I am very pleased with the treatment that I receive with Dr. Colbath. He and his staff are prompt, courteous, professional and care for my well being.....not only now, but moving forward. He is well read in proper pain management, and is not there simply to write a prescription and send me on my way. Thank you to him and his staff.

I had broken my arm over the weekend. I was in horrible pain and the ER only gave me enough pain medication to last untill Monday morning. I saw this doctor, only to have him day" take some Tylenol and suck it up" i was in serious pain and he dismissed me like i was a pill chaser. I have never been in so much pain. But he made me feel like i was only there for drugs. He also said " i dont see any brusing, when i explained my entire under was black and blue he dismissed me. I literally left his office in tears and in pain. He then said" i have had the same injury and i was fine" then he stated ill see you in a month. I then told him" YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN!

I had a very bad experience with Dr. Colbath. I was a new patient with severe pain in my left leg and he act like he didn’t want to treat me he wouldn’t take any test or anything.Dr. Colbath told me he couldn’t give me anything for my pain so I left there in severe pain .I wouldn’t recommend him for no one don’t waste your time or money.

Mr. Gregory Clobath isn't even worth the title of doctor. Patient care isn't his priority unless it's an easy situation to deal with. Please seek out the care of anyone else besides this man.

On first exam, determined problem, injected and pain has been gone now for over 3 months. He confirmed his diagnosis with an MRI just to make sure I was getting maximum cure.

I had a horrible experience with Dr. Colbath. The staff at the gaffney location was rude. They didn't have a brace to put my arm in.. Which was suprising to me since it's an orthopedic office. He left a crappy wrap on my arm that I got from Doctors Care. When it came to my medicine he acted as if I was a druggy! I am 26, work at a college and I've never been into drugs! I have a broke wrist and I refuse to be treated like a druggy because I don't want to be in pain. He wrote me a very low dose of pain medication that didn't work and when I called the office to let them know they were closed. I left 3 messages for the dr on call and never got a call back until the next evening. I ended up going to Spartanburg regional er. The dr I saw there was shocked that dr colbath didn't write me an anti inflammatory and muscle relaxer to go with my pain medication given the condition of my arm. I was treated so much better at regional! And they re-wrapped my arm and gave me a sling that actually… fits! Now I am waiting to see a orthopedist through Spartanburg regional.
