Everyone is very professional and kind at both the Augusta and Waynesboro offices. I was very impressed with Dr. Mahmoud from my initial visit. He is very knowledgeable and caring. I would highly recommend him.

C. Rogers Apr 18 2024

Review for Dr. Mahmoud

Very personable, knowledgable, and a good communicator. I was seen quickly, efficiently, and courteously by all the staff. I had been seen years earlier for a different problem and that also was a great experience and good results.

Review for Dr. Brown

Very professional. She listens to you without rushing time. I saw her for trigger finger and gave me options and agreed with me for a less invasive treatment before surgery. Explained everything she did. All went well.Well recommended.

Gayle Apr 18 2024

Review for Dr. Brown

Dr Rouch was competent in all the areas of my surgery and his pre-operation information was invaluable. Very personable. Not knowing any other orthopedic surgeons i feel fortunate to have found him! He recognized the need for emergency tactics but never distressed me with the facts. Physical therapy...
