Advanced Bone & Joint

While I think the doctors are wonderful, what is point in making an appointment? I have yet to go to the st peters office and be seen within 45min of the appt time. And what makes it even more frustrating is that they called me to move the appt up. So glad to have spent my day off rushing around to be early to an appt that they didn’t even have time for.

This practice makes false claims and the website is nothing but lies. They claim they care about making patients better and helping with their pain, but I was refused service because I have a lawyer working on a worker’s compensation case because my stupid company refuses to pay for something that happened on their time. How can a practice claim they care about helping others, when I’m in need of care and have been denied? As soon as the receptionist found out about the lawyer, she began her «sorry to waste your time, I’m hanging up on you speech.» They claim it is their policy not to accept anyone who has a lawyer… what a stupid policy. WELL HOW ABOUT THIS… WHY DON’T YOU ADOPT THE POLICY OF HELPING OTHERS NO MATTER WHAT BECAUSE THAT IS YOUR JOB AND WHAT YOUR WEBSITE PORTRAYS!!! This is an outrage! It is almost a form of discrimination. How will I get better if providers refuse me service? Don’t I have a right to be treated and obtain a lawyer to help fight to get payment for what isn’t my fault? I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO THIS PRACTICE AFTER MY RUDE, DENIAL EXPERIENCE.

Back pain? Ain’t nobody got time for that.
I grew up as a dancer which I enjoyed very much, but I should have known training at a studio that had concrete floors would someday come back to haunt me. I’ve been having sciatic nerve pain since college, and just recently it got bad enough that I decided to do something about it. Dr. Larkin was able to see me about 4 days after I called, and for that I’m pretty thankful.
The forms I had to fill out were painless, and the front desk staff was awesome. I waited maybe 30 minutes or so before I was taken back (which I expected), and was then given a hilarious pair of paper shorts to wear for my x-​ray. The x-​ray technician was such a cool, nice man! He was cracking jokes with me the whole time and that part only took about ten minutes. He brought me and my paper shorts back to the exam room where I waited to be seen.
Dr. Larkin was very friendly and thorough, and had me do a bunch of movements to see what was really going on. Turns out I’m a weirdo and one of my legs is longer than the other (actually my hips are just uneven), and that is what was making my back so messed up. He wrote me a prescription for physical therapy on my SI joint, and I’m really feeling as good as new.
This visit and process couldn’t have been more ideal. I hope I never have a reason to go back to Advanced Bone & Joint, but if I do, I know they’ll take care of it.

Thank you Dr. Meek for helping me regain physical mobility. You provided stellar professional service from beginning to end. You took time to listen and with your recommendations, I’m finally back to the life style that I had prior to October.

Great group of doctors! They don’t jump to surgery as first option. Professional as it gets with this group. Over 6 years and several injury from shoulders to legs I have had their help. Minimal time down and I feel stronger and no restrictions.
