Dr. Robert Mitchell Pickering, MD

He saw my daughter for a leg injury. I felt like he dismissed her and said she has a hematoma. My gut instinct told me otherwise. We had a second opinion and turns out she has a hamstring tear.

I heard Dr. Pickering was the best and that's what I wanted for my husband who was experiencing severe pain. Dr. Pickering seemed annoyed by us and our questions. I was very disappointed. I guess we will have to endure this type treatment because he is the best. Doctors should be more compassionate.

He is the best

My whole family has been using him for years. We love him because he doesn't just rush into surgery and takes his time to try to figure out what the problem really is. Yes, sometimes this takes multiple appointments and trial and error and that can be frustrating when you are in pain. There are steps that must be taken. He's a doctor not a magician and when you're having problems with your body you shouldn't want someone to rush to a diagnosis. Sometimes I do feel like he's in and out a little to quickly but if you ask him to explain things more clearly he always does. I trust him and that means a lot these days. I've called several times and ask for his nurse to call me and they always call me back the same day.

Saw this doctor a week ago. Explained my issue and how I didnt have time to mess with "band-aid" fixes because of my work travel. Not only he do exactly that, he couldnt even be bothered to write a prescription for what he said he was. Side note: it took a WEEK of leaving messages and complaining before I was allowed to speak to his assistant. See this guy at your own risk knowing he is a treat and street care provider.

After giving this doctor good reviews a couple of years ago, I was very disappointed with the last visit. Having severe back pain, went to Ortho One. Took 2 x-rays & he came in the room for less than 10 minutes, told me he couldn't see anything on the x-ray & dismissed me. When I decided to go to another doctor for a second opinion I had to get a copy of MY records.Dr. Pickering's office tells me I have to pay $10.00 for a copy of each x-ray & $1.00 a page for a copy of my records. The insurance has already paid him over $300.00 for less than a 10 minute visit. First time I have paid for a copy of my own records from any doctor.

Dr. Pickering is by far the best doctor I have seen. He takes the time to tell you the issues, possible solutions and give you whatever time you need to answer questions. I required surgery and he was at the hospital before I arrived and was ready to go and was there when I was coming out of recovery. Would recommend Dr. Pickering to anyone who needs his medical expertise!

After going to another Ortho Clinc for many years I decided to try Orto One After 4 visits over a period of 2 years I can find nothing to complain about. Appointments are easy to get & if you have an urget need they will get you you in the day you call. All the staff including the young female xray tech, Dr. Pickering's assistant& the doctor himself were very friendly & very prompt.

One of the few doctors that you can get an appointment with the same day if necessary

Got there 15 minutes early. X-rays done & in a room by appointment time.Dr. Pickering spent about 20 minutes with me explaining my condition & listening to me.Much better than the previous Orthopedic that I had been to.
