Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Worst bedside manner; not thorough
Worst bedside manner; he treated my son and I with disrespect; rushed us out without providing treatment, knowledge, nor next steps. Not sure how this guy has a license

My husband and I drive an hour and a half to Charlotte to have our little girl seen and treated by Dr. Scannell. The amazing team, wonderful customer service, excellent bedside manners and highly skilled surgeon make the trip worth it. Our daughter is healing nicely and she is so happy. I did my research and spoke to many parents and kiddos that were seen and operated on by Dr. Scannell and everyone was so happy with their experience. He's the real deal. Kind, honest, respectful and he listens to his patients and their parents. We highly highly recommend Dr. Scannell.

My teenage son sees Dr. Scannell for scoliosis. He is extremely understanding, knowledgeable, professional and has never made us feel as if we were rushed during our appointments. He totally understood when my son shared that he didn’t want to have to wear a back brace during the day so a night time brace it is. I would ?? recommend Dr. Scannell.

I wouldn’t recommend Dr Scannell because I didn’t feel like I was a very important patient to him. I wouldn’t want any of my family or friends to feel this way.

If you are in need of a pediatric orthopedist, Dr. Scannell is who you want to see. Outstanding bedside manner, great with kids, talented surgeon and just an incredibly nice, kind person. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Dr. Scannell and OrthoCarolina.

Very nice, prepared for children. Asked of I had snacks or needed coloring supplies. Very upfront about the wait time because the doctor was behind but the wait wasn't bad. Everyone was helpful, polite, and knowledgeable.

Dr. Scannel did a wonderful job with our six year old daughter who had a humerus fracture this week. Dr. Scannel put us at ease during our stressful time, and provide us all the details of the procedure in the clearest possible and easily understandable way. Post surgery, Dr. Scannel was kind enough to come and meet me personally in the waiting lobby immediately after to provide updates on the surgery. That really meant a lot to me as an anxious father. I would highly recommend Dr. Scannel to anyone without a second thought. Thank you again.

Dr Scannell has been amazing with my daughter for the past two years and our journey with scoliosis. He takes his time to get to know his patient and build a rapport. He educates both the parent and the child in a way that makes sense for both. He never makes you feel like you are just an appointment slot in his day. He doesn’t rush his visit. He takes his time to listen to his patients wants and needs as it pertains to treatment. He’s a great doctor and an amazing man.
