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.

great!
Dr. Followwill has performed two knee surgeries for me, and broken arm repair many years ago for my son. My son said years later an xray did not even show a line. Perfect alignment. His staff is kind, he has given all the time I need for questions.

I wanted to take a few moments and express my gratitude for the high degree of professionalism, assistance and medical care Dr. Followwill and his medical staff (especially Nurse Kelly) have given me while addressing my latest medical issue of total knee replacement. During the past several months, you and your medical staff and have really shined, in my opinion. You and your medical staff have been not only polite and professional but displayed a truly caring persona which made coping with my latest medical issue much easier.

I have been a patient of Dr. Followwill's since 2003. I have had surgery on both my knees for ACL reconstruction. My care was "exceptional". He explained the injury and what would need to be done as well as my recovery time. I recently strained my knee and he examined it and found that the reconstruction was not affected. I recommend him to any of my friends and family.

Recently my 7 year old daughter broke her arm and required surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Followwill, he treated us and our daughter with care and compassion. He made it a point to talk to our daughter at her level. This made her experience less traumatic. His expertise and quality of her care superseded our expectations. Her arm has healed well and she is back to her normal 7 year old activities.

My Mom had hip surgery from this doctor. He had no bedside manners and never once came to check on my Mom after surgery. We had to threaten them so that they would come and take the staples out after 5 weeks. I would never recommend this so called doctor to my worst enemy.

Dr. Followwill replaced my right hip on March 6th, and my left hip on May 1st, 2017. The only pain I have is from the muscles and incision. It is the first time I haven't had any pain in more than six years. My legs are both the same length--a worry for anyone having hip replacement surgery. The road to recovery has been relatively quick. I would recommend Dr. Followwill to anyone needing joint replacement surgery--He is terrific. He explained everything and did a great job.

I had a regular appointment at 3:15pm on a Tuesday. Can you guess what time they took me in? at 4:48pm? This doctor and the nurses are the worst kind you will ever get. And I have one of the best insurance in the country. I do not know why patients needs to be suffered like this, and when inside, all you see is Nurses chit chatting with each other and no care whats so ever for the patients. When you come inside, you fill the yellow slip and say "I came", rather than someone talk to you. God forb

I had 3 appts. with Dr. Followwill's PA with a foot injury. I was told I had a small hairline fracture - put in a boot. The pain did not decrease, MRI was ordered. Then I was told there was no hairline fracture, it was sprained tendon and a contusion on the bottom of my foot. PA told me she could just cut off my foot since I was not taking care of it. Went to Austin, now scheduled for surgery for broken bone, ligament and nerve damage. MRI was read wrong and PA never listened to me.
