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.

Best Orthopedic Doctor ever!
Dr Rainey is amazing, as well as his staff! I have had 5 surgeries with him and getting ready to have another one, all due to a fall down a staircase. He is attentive, he listens, he is informative of what he believes is going on and what needs to happen to repair it, I have ended up with a reverse shoulder replacement and a total knee replacement and his care of me as a patient exceeds anything I have ever experienced. He is also very kind as is is whole staff. I will definitely miss him whenever the day comes that he retires, He is the absolute best!

I have had several operations by Dr. Rainey, and he also treated my mother when she had a broken hip. Unfortunately, I believe the doctor is not as dedicated to each patient as much as he used to be. My last encounter with the doctor was a follow-up of surgery on a broken finger. I am definitely in the senior citizen-range and I believe he thought "good enough" was: the finger is unable to be straightened, slightly skewed to the side, stiff, and because I used to be a typist, a very big block to my going back to work since I am in severe financial difficulty. I would caution anyone regarding this doctor and staff who I used to believe in, but thinks that "good enough is an appropriate quality of service.

If you know of a Dr. Office that's less than a 2hr wait, where is it? My wife had surgery on both ankles, left foot 3 plates, 17 screws 2011. Removed all of it 2 yrs later. Right foot in 2017 1 plate, 7 screws. A week later, 2 screws backed out. Straight to the hospital, he fixed it that day. So if he's not there, he's across the road in surgery. One of the best Dr.'s I've met. & a 2 hr office wait, with the friendly, beautiful women that work there, makes it the best Dr. Office to be stuck in

I have a very competent ENT who practices primarily in Athens. My ENT in Athens recommended for Dr.R to evaluate a condition that I have on my feet, and already looked at by 2 podiatrists. My wife called to make an appointment. One was made a week forward of the call. The patient forms the receptionist assured would be mailed to our home in Winder - 6 days later they still were not received so the appointment was cancelled.The voice on the phone conveyed an unfriendly attitude from the 1st call

Where do I even start! Dr Rainey has done 2 full knee replacements on me and it's changed my life, my son races motocross and has had broken bones and when other Drs said he was going to need surgery Dr Rainey and his optimism was able to heal him correctly with only casts, he is going to be fixing my bunions and I am super excited about this, he is not only a great surgeon he is a great person and generally cares about helping people.

Wasn't told what diagnosis was by PA. On top of that after seeing another Dr. PA diagnosis was not right and was basically text book. Was given a steroid shot in a place that served no purpose. Could tell PA was not concerned with truly helping. Was told you only see Dr Rainey if you have surgery. Overall not a good experience.
