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.

Awesome!!

Friendly, take time to listen and address issue
Make one felt welcomed and cared for at the moment he greeted you. No rushed but listened attentively to concerns, discussed causes and suggested options but started with the easiest to do first. Great doctor!

Outstanding Care
THE BEST comprehensive care from every staff member. On schedule, friendly, professional, and caring. Dr Early helped me with a perfect surgical outcome on my right heel several years ago. When the same issues arose with my left heel there was no question who I would call. It is so amazing that there are still Dr’s like Dr. Early and his staff where a patient can feel heard, cared for, and confident that they are receiving the best care available. Bravo !

Missed diagnosis
I had hoped for an MRI recommendation for what I thought was a sprained ankle too swollen. I sought another opinion and through an MRI now know I have a tumor in my heel. If I had followed Dr. Early’s advice, I would still be limping with a swollen gf pot think I had torn ligaments.

Dr. Early is the absolute best orthopedic surgeon.
Dr. Early is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I come from Waco to see him. He did bunion surgery on both of my feet 14 years ago on one foot and 13 years ago on the other foot. The bunions have not come back on either foot. He’s the absolute best.

Dr. Early was straight forward in describing my injury, as well as the odds that it would ultimately heal without the need for surgery. He also let me know what I needed to do in order to help the healing process. We didn't spend a lot of time together but I didn't feel like there was any rush or that he was in a hurry to wrap things up quickly and move on.

Outstanding Dr.
Dr. Early is very professional and personal. His surgery skills are outstanding. He and his team are always there to answer my questions post surgery. I had an ankle fusion and I am healing well. I recommend anyone with complex ankle / foot problems to allow Dr. Early to solve your problems.

Best in the his business
From a professional standpoint, I have observed multiple foot and ankle trauma work injury patients have excellent results under Dr Early's care. From a personal standpoint- I can vouch for his knowledge, professionalism, and encouragement. YES- the patient has to do their part- but once Dr Early says- OK- Go on now, you KNOW your problem has been repaired properly.

Initial visit.
I have had foot pain for many years. I have finally decided to address the problem. Office staff, nurse, and x-Ray techs were very professional. Dr. Early gave me plenty of time to show me all the issues and explain procedures to improve my situation. We will see how it will go in the future, but I am very pleased with everything so far.

Great doctor
Dr. Early is compassionate, efficient without being rushed, and is happy to answer all questions related to treatment and healing. He and TOA staff are all friendly, attentive, and accessible. Questions I asked through the Phreesia app were answered the very next day, and phone calls usually returned on the same day.

Dr. Early was able to diagnose my condition. I was relieved that I didn’t have any broken bones or arthritis. Based on my condition, he gave me a verbal recommendation going forward to help alleviate my pain. He also told me if it got worse, to call him.

Great Doctor
Dr. Early was very patient and gentle with a sense of humor. He took time to not only show and explain my X-ray but showed where on my foot the actual fracture was. He explained my treatment plan and let me know I could contact him with any questions that may arise. I would highly recommend him and his staff.
