I was pleased with my visit with Dr. Houdek at EmergeOrtho. The exam was thorough and informative, and I didn't feel rushed. I was impressed with the kind and courteous staff and the clinic overall. The wait time was minimal, which I much appreciated. I would recommend EmergeOrtho in Hickory to others.
