“the whole surgery went well and healing is also well”

i would reconmend this surgeon to other people .he is so nice and caring and listens and helps.i appreciate everyone and everything they did for me.

“Excellent, smooth”

Dr. Hembree was pleasant, professional, efficient, considerate, and made a scary and nerve-wracking experience as smooth as it could have possibly been. (Alex, his nurse practitioner, was also AMAZING and she made the experience as low-stress as it could have possibly been.) I felt like I was in really excellent hands the whole time.

“it was excellent very nice people to deal with”

fixed something others did not want to try

“Best medical experience to date.”

Appointments are on-time from the first consult to the last follow-up. Dr. Hembree delivered the best result I could've asked for after I tore my achilles. I have full confidence in this surgeon and his team to repair any foot/ankle injury.

“Wonderful”

Dr. Hembree has been amazing to work with from diagnosis to post-op care. He was willing to try something that had a high percentage of success, but he did thorough diagnostics first. I trusted his call on surgery, and I'm feeling so much better than I was before surgery!

“Never had any issues.”

Each visit was enjoyable considering i was here after a surgery. My questions were answered clearly. I didn't have any issues with any of the post surgical recommendations for proper treatment.

“Dr. Hembree and his staff know exactly what to do!”

I am so thankful to Dr. Hembree, he has been extremely helpful from the start, till the end. I trust his advice, and his surgery skills are also comendable.

“AMAZING!!!!!!”

Dr. Hembree saved my foot. I tore my achilles tendon about a year ago, he was able to diagnose me and fix me up. My tendon had been infected and he did my surgery (After two previous surgeries with another doctor). My foot closed right up and it's only been uphill since I've seen him. He is an amazing doctor, he listens and cares about his patients. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you for saving my foot!

“Excellent facility.”

Dr. Hembree and Alex were awesome. They answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. My surgery was a success. Thank you both so much.

“Staff was amazing and caring.”

Dr Hembree and his team were fantastic, wish we had done the surgery sooner as we are very pleased with the results.

“Excellent Overall Experience”

After breaking my ankle a year earlier I was quite concerned as I was not completely healing. I addition I was not able to schedule an appointment with my original orthopedic surgeon do to scheduling conflicts.After a bit of research I found Dr. Hembree and I must say that was the best decision I could have made. Upon our first meeting he immediately diagnosed the issue and schedule me for surgery to have the old hardware removed. I must say I am not a fan of surgery however the experience was night and day compared to my last. Upon waking from surgery I was not groggy or in any significant pain. Furthermore I must commend the entire staff as everyone was attentive and accommodating. Thanks again to the entire Harbor Memorial Team!

“really appreciated the expertise and professionalism”

I would be happy if I received the quality care received from Dr. Hembree and his team with every doctor visit I have. The team was clearly knowledgeable, was able to adapt as things changed in my care, and engagements were always pleasant and professional. I would recommend this team to anyone with a need for their expertise.

“Terrific communication (with Alex and the Dr.). Made it a 5 star experience.”

Highly professional with a great personal touch.

“It was a great experience with Dr. Hembree.”

Dr. Hembree is great surgeon. He is honest and well mannered. I would recommend him to my family and friends,

“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.

“excellent experience”

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Hembree. He and Alex set a clear plan post surgery. My surgery exceeded my expectations. We stuck to the plan and I was back up and running in the exact quoted time frame. I could not be happier.

“Comforting and competent - he took time to explain everything”

Everyone that I've talked to has been so helpful. Dr. Hembree took time to explain everything I need to do to heal. Answered my questions and made me feel very comfortable.

“torn Achillies”

Dr. Hembree and his team were wonderful from the first appointment and throughout the healing process

the doctor explained everything and was super about answering and questions that i had my experience was awesome i would refer them to any of my friends and family

“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!

“he is a exelent doctor.”

very good experience.

“Excellent doctor and team!”

Everyone went above and beyond in my care and exceeded my expectations, My concerns were always addressed and questions answered. I always recommend Dr. Hembree and Alex to my friends with foot issues who need surgery.

“Great experience every time I come here.”

Very friendly, and always feel heard by my provider.

“Smooth and efficient”

The Medstar organization allowed me to do rehab surgery, preop, and other things all with the same people, which saved me a lot of time !

“Dr. Hembree was professional, polite, and confident.”

Dr. Hembree exceeded my expectations. I've had a nagging injury and finally sought out help to get it repaired. My ankle feels sturdier than it has in years and the scar has healed beautifully. I would recommend Dr. Hembree's care without reservation.

“Dr and staff were truly with us through the whole experience”

Dr. Hembree and Alex anticipated my questions and concerns and went out of their way to make sure I knew they were there for us. The way they interacted with my teenage son was wonderful - they engaged him as an adult. The services at Harbor Hospital clinic were easily accessible. There were appointments available for him to be seen the same day. On call doctors addressed my concerns on the weekend. My son received optimal care with this team.

great

“pleasant and efficient”

I feel very confident regarding my diagnosis and plan of care

“Compassionate Care”

“Thanks to Dr Hembree and staff!”

Through surgery and over 10 weeks of care Dr Hembree, Alex, and the office staff took great care of me. Thank you!

“Excellent”

Dr. Hembree was wonderful throughout my whole experience. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and promptly.

“Great communicator!!”

Clearly explained everything. Staff was very accessible for questions.

“Put my ankle back together better than I ever could have hoped.”

Dr. Hembree was described by the Union Memorial staff as "the ankle doctor" who is said to "do like 5 of these surgeries a month" - while I can't vouch for the volume, Dr. Hembree's surgical skill, right down to the stitches, proves he's perfected his craft. Being an active person, I was really upset about trimalleolar fracture and dislocation (not to mention in a lot of pain!) but doc and the crew kept me optimistic and informed throughout, explaining the surgery, giving me realistic expectations and specific directions for my healing. Two and a half months after my injury I'm looking forward to getting back to the gym and resuming normal activity. Didn't know what to expect as far as healing and function after this accident, but I'm not even fully there and I can say for sure, my recovery in the hands of this team has been so fast and so encouraging. Always heard MedStar was the ortho center of excellence, definitely experienced it first-hand (ankle). Thank you again!

“Great experience!”

Dr. Hembree gave me explicit directions on when to wear the brace and overall helped my ankle heel within a short period of time!

“Awesome doctor”

Excellent provider!

“fantastic expertise, personable manner”

dr. hembree and alex were excellent at a very difficult time. amazing surgical skill and follow up! directions always clear, phone consultation welcomed. clear assessment of progress (weaning from aircast...).

“absolutely excellent”

“Quality and compassionate care”

“Very good.”

“skillful and empathetic physician”

Dr. Hembree is excellent. He's very knowledgeable and has a great team around him. If I need treatment for my ankle again I'll be seeing Dr. Hembree.

“Great experience!”

I felt really listened to, repsected, and cared for by everyone in Dr. Hembree's office. I broke my ankle in November, and everyone here was able to work with worker's comp to help me get surgery and accommodate my needs. I learned a lot from everyone on the team, and everyone was very helpful and kind. I met many times with Alex and Dr. Hembree, both of whom were professional and respectful. I would absolutely recommend anyone who has ankle or foot injuries go to this doctor's office.

“Skilled and caring. An outstanding professional.”

After diagnosis, immediately scheduled my procedure for a few days later, which I greatly appreciated. My wound healed quickly, and I was pain free after the operation. The followups were always excellent. Both he and his PA are solicitous and caring.

“I came in after a previous ankle fracture didn't heal properly. Dr. Hembree was able to promptly diagnose the issue and begin treatment. I have been seeing him ever since and its been smooth sailing.”

Dr. Hembree and his team were professional, kind, caring and understanding. They provided encouragement and answered any questions I had in a way that I could understand.

I did a lot of research on foot surgeons in the Baltimore Washington area and Dr. Hembree was my first choice. I'm an RN who worked in the hospital setting for 30 yrs. We have strong opinions on Drs. :) I have been extremely please with the care I have received throughout this process of foot surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Hembree and his NP Alex.

“No more pain”

I was in constant pain from walking and working out, my big toe was under pressure and I needed relief. Dr. Hembree recommendation for surgery was the cure. No more pain.

“Very pleasant from the onset”

Dr Hembree and staff have been extremely helpful providing detailed information regarding the surgery and what to expect during the recovery process.

“Could not have asked for a better experience!”

Dr. Hembree was incredible! I had been suffering from a chronic ankle injury for over a year and a half when I first met with him. He was very confident in his diagnosis and made me feel very comfortable with the next steps that needed to be taken. He listened to all of my questions and concerns, answering them without hesitation and in detail. I felt very comfortable with his process and the care he was providing.

“Awesome”

If I had any issues they would respond back in a timely manner

“Outstanding care by Dr Hembree and his staff”

I had been putting off getting bunion relainand a dislocated toe repair surgery for some time. I met Dr Hembree and Alex on my first visit and just liked the feeling I got after meeting with the 2 of them. I went ahead with my surgery in January 2020. My dislocated toe ended up being very stubborn about revascularizing itself so I spent the night post op. The sweet fellow or resident (I was feeling bad that first night I can’t remember which) had worked all day yet checked on my toe every hour all night long as Dr Hembree had told him to do. He would come in every hour, apologize for turning the light on and then inspect my toe. Dr Hembree stopped in to see me at 8pm before he left for the day that had started at 7am in pre op that morning. Then the next morning Dr Hembree came in and checked on me at 7 am before his day started. I was discharged on a Thursday and Dr Hembree called me over the weekend to check on me. I have never felt such a dr’s concern for my well being. Thank you❤️❤️

“I felt confident my ankle was getting the best treatment”

Dr Hembree helped me understand what was happening with my ankle and anticipate each step of the healing process

“Caring and compassionate”

Both Dr. Hembree and Alex are wonderful. I always feel like they really care about me. We had a plan and as time progressed we had to deviate because my healing wasn't quite far enough along. It was the best decision and now I am doing great. So glad I was referred to Dr. Hembree.

“Amazing”

I had ankle surgery and it went as planned and now feeling so much better getting ready for softball season.

“Positive experience during procedure and with outcome”

Dr. Hembree gave me information that allowed me to make an informed decision regarding whether or not to have surgery. His expertise allowed me to come through the surgery with minimal post-op pain and a relatively quick recovery.

“Commitment to patient”

I was treated in all phases like a person and not just a patient. Couldn't ask for a better doctor and his assistant.

“Dr. Hembree saved me from a nightmare!!”

Days before Thanksgiving and my birthday I broke my ankle in 3 places. While dealing with this painfully traumatic experience, Dr. Hembree and the entire MedStar Orthapedic staff at Union Memorial SAVED MY ANKLE and LIFTED MY SPIRITS.

Excellent medical service, friendly and patient staff. The entire team is very cool and professional. I would and will be recommending this orthopedic unit of excellence to everyone I know.

Thank you for all that you guys do to care for your patients! You are appreciated!

“Not as bad as I thought”

When I was seen by Dr. Hembree before surgery, I was told that I really did it good; meaning severe break in 3 places. I believe Dr. Hembree's skill made my recovery so much easier than I thought. He was always within reach if I had a question and thorough in explaining my diagnosis and answering questions. I would highly recommend him.

“everyone was very helpful and so nice to deal with”

nothing bad to say

“happy with my treatment”
