Dr Collazo and his scribe were wonderful. My only complaint is the X-ray tech didn't seem to have much compassion. She asked if I was supposed to put any weight on my left foot. I said I'm not supposed to. She said well that's the only way you're going to avoid surgery so you need to stay off it. But did she have a wheelchair to take me to the X-ray room so I wasn't on my foot? Nope. People that are coming to a doctor's office such as this they're in pain and they're suffering. We're not there for social events. So I would suggest keeping a wheelchair close by for the other people and myself that will need x-rays. I was lucky to have the knee scooter throughout this situation. I appreciate all of you guys help and making me feel better about having a broken foot. You guys are rockstars.

My previous doctor left ORA and I was pretty nervous to see who I would end up with. Dr. Collazo immediately erased my worries. He walked in the room with a bright cheerful smile and positive energy. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. He also had a different technique on how he does cortisone shots for plantar fasciatis and my feet haven't felt this good in a couple years. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Collazo and his nurse Lacey have been fabulous to work with - both down to earth, easy to talk to, and actually listen. Same goes for Dr. Clark and his nurse Heather. Both teams have explained things well, listened to my concerns, and worked with me to decide the best plan of action. My insurance has been a struggle and they've all gone above and beyond to get things approved and get us headed in the right direction. They've done their best to make an un-enjoyable situation a little easier to handle. Appreciate them a ton!
