I met Dr. Hembree due to an accidental fall in March 2020 & He is the best surgeon! Very pleasant and communicated with me about the surgery and what to expect with the healing process.

Good as it gets

Quick and accurate diagnosis, surgery scheduled quickly, no issues during or after surgery. Recovery has been as quick as i could have hoped. Extremely pleased with his medical opinion and the results of my operation.

Dr. Hembree helped me to walk again

I came to Dr. Hembree in August 2020 and I was frighten because I was not able to move my ankle properly and everything hurt. I myself thought I either had a bad sprain or I messed up my Achilles tendon in some way. From my initial visit Dr. Hembree wasted no time and figured out immediately that I tore my Achilles tendon and would need surgery immediately. However he did give me other options the consisted of just PT etc. but I opted to complete surgery and PT because that was a better choice for me. I was nervous about the whole ordeal but pleased with the outcome. Dr. Hembree helped me to walk again!!! I am still currently in the healing process for a total of a year, but I am fight the good fight and get better.
Alex his NP has been awesome from surgery room to every follow-up visit and given me confidence to keep at it. Alex let me know to take my time but also pushed me to keep doing my workouts and I will get better!
Thank you Dr. Hembree and Alex! You are GREAT!

Great consultation and surgery care

Dr. Hembree was a great choice for the needs of my completely torn achiles tendon. He was patient but passionate and confident in his ability to give information , best interventions and follow-up instructions. His team was cohesive and trust his leadership and guidance in his procedures and abilities also, this gave additional reassurance on my surgery date. i would recommend him for any one with foot needs

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.

Dr Hembree is very professional. I had never been hurt or broken a bone before and was completely clueless, but meeting the staff here at Union Memorial and then meeting the doctor was so comforting and informative. From day one to now, I have been treated so well. Thank God for you all, and be blessed!!!

Dr. Hembree and Alex have been absolutely wonderful.

The absolute best case scenario. I was in a lot of pain and very eager to get better. Dr. Hembree's level of care has been unmatched by any provider I have had in the past. I am thrilled to have found him for my surgery and recovery.
