surgery center. A week and a half ago, I had surgery at 7am and was home by noon! I started feeling better the 1st day and each day thereafter. Of course, I started with a walker, but was fully comfortable and able to move to a cane by day 4. By day 6, I could easily walk w/o the cane around in the kitchen or bathroom. Now, by day 9, I can easily walk anywhere w/o the cane, even though my PT said I should still use it outside, as a precaution. I know I still have more time for a full recovery, but am amazed by how far I’ve come in such a short time. My original daily pain level for my hip was 8 out of 10, which was nearly unbearable. IT'S NOW ZERO! Bottom line, I just want to thank Dr. Armocida and his full team for the wonderful job they did. He's absolutely the BEST in my book! Also, I and my wife have commented that we've NEVER met a nicer more caring Doctor—EVER. He always takes all the time you need, to listen, show compassion, answer any and all questions, and send you confidently on your way—from EVERY visit. Personally, I have to give him the HIGHEST of all recommendations, in any and all reviews! My ONLY REGRET is I didn't know about, find and do this procedure w/Dr. Armocida 2+ years ago! "

"Dr. Leong is wonderful. He took the time to educate me first about my knee injury in 2016 and then about my hand issue in 2018. He treated my injuries without surgery. I definitely recommend him!"

"Referred to this doctor for my wife's multiple spinal concerns impacting her quality of life e.g. bowel dysfunction. We waited almost a month for a waste of time appointment. He was late and unprepared, as he admitted to not reading her chart. He heard her story, tested her reflexes, read her previous medical history, and dismissed us. He said he saw nothing of concern with her spine. He said the other spinal concern maybe impacting her GI, but it was outside his scope and need neuro. My wife expressed frustration with not being able to have a bowel movement for 5 weeks without laxatives and the doctor turned vicious and hateful. He said uncompassionately to her the source of all her problems is her eating disorder and offered no recommendations for help. He shrugged his shoulders at every question from my wife, mother-in-law, and I for assistance and said he doesn't know and left the room. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. How are people like this in the medical field?"
