I met Dr. Phadke before I was a patient because he had performed hip surgery on both of my parents. He was very patient and caring with them, so I knew that when I broke my wrist, I wanted him to be my physician. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Prato answers my concerns thoroughly. With each visit the professional Dr/Patient relationship continues to grow. He is a true professional practitioner and am glad that my knees will be taken care of by his proficient skill and experience. Thank you.

I had a fall breaking my humerus at the shoulder. No surgery was necessary, but it was very painful. Dr. Prato was honest in telling me it is a fracture you can never fully recover from, but between his treatment and Carolina Orthopaedic Physical Therapy group, I'm recovering nicely.
