Everything was good. Thank you for being so aware of the "virus'.

Quick in and out service. Elbows feeling better already

Waiting at the entrance were personel to question if you have had contact with anyone with flu like symptoms including yourself.Your temperature taken.You are ushered into the reception area where you are promptly checked in and seen by your provider.

I was great, I had no problem, there was no one that was rude. The doctor was really nice, and he explained everything in a better way. Really nice people.

Very professional. Doctor informative and compassionate.

Sarah Is connected to give help to patients; realistic and reassuring.

Everyone was very efficient - probably the shortest wait time I’ve ever had in a medical office.

The office was very good

The nurse went above and beyond after the doctor visit. She pushed the wheelchair and helped me get into the car. Thank you!

Very professional staff, PA Drew, was very helpful in explaining my diagnosis, he was very helpful in telling me what to expect.

Very good exam. Thank you! Some good ideas.

The doctor was great. He knows his stuff and was very helpful. I would recommend this place to others. I did to a coworker already

Your staff is always friendly and efficient. Love Dr. Bates....

Short wait to be seen.

Very nice

!!!!!

Nice visit, got shots, still hear the rubbing and grinding but no swelling.

Quick check in as always. Everyone is very nice and helpful.

The daunting experience of having 2 knee replacements has been made so beneficial and professional by your system. From the start, one year ago, to now, I have been cared for, supported and felt like I was part of your medical family. I am grateful for the expertise you have provided and the ability to regain physical functions that I thought were gone forever. Thank You!

excellent, sensitive cordial empathetic as always competent

great

Every thing seamed to be well organized and flowed well.

In the numerous years I have been with ya all, I have NEVER had a bad experience at any office. Keep up the good work

Very attentive and made my visit calm

All the service was awsome !

Entire appointment went very well from sign in to xrays to discussion with Dr. Bates. Then was shown xrays and went over some does and don't with the Dr and checkout and rescheduling. All very smooth. Thanks

Was seen on time. Very professional staff. Steve Huber was his usual efficient and caring self.

I had a 10:30 appt. I was there 15 min early . I did not see the doctor until 11:40. This was on Monday.

As always FANTASTIC! I would not go to any other office or hospital in the area. It has to be Carteret because they are very caring and make us feel like patients that are in need of help and not patients just to be processed like a meat factory.

The staff and Medical personnel at Carolina Center for Surgery are the most caring and professional people I have been associated with. Thank you CCS.

Was great!

There is no one else I would consider going to when it comes to orthopedics. Robert Coles has it all. His office staff is lovely to work with as well.

efficient and professional staff and doctors.

The office staff was very open & kind. I was able to get in on a very timely manor. Dr. Steve Huber provided care that helped & encouraged me for a special trip we will be taking. I appreciated being seen so quickly.

I am so glad/happy to have Carolinas Center for Surgery. I have been treated so good by all Staff members. Thank You for your service.

Everyone from Becky, register, to Lauren and Jason, commented physical therapist, were on point and provided excellent continued progress by working seamlessly.

Nice office. People care.

The staff up front and in the back where the doctors are were extremely kind, helpful, courteous, and very welcoming. They made you feel very comfortable.

Always a great experience with Sarah Bedard. She is very thorough, listens carefully, asks thoughtful questions and I always leave well satisfied after seeing her!

Sara was great - very thorough; explained everything ; had x-rays taken and reviewed with me; and answered all my questions. She is knowledgeable and caring! Started P.T. And feel like my leg is already strengthening. Thanks.

This was my second visit in several years. I have never seen a better team of medical professionals. The entire staff functions as one with true professionalism, care and efficiency. If a patient leaves that facility with questions or concerns remaining, he/she was not listening.. Thanks for another great experience. Jim Riemer Colonel, USMC(Ret)

Dr. Bates is always great. I should have come weeks ago. He diagnosed my hip problem & gave me a shot for bursitis. It already feels better. I have been suffering for over a month.

to me it's more than just a doctor's office people there treat you like family

Great, as always.

Very professional and satisfied my concerns about my knee injury

Not sure why I am getting email addressed to Kenya. Please confirm you when you have made correction so I know my confidential information is not being shared. Thanks!

Scheduling was at my convenience. Check-in quick, appointment was on time, the staff cheerful and professional, and Dr. Huber was great (as always).

As usual appt was on time and very satisfying.

The staff has always been very welcoming and supportive. The X-ray technician was good natured and talked about how wonderful it was to work there. My overall experience has been wonderful and I appreciate the kindness from all of the staff. Dr. Bates was my surgeon and was warm and receptive to questions. I did not have an appointment with "Dr" Steve that day but he greeted me and asked how I was.....It helps make a person feel they matter which is an excellent quality in a doctor's office. Thank you!!!

You are timely, pay attention to me and meet my needs. I highly recommend your office to everyone.

Your office is so organized! I arrived and after checkin, I was taken back to X-ray. Then taken to my room and filled out some papers. As soon as I was done, Dr. Bates came in and examined my knee. He is so friendly and made the visit very pleasant. Thanks for a great visit, see you for my follow-up.

Thorough, detailed analysis of my situation with specific, helpful strategies given.

Everyone was knowledgeable, courteous, explained everything well and was on time. Great visit, will be back next week.

Steve Huber is a great asset . He really cares about patients. Excellent always !

Very punctual and professional. Nice that the people I dealt with had a

I had my follow up visit with Dr. Guirgues after a series of lumbar injections. Dr Guirgues is honest, straight forward and doesn't "sugar coat it". I have shown significant improvement under his care, and consider myself very fortunate to have had access to Dr Guirgues and his team. I still have a long way to go, but thankfully, I am no longer where I was a few months ago.

Sarah is a great provider

I have had several out patient procedures performed at this location. Dr. Bates and Steven Huber are both professional but extremely nice to me. I trust them both. I will be having hip surgery this summer via Dr. Bates

Everything was great, service great really like my doctors

as always good and rapid service

I could not have found more caring and helpful people! Thanks to all, you are wonderful !!!!!

Great appointment! On time No pain very kind physician!!

Drew and Dr Guirges is wonderful highly recommend if u need spine surgery

Great.

I am extremely happy with my Doctor and his Staff. I was seen extremely fast and treated very well. Thank you for being there for me. Donnie Taylor

Staff is always Pleasant and helpful and they always greet you with a smile. They noticed that I need a new picture of myself because I had lost so much weight and so they took a new picture. The nurses and x-ray technician did a great job as always. And of course Steve was as supportive and encouraging as he always is not to mention being a good listener. I really I love coming to my visits to this office. I feel safe and secure and I know I get the best care possible. And I am saying promptly and I know that if I really needed to talk with one of my doctors I would be able to. I know the effort would be made and that makes a great deal of difference to me.

Professional, patient, informative staff.

Dr Steven was very nice and caring and as always helps

All went great-thanks!

Best experience..quick and efficient..friendly folks and absolutely marvelous Steve Huber, my doc....they know what they are doing there and not just guessing!!

I didn’t have wait long Doctor Bates saw me right away and discussed everything I needed to know In my eyes he and Dr Huber are the greatest wouldn’t go anywhere else

There was very little wait time before being called to see the doctor. Once in the back I had paperwork to fill out then the Doctor came in. The exam was very thorough and to go further I have to go for an MRI. Everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and the care for me.

Great group

Informed on my condition and offered suggesion or me to consider.

Your entire staff worked me in when a painful knee turned from annoying to being unable to walk. I was cared for beautifully and within 24 hours I was pain free and walking again.

it's best. Impressed with Sarah very knowlegeable helpful, and able to explain condition with appropriate detail.

Shot did not help knee. Will be back for another.

Great experience and would recommend them for their help.

Your employs were very helpful and pleasant.

Sarah was caring and extremely knowledgeable.

Very polite and professional people Dr Bates is Nurses and Doctor Bates himself was awesome recommend this place to everybody

Thank you for giving me an appointment so quickly. Appreciate your followup

Every thing

Very professional, courteous, and friendly. Couldn’t ask for better treatment.

You guys are great!

Very professional staf

Everything was great, but I was at Carolina's Center for Surgery for over 2 1/2 hrs. That's my only negative opinion I have. The doc. was super & everything else.

Sarah is always wonderful. She's compassionate, intelligent and answers all your questions.

Every one was great and did a great job

Always professional, kind and efficient.

Love the staff and Dr. Bates,awesome person

Always understanding and compassionate. Very respectful.

Doctors are outstanding the front desk has it together and are in top of things . You all keep doing what your doing . Your doing it well.

It was the best experience I have had since I moved to NC. All the staff were personable and efficient. Dr Bates was great and the whole visit was wonderful. Thanks to all! Regards, John Maxson

Everything was good. Good appointment and schedule for surgery.

As usual, a wonderful visit. Easy check in and minimal wait time. Dr. Bates was informative and answered all of our questions...

Great practice, doctors and staff.

Excellent service, timely and professional !

Everything went great....... The changes to the phone system are great.....

I didn’t have to wait hardly anytime to be seen by the Dr He was very quick to let me know what the MRI showed and to let me know what had to be done.

Too much redundancy in the forms and too much waiting time.

I was treated with respect and dignity. All aspects of the treatment were explained so that I could understand. I feel that I can trust the staff and I am glad I was treated by all of you. Thank you so much for taking away a lot of the fear through understanding. Awesome Staff.

Outstanding patient service and quality care.

Nursing staff and doctor were professional.

I have always been pleased with the entire staff and Doctors. Dr. Bates and Steven Huber have always treated me as a friend not a patient....Steven Huber is exceptional

Given the nature of my issue (staph infection coupled with multiple joint replacements) I am very interested in staying on top of all of that in the most preventative, proactive and progressive method possible (labs, MRIs, xrays, etc.). I appreciate having the patient portal for somewhat direct comms, etc.

Very professional and efficient in all phases of experience. All personnel very polite and engaged in an effective team process. Impressed by CC4S handling of a non VA community care program referral process that is literally in the early stages of it’s infancy. Duty RN’s follow up to ensure efficacy of a confusing VA mandated pharmacy protocol handled same day—-after 1600. Bravo! Results: So far, without medication due to VA’s process, pain is reduced by at least 1/4 and full range of motion experienced within 24 hours of procedure. 5 out of 5 stars so far. Thank you.

It was a very nice visit, x-rays ( were good ), talk with the doctor, all going well. See you in six months, thank you. Gene

Everyone was welcoming. Seems everything runs efficiently.

That was a record breaking appointment! We we're back in our car and driving down the road and it was only 15 minutes since my scheduled appointment time. Very impressed!!!! We are blessed to have had such good doctor's AND staff at CC4 Surgery. Thank ya'll for all that you do!

What a pleasant experience! Was called back right away, immediately had X-rays completed, was seen by PA Huber before I even flipped through one magazine. As usual, he was professionable, personable, and thorough. Couldn't ask for a better encounter.

I came in to see Dr .Bates , but was seen by his PA Steven Huber . I explained my pain and trouble with my left hip and knees. He x rayed all of the problem areas and then diag nosed it . he gave me two shots to help with the pain . I am pleased to say It is so much better . I know I will at some point have to have hip replacement he said ,but this gave me immidiate relief. thank goodness !! Marsha

The visit was good and efficient service. Dr Bates was quick to see what to do about my arm.

Thank you for being very informative and detailed when describing the reason why my foot is broke. My doctor was really friendly and informative, I appreciated him being so explanative. Thank you for a great experience.

I received fast and courteous professional care. It was my first time visiting and I will thank my dr for the great referal.

Sarah the PA was very professional. She was also kind and compassionate. Her treatment following my auto wreck was reassuring, and made me confident in my recovery. This type of injury was unfamiliar to me and her exam and suggestions have helped immensely. She also didn't minimize the severities of my injuries. She has a very pleasant disposition and is an asset to your practice.

Visit went good and was fast. I was put be4 my app time. Appreciate everyone at the center. Katie gadkill

Great visit very very helpful And we thank u so much for being nice!!! Frank Smith

Very pleasant visit. Courteous, knowledgeable staff and prompt service.

Everyone was so nice and helpful. I did not have long to wait to be seen.

Although it was not the news I was hoping to here, Steve made it as pleasant as possible. He took the time to listen to me which makes all the difference in the world when you are the patient. I am a retired RN and worked all my life with people. Just having patience is the biggest asset one can give. All my treatments were explained and what my next steps will be. Everyone in the office is very polite and pleasant. Thanks

Kind, caring,helpful and explaining all option possible !

Sarah was very knowledgeable about my reason for being at the office today. She referred me for services and a prosthetic that will help my day to day mobility. This was my second time seeing her and she is a good extension of Dr. Coles. Thanks, Sarah!

Very timely appointment! Everyone was professional and friendly.

Exceptional care from Dr. Coles team, always. Thanks for squeezing me in!

Great service, great staff.

My visit was handled in a timely manner. My questions and concerns were answered. Thank you

I appreciate getting an appointment so quickly. Dr. Bates is very supportive and the staff was very easy to interact with. The shot Dr. Bates gave me produced immediate positive results. My hip has not felt this good for some time.

Very professional with excellent follow up care

Attentive staff. Timely appointments. Physician really listened to my concerns.

I was nervous to begin with as I was having issues with my back; saw the MRI report before the appointment and thought I was in for a long drawn-out process of finding pain relief. I immediately was put as ease as soon Drew Norris, PA, came into the exam room. His demeanor and willingness to listen to my concerns helped me relax. He pointed out on the MRI where the problem(s) are and started me on an action plan; had a "we got this" attitude and I left the appointment with such a sense of relief, I'm sure it helps in my recovery to know I'm in the care of this team at Carolinas Center for Surgery.

I always have a great appointment. I don't ever feel rushed. Dr. Bates and Steve are great. They will be doing my third surgery this fall. I would never go to another orthopedic physician. I highly recommend them at Carolina Center for Surgery.

Very little wait. Great physician, (Dr. Bates). Overall experience very favorable. Would recommend to family & friends.

Everyone was so nice.. I'm starting. To feel better. A lot of the pain is out of my lower leg. I'm looking forward to the next one so I'm back to normal again. Thanks so much. Teresa Proctor

The staff was kind and caring!Thank you!

Got escorted to exam room close to appointment time; excellent show & tell explanation of MRI.

I was taken in for my appointment promptly and treated by all staff and technicians with kindness. Dr. G explained my course of action to get better and was very clear. I would recommend Dr. G and his office.

Didn’t have to wait too long. The doctor answered questions to my satisfaction.

The nurse was wonderful and the Dr. explained everything in full detail. I felt that everyone was concerned for me and wanted to make sure I get the care I need.

From the time we walk in the front door of your Center for Surgery, we are treated with the utmost respect and care. Everyone is kind and helpful. The doctors are the best! No complaints here. Thank you for all that you do.

Very efficient and yet felt valued as patient. Everyone very considerate and friendly. Dr. Bates is excellent.

The appointment was on time, informative and the decision to go forward with surgery was made. Dr. Bates explained the benefits of partial knee replacement along with the potential risk of total knee replacement that I could avoid. An acceptable scheduled surgery date was set for January 2, 2019. Thank you

Seen on time.

My appointments all seem to run on time with very little waiting. NICE !! Maybe you could teach all the doctors in New Bern how to schedule appointments. I have seen some doctor visits take me four hours to complete in New Bern. Thanks, Greg

Fast check-in. Courteous staff. Short wait before seeing MD. MD took time to listen to concerns and address them, as well as his observations on my condition.

Carolina East continues to be a great and caring medical community. Thanks all you do!

Very professional well pleased

You gave me everything I asked for and more. My knee was repaired and I went home the same day. On the 4th day out of surgery I did a 1 1/2 mile walk with my dog. There was some pain for sure but I was walking without assistance. I couldn't have asked for more!

They were very good i like the office.

Everyone was very friendly and professional. Put at ease right away. Doctor not rushed, explained everything fully. Would highly recommend.

Everyone is very caring the doctor was very much explaining about my surgery and what to expect and not to expect gave some excersizes to do to help build strength back in it

Everyone very friendly and efficient. Dr. Bates was very informative and great at demonstrating with visuals so that I totally understood what happened to my leg and the steps to repair. He also explained recovery time given 2 scenarios. I was very pleased and have scheduled surgery.

Great reception at check in window. Wonderful patient nurse who saw me before the Doctor. She took slot of time updating my health information. Dr Bates was patient and listened to my concerns and I felt genuinely concerned and has interested in helping me with my condition.

I really liked Dr Bates's PA Stephen but wish I could have had more time with Dr Bates, especially since this was my first visit and I'm really particular about who I let cut on me. I'd especially like to know more about alternative treatments. A W Jeffreys

Thank you for prompt service in regards to my immediate needs. As an out-of-town patient in need of treatment, I so appreciated the manner in which I was treated. I am feeling much better.

Dr Sarah is wonderful gave me good advise and helped relieve pain.

Always enjoy coming to this office because the girl's up front at check in are very polite and just wonderful people.

everything your group has done for me has been so very good. The last time I was there, I experienced low blood sugar and your medical aid attendant brought me some juice which brought me out of it. That was not what I was there for, needless to say. It just showed you care which is really what is what it is all about. (As well as experience and skill etc)

Everything was fine.

For a number of years I've put off having my hip replaced. After meeting with dr. Coles and Consulting with him my confidence grew as well as Trust. After the surgery there was a lot of discomfort. However after going through physical therapy and follow-up visits I wish I would have had my hip replaced years ago. I now realize I didn't have to go through such terrible pain. I would recommend dr. Cole's and his staff because they certainly have improved my overall health. Ed Myers

Time of waiting; within 5 mins. Staff very friendly. Went to X-ray right away. Technician friendly. Doctor, answered all questions and very informative. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for great service!

From the moment I walk in the door everyone is very friendly!! So helpful. My dr "Sahara " is very helpful in explaining things to me and encouraging me to my next step to recovery!! Thanks to all.

The staff is very pleasant. Always smiling and eager to help.

I highly recommend Dr. Earl Frantz and his medical staff for the exceptional care I received with excellent results. Thank you for your expertise in providing my care.

My doctors and his PA were excellent in their caring , and concern. For my Development and healing after my knee replacement surgery. Had some problems but still they were there to help and guide. Could not have had more concerned professionals and my side

Every thing

Your staff is very polite and helpful keep up the good work

Jason is wonderful. Actually care about me. Look forward to improving my range of motion on my knee. So different from other PT I have been in.

Everyone made me feel valued but my family did not feel welcomed when they wanted to be with me. They were concerned about me being on pain meds and not remembering anything.

Great Doctors Bates and Huber They explain everything to me and surgery was successful

My visit was very informative n helpful and the staff was friendly

Nice visit as always. Shot in wrist WORK. Thanks

Great experience, everyone very helpful

Excellent surgery with great results.

Dr Wertman did a fantastic job on removing a growth on my index finger. Surgery and stiches were completed with no pain and healing process went as expected.

Very professional staff and very pleasant.

Caitie and Dr. Coles were wonderful as always. Courtney

Very professional and compassionate great experience

Fortunately I didn’t have to wait long before I was X-rayed to ensure bones were growing back correctly. I then met with Dr. Coles. Along the way, everyone was professional and friendly. My time spent was less than an hour, which I appreciated. Good experience!

Everyone was nice and professional check in was very fast not much waiting time dr explained things very well to what was going on

I'm having a lot of pain in my back

The exam speaking of your service is greatly appreciated

Friendly check in. Dr Huber took time with me and explained what was happening with my health.

Made me feel very at ease through the whole procedure

Courteous

Efficient flow in office.

Great doctors and staff

Very informative and helpful.

Shots in both hips, working good.

Sarah and Katie are very personable and compassionate. They evaluate promptly and provide remedies. The best team.

Dr. Bates and his team are personable, professional and precise. They are willing to take that extra moment to make sure everything comes out perfectly for you.

The whole thing was a very pleasant experience from reception to the meeting with the nurse and my session with the doctor I receive three shots for my back I had a good discussion with the doctor reviewed x-rays and he explained everything I needed to know I would recommend this medical facility to anyone and yes I will be going back thank you

Injections helped. .will be returning....

Great Drs and staff. Very professional and friendly.

Sara and staff are great. The wait was a little long.

I'm not Renee

On time appointment. All questions answered

Everyone was very friendly & understanding while I was trying to explain where my pain/discomfort was coming from.

I never stayed in 1 place by myself & waiting, for even 10 minutes. In other words, they not only xrayed, physically examined, diagnosed and first treatment All at the First appointment. And there was even a nice atmosphere.

Sarah and Katie are super nice. Compassionate, caring, and are attentive to remedies to ease your pain.

Dr. was very attentive and concerned. Very friendly staff. Excellent care!!

Got everything done the first appointment even starting a treatment. No messing around and wasting time. Yet Pleasant atmosphere

Always a good visit nice people that work there.steven is great.

Everything

Wonderful practice. I would recommend to anyone

Answered all my questions and had good feedback

Very pleasant and professional experience. Would highly recommend these services to anyone needing work done to correct similar problems.

Fast appropriate medical service. Thanks

Everyone was professional, friendly, and cared about my problem and me.

I wouldn't go anywhere else. Love Dr.Coles and Sarah!!!!!

Everything was great!!

Everyone very kind.

The waiting time was minimal, staff is always friendly and process was thoroughly explained

Staff is always professional, patient, friendly. Great doctors. 😉

The doctor was great. He was very informative about the up coming surgery and made me feel at ease. The nurse and x ray techs were very sweet. Thanks everyone

Everyone is warm, friendly and very professional, the staff listen and care about your problems. Outstanding job.

I am very impressed with the professionalism from everyone that I had contact with. This was my first visit and could not be more satisfied.

I was very pleased with my visit. PA Sarah was very pleasant and help ful.

Dr. Wertman is an amazing surgeon. I had a compound fracture of the right wrist, dorsal Barton. It has been nearly 6 weeks since my surgery. I have the same range of motion as in my left hand. The scar is nearly completely healed. The Action Therapist Pat Stange and her assistant Thea have taken me a long way with careful but increasingly difficult exercises. Dr. Wertman's staff is friendly and I feel blessed to have such a good result. I thank all involved.

Wonderful and professional practice

Everything was great

Prompt. And efficient

I was thrilled with the care I received from Dr. Wertman. He genuinely cared for me and before each surgery would he would check on me providing reassurance.

Very informative.

The women at the front check-in are not overly friendly....I find Steve Huber very easy to talk to and he explains things very well. The woman at the checkout desk is very nice.

Very friendly & helpful staff, wait times are better than other places I've been, but not great. I enjoy coming here.
