Northland Orthopaedic Centre LTD.

**Update**I didn't end up needing surgery. But I was continued to be treated with the upmost respect and care.I will definitely recommend this doctor to anyone in need of an orthopedic surgeon.This was my first visit to Northland Orthopedics. Since I was there due to a bad fall and my back is a real mess, going to a doctor's office could have been miserable. Just being in a car is misery.But the staff up front, I think they are called PA's but I'm new to this country so I'm not 100% positive about that.The PA's were, friendly, welcoming, professional and they had all the paperwork ready for me to fill out. I was asked if it would be easier, for my pain, to fill the forms out standing up or sitting down. Something I've never been asked at a doctors office (I've had 14 surgeries and 7 knee surgeries, so I'm no stranger to doctor's offices)I don't know why they wouldn't just do this automatically, everywhere?Considering, for the most part, by the time you're at an orthopedic surgeon's office, you are probably in bad pain.This may seem very trivial but it made me feel cared for and validated.I was fully expecting a long wait. With COVID back and the Northland being at level 2, I thought it would take a while.I was very wrong, as soon as I was finished filling out the paperwork, my doctor, Erin, came out and got me.Erin was very professional, listened well and gave me the feeling of being heard as well as cared for. He seemed very trustworthy.A lot of doctors that I've dealt with in the past were awful at listening. I really appreciated his candor.He tried to be as gentle as he could which was great. He then ordered the tests I need.This is early days with this doctor. But if his staff and his demeanor is any indication of what I can expect, I feel I'm in very good hands.I will update this review after I see him again. I'm giving four stars because I really don't know enough at this point to give five.I've given 5 stars now. I've seen Erin, Mr. Ratahi, 3 times now. This last time was due to me injuring my bad knee while doing phisio. Erin treated me with respect and kindness again. He ordered an MRI for me which I got within the week! I really can't say enough good things about this doctor and his staff. I definitely think he's one of the good ones!

Very friendly people fast service
