Very professional and explained every step of the way something I can understand.

I came to get a second opinion and now I would not go anywhere else. Time table for recovery was accurate, diagnostic was spot on, and everything was explained thoroughouly so I knew what was going on.

excellent experience

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Hembree. He and Alex set a clear plan post surgery. My surgery exceeded my expectations. We stuck to the plan and I was back up and running in the exact quoted time frame. I could not be happier.

Comforting and competent - he took time to explain everything

Everyone that I've talked to has been so helpful. Dr. Hembree took time to explain everything I need to do to heal. Answered my questions and made me feel very comfortable.

open, honest communication

Compared to my experiences elsewhere, Dr. Hembree does not talk in a condescending manner or skip over details. He explains concepts clearly and answers questions directly.

Great experience!

I felt really listened to, repsected, and cared for by everyone in Dr. Hembree's office. I broke my ankle in November, and everyone here was able to work with worker's comp to help me get surgery and accommodate my needs. I learned a lot from everyone on the team, and everyone was very helpful and kind. I met many times with Alex and Dr. Hembree, both of whom were professional and respectful. I would absolutely recommend anyone who has ankle or foot injuries go to this doctor's office.

Best medical experience to date.

Appointments are on-time from the first consult to the last follow-up. Dr. Hembree delivered the best result I could've asked for after I tore my achilles. I have full confidence in this surgeon and his team to repair any foot/ankle injury.

AMAZING!!!!!!

Dr. Hembree saved my foot. I tore my achilles tendon about a year ago, he was able to diagnose me and fix me up. My tendon had been infected and he did my surgery (After two previous surgeries with another doctor). My foot closed right up and it's only been uphill since I've seen him. He is an amazing doctor, he listens and cares about his patients. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for saving my foot!

Excellent Overall Experience

After breaking my ankle a year earlier I was quite concerned as I was not completely healing. I addition I was not able to schedule an appointment with my original orthopedic surgeon do to scheduling conflicts.After a bit of research I found Dr. Hembree and I must say that was the best decision I could have made. Upon our first meeting he immediately diagnosed the issue and schedule me for surgery to have the old hardware removed. I must say I am not a fan of surgery however the experience was night and day compared to my last. Upon waking from surgery I was not groggy or in any significant pain. Furthermore I must commend the entire staff as everyone was attentive and accommodating. Thanks again to the entire Harbor Memorial Team!

excellent

I did a lot of research on foot surgeons in the Baltimore Washington area and Dr. Hembree was my first choice. I'm an RN who worked in the hospital setting for 30 yrs. We have strong opinions on Drs. :) I have been extremely please with the care I have received throughout this process of foot surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Hembree and his NP Alex.
