  • Dr Hess was great along with the tech for x-rays. The down side was the hour wait past scheduled appointment. Would have got a five if not for the long wait. Excuse was over booked. Thanks Dr Hess for being so kind so I could over look the tardiness. - David C. - 7/10/2023 
  • Hope Orthopedic was overwhelmed with patients. The Xray was 1 hour behind. But all the receptionists and medical assistant were very friendly and informational. Once being seen by Dr Hess, it was a short visit as all was ok. - Carol M. - 7/08/2023
