All good with this appointment.
Every question answered
Wonderful, wonderful wonderful
Very professional and thorough!
Dr. Woolwine answered my questions and I came away with a much better understanding of treatment options and pain management. It was a good visit.The PA was very nice and also answered questions, did a physical exam of my knees and gave me an injection in each knee. The injection in the left knee was uncomfortable but OK. The injection into the right knee was extremely painful. It felt like a huge bolus was pushed suddenly into a very small space. I hope there is a way to make it less painful next time I need an injection. I know an analgesic is part of the injection, but it clearly wasn't enough or didn't have enough time to work.
I have nothing but good things to say! I have recommmend a lot of people to Emory. Dr. Woolwine is truly remarkable. This is my only place I will go and I live 3 hours away

Dr. Woolwine has been amazing thru out my entire treatment. Always takes time to be present during my visits never rushed.
I am a very atypical patient and I was simply grateful that the surgeon was willing to see me. He is a compassionate man and assisted me with something that was not even on the list for which I'm very grateful. Just did not get much hope for the problem I'm having.
All good.
I just love my Emory family

Dr Woolwind was very knowledgeable, pleasant and consideratetook time to explain injury, treatment, procedures and prognosis. Could not be more pleased.
Dr. Woolwine was great! He listened to me, let me know what he thought was going on, and explained everything to me. He didn't laugh or roll his eyes when I said my goal was to play tennis again! I felt understood and respected. I appreciated that.
The reason I gave a good rating is because is because some of notes I read online was not discussed with me. For example, I don't remember discussing an alternative to surgery, and the notes said it was discussed. I have been told they tumor this to be removed by 2 doctors because of the size. The doctor did ask me several time did I have any questions.
Initial visit. More info to come on f/u appointment. Great job on getting x-rays done on the same day just before appointment with Woolwine.
Both the young resident and the doctor were competent and concerned. I was nervous initially but they put me at ease by being willing to listen to my complaints.
My sister and I feel so fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Woolwine
Very happy with the the care and attention shown.
I'm am very well pleased with all of the services that we received

This was my first visit to Dr. Woolwich. I was deeply impressed and comforted by his expertise and kindness. It is rare to find an orthopedic doctor who is both kind and an expert; it's usually one or the other. I am so glad I was referred to him.
All good
