Lone Star on Old Hwy 1187 is just the best. Hands down. They are so friendly and so courteous from Ana ( front desk)and the therapists ( I had Katy and Kerri) and all the other employees. I just finished 6 months of therapy and rang that dang bell! And my surgeon, Dr John Thomas is just the best!!!! So knowledgeable, kind and so friendly and he doesn’t make you feel like you have to do surgery. He gives you the options and lets you make your own decision. No pressure! I would recommend this clinic to anyone that is looking for excellent care!

I have been treated by Dr. Werner and Dr. Thomas, great experience with both. These doctors truly listen to your concerns and paint a clear path to getting back on your feet. Front Desk, Scheduling, Doctor visit - all great 😊

Dr. Werner was absolutely awesome. He was very knowledgable, empathetic, and kind. His bed side manner was fantastic and he explained everything so well, I am confident he will get me all healed up. His nurse was very sweet and professional and the girls at the front desk were absolutely lovely. I would recommend this place and Dr. Werner to anyone. I had a great experience.

Dr. Barragan and his associates let my post-op (removal of bone spur) complications deteriorate, said no therapy would work, and that I should let him replace the whole knuckle because your insurance will pay for it. Nearly two years later: Hand is permanently disfigured and impaired, while another doctor was able to apply therapy and rehab to get most of the use back. The final insult from these people was when they billed insurance for a full-rate office visit for a telemed conference, through which by the way, I had to write my questions on post-it notes because he couldnt figure out how to Zoom in the early days of COVID.

Front Office Staff 4 stars... Doctor 5 stars all day!!! Dr. Evans is super nice and very detailed in his explanation on how to proceed. Great work! 👏

Theyve got to be the busiest doctors office on the planet! No matter what time you call or how many voice-mails you leave, theyre terrible at returning patient calls. It almost seems like their staff is too busy to be bothered with the patients that pay them. Once they decide to call you, its a whole rigamrole before they can see you. To top it all off, theyll wait until the night before, an hour before closing, to tell you that you need to show up with almost $1k to be seen the next day, when youre their very first appointment the next day. At this point, Id rather have to take a long drive to an office who will care then be just a 10 minute drive down the street and give them my very hard earned money.GET BETTER STAFF WHO CARE ABOUT YOUR PATIENTS!

The worst staff. Dont return calls or even answer the phones.Terrible

Friendly staff, short wait, good communication. Dr. Patel took his time explaining things to my Mom.

Dr. John Thomas is the best doctor I’ve ever had. He replaced my knee and it works great he’s going to work on my shoulder, rotator cuff. He’s one of the best And his nurse is great also

Dr Thomas is amazing! I recently had knee surgery and it was so smooth, I was up and walking the same day!! Thank you Lone Star Orthopaedic and Spine Specialists for a wonderful experience!

My experience with Lone Star Orthopedic has been nothing short of excellent. The staff and Dr. Ryba are great!! I cant recommend them enough and Im so thankful for them and the services they provide. Please choose them for your Orthopedic needs. You wont be sorry!

Dr Gurpreet S. Bajaj Is My Hero Today, Thank You Doc!! 👍☺️ now onto MRI to see inside there. See you again soon.

I would give zero stars if possible. I have battled with significant neck pain for last 6-7 years. I have tried physical therapy & chiropractic care both without improvement. Xray that was done in Dr. Ratuszniks office revealed spondylolisthesis, stenosis, & spondylosis. Apparently a MRI makes those things magically disappear. I was dismissed and ignored when I had informed him of prior physical therapy. He was argumentative and dismissive and kept insisting 2 visits with physical therapy would make my pain go away even after I had informed him of my previous physical therapy.

Went in to see my MD (Marti) for follow up to procedure.1. Male nurse came in and did not introduce himself. Asked questions and did measurements.2. Woman came in and did not introduce herself. Asked questions and made vague statements. We finally got out of her that she was a PA for the MD that we went in to see! We paid to see the MD! Finally we came to understand from her that if the pain becomes unbearable again come back to see them. This could have been communicated over the phone! Didnt see the doctor anyway! This whole visit could have been conducted by a five minute phone call.

This establishment does not have an orthopaedic doctor on site to assess a patient. You have to figure out without a road map which part hurts more and hope you pick the correct specialist to see. They treat jigsaw puzzles not people.Response from marketing manager. She is doing what she gets paid to do which was nothing to do with my medical problems or concerns, when a person hurts in multiple places equally. And when you leave a facility without seeing a doctor with the same pain because you cant get past the front desk personnel.

Some woman from this office called my wife in regards to my sons football injury. We spoke to Dr Evans, who was very nice and professional, at the Saturday morning sports clinic, and was ordered to get an MRI. MRI results were sent to Dr Evans, and some rude woman called my wife to set up an appointment, and that it would cost $100-$300, my wife told her we were seeing Dr Evans free of charge at the sports clinic, so she decided to tell my wife, if we dont want to pay for a visit, we should go to JPS, when my wife asked for information about who to see at JPS, she very condescending said I guess the ER, you know they have Doctors in the ER. I wonder if its their policy to be rude and condescending to people with medical issues, who happen to be in financial hardship at the moment. Way to make us feel like pieces of trash in an already stressful financial situation.

After having great experience with Dr. John Thomas with my three meniscus surgeries a couple of years ago, I recommended this facility to my wife for her back pain. Instead of paying the normal $35 Copay that shouldve been charged we had to pay $165 for the first visit and $110 for each visit after that to see Dr. Ratusznik. The reason for the upcharge that i was given was Hes a Specialist and hes allowed to charge more upfront. After the MRI we realized my wife has a herniated disk. We scheduled the surgery, paid the $1K deposit to secure the Dr, and had even already completed our Pre-op visit at Baylor Scott and White only to find out 72 hours before surgery that while Dr. Ratusznik was in our network, his two facilities (Baylor and Hughley) were not in network and that we would have to pay $13k up front on day of surgery. When I called Lonestar to inform them that Baylor called us asking for payment, they were able to verify as well on their end that we were not in network. I feel like someone shouldve seen this before Baylor Scott and White saw it. Meanwhile my wife who is still in severe pain has to now start all over with a brand new doctor. I tried to see about Lonestar providing some kind of pain prescription for her during the meantime. I had to schedule an appointment for next week with their pain Dr. and I got an email this evening with the subject line new patient paper work. We couldnt just carry a file across the hall? Im sure they are also wanting another $100+ in copay to see this Dr. Meanwhile my wife is still in extreme pain. In the beginning of this whole process, I told my wife to pay the upcharge in copay because I was completely sold on Lonestar as the place for her surgery. Unfortunately she has now ended up with an experience that makes us feel like we just visited JPS. Someone in that office dropped the ball big time during this process and my wife is the one who has to suffer the most because of it. No one seems to care that she is in severe pain. Any other Dr or facility wouldve realized their mistake and given her a prescription immediately while the situation was remedied. I recommend you check everything out before going to this facility!

Fantastic, caring doctors and staff. I highly recommend Lone Star for all of your joint needs!!!!

Hello - I have gone to Dr. Marti & Team at Lone Star since October of 2018 I have had Carpel tunnel release and trigger flinger release by Dr. Bajaj and I see Dr. Marti whom I have seen the longest, he is attentive and aware of my history and asks questions I have had several injections (i wont do surgery) and if I HAD to have it Im sure he would tell me - I love the Staff Marie & Daniel are Awesome! as well as the rest of the staff - If I need something they dont hesitate!Thank you for all you do - I cant Believe I dont see the podiatrist there lol since My feet are bad too, However I do have one that removed spurs from back of my heels so a few years ago ... who knows may make all docs in one place! Hands Feet back from retail years of retail uhhhgggg!

Dr. Thomas was amazing. He listened to me and explained every set of the surgery process.

My surgical experience with Dr. Alfonzo Barragan was excellent. I also felt that the staff was interested in my physical well-being and each step of my hand procedure was well explained. I never was made to feel that caring for me was a burden. I had no reluctance to ask for what I needed. My medical outcome is great so far! I highly recommend Dr. Barragan & Lone Star Orthopaedic and Spine Specialist.

Thanks Dr James Carson for being part of healing my Brocken wrist.

It is not a usual experience to enjoy a doctor visit, but it happened to me. The staff was pleasant and efficient. Dr. Werner confidently planned my treatment. From my first visit, through surgery and recovery I felt assured and encouraged. Thank you to all.

About 3 years ago I had a safe fall on my knee.. I went to cleburne orthopedic. For those three years I hurt,the des said I was good to go. The last year dr said I had arthritis. I wasnt happy, so I found dr Robert A Thomas. Within a week he said and I quote he said he will fix my knee. Today August 5th he released me. My knee is fixed. I do have some muscle rebuilding to do. Dr Thomas and his nurse Jessica are the best. I highly recommend him.

Great place and awesome Docs. It is the only place I go for an injury.

There is a great group of Dr. Dr. Evans is the best!! Nurses are very nice and helpful. The front office staff is great also. All around good!

DR RITUSNECK IS VERY GOOD DR.HEDOES EVRY THING HE CAN DO TO HELP YOU AVOID SURGERY. VERY WELL TRUSTED

The staff is very cordial. Dr. John Thomas is a very caring doctor who listens to my concerns and is willing to do what is necessary to help me.

I am impressed by all the physicians at Lone Star and the care they give each of their patients. Each physician and staff member is committed to seeing each patient achieve the best possible outcome. This practice is professional, caring and most importantly, excellent at what they do!

Dr. Ryba (who did my ankle repair surgery) at Lone Star is outstanding. The office personal at both the Burleson office and the Ft. Worth office are friendly and helpful.

Dr. Werner is great and helpful, yet waiting on his staff for a piece of paper took 2 hours just so I can return to work. Dr Werner get 5 stars and the staff is less than 1

Very uncaring. Showed up for my appointment, but they didn’t have my CT scan from the hospital, so Dr. Ritusnick refused to see me. I had earlier called the hospital to send him my CT scan. They politely refused, saying that they couldn’t send it from a patient request, but would be more than happy to mail it or courier it to the doctor if the office had requested it. Subsequently, I left a message on the doctor’s office VM with the hospital’s nuclear medicine number to call to request the CD. When I showed up at the appointment and asked if they had gotten my message with the hospital’s phone number, the office told me, not politely, that “They didn’t do that,” and I needed to drive downtown to pick the CD up and bring it to them. (???!!) I politely refused; I’m in a lot of pain and I don’t even live near this doctor who was a referral. They wouldn’t make a simple phone call? Pfffft!!!🚫🚫🚫

Dr. Thomas was the best.... he told me everything that was going to happen. I feel so much better after 6 weeks of a total left knee replacement. If and when my other knee goes out I will be going back to Dr. Thomas.

DR Thomas is a great surgeon who has repaired both my knees and one shoulder and one knee on my wife. He has a great bedside manner and we are totally confident in his ability. We would not go anywhere else.

The only reason why one star is because the staff was wonderful. As far as the spine doctor goes Im told nothing to be done unless I did physical therapy. Well had to go to another doctor and have to have two surgeries because of the shape Im in. I will not go to him again, he talks to fast, interrupts when your trying to talk. Ive seen more compassion from a snake.

I dont think they like my type of insurance. I was told I had to wait a month for someone to see me. Good customer service. No help at all.

Dr Bajaj is amazing. He has done my knee, my twins fathers knees and my step daughter. All the staff are uplifting with professional attitudes. You will not be sorry!

My experience with Lone Star Orthopaedic and Spine Specialists is a good one. Dr. Ratusznik and Jamie, his nurse are very professional and I would recommend them to my friends and family.

Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Von Evans! Planning for a third surgery performed by Dr. Evans. I think that is the best referral—being a repeat patient! I appreciate his chair-side manner: Sweet, friendly, listening, and so knowledgeable! Appointments with Dr. Evans are prompt and direct. He is so much in demand, however, he schedules pretty far out. But, I will wait to be treated by Dr. Evans for as long as it takes!His nurse, Ali, is fabulous! She knows the answers to any questions I have ever had.I have attended two different joint replacement classes hosted by Lone Star Orthopedics, and they were both excellent. I appreciate so much having needed information up front.I have been a patient of three of the Lone Star doctors plus the Bone Cinic. Dr Malonis, we miss you!Linda CurrierSurgery Patient Since 2010

Dr Bajaj and all of his associates are wonderful. Compassionate and knowledgeable. I have 2 new knees within 4 months and pain no longer.

Not very good for me doc von evens did not take care of me when he should of .. when a PT re-injured my shoulder.. von knew about and did nothing...

I have a sporadic knee swelling for awhile and thought I had gout for years. After my primary doctor sent me to a specialist which was one of the doctors here, It was not gout at all. It was a mild form of arthritis which did not need surgery and can be corrected by injections. Which was great news. The doctor was professional and staff. I am glade I came to Lone Star. Hopefully I will start my treatment in the next few months.

Dr. Werner is fantastic! He is very knowledgeable and thorough in his assessment. He is realistic in his feedback but strives to get you up and running as soon as possible.

The worst experience with a any doctor I have ever had. Dr. Ratusznik and his assistant Jamie were rude and in such a hurry they had no time to listen to me. I was told upfront by Jamie that because I was a smoker that they would not perform any procedures. He would only recommend physical therapy. I took my MRI and all the paperwork, was prepared to discuss with him a more permanent solution to my problem. But he would not take the time to study my case. I have degenerative spine, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and some other problems that cause severe pain. He informed me that he could see no reason why I would be in that much pain. And he left the room. This may be a case of discrimination?

Worst doctors office Ive ever heard of. Do not use this place unless you enjoy being screwed over financially, with your time (plan on at least a 3 hour wait in the waiting room). They have the worlds worst customer service, and will not respond to phone calls or emails. Youd find better care going to cvs than you do here.

I saw Dr Werner on a Monday after a fall on Saturday and visit to ER. He said to schedule a CT. The nurses said Huguley or Touchstone. Neither of them had availability till Friday. I scheduled with both luckily since Huguley called to say they needed to reschedule me since their machine was inoperable. That left me with a Touchstone, but their cost was 3x what a Huguley quoted, so I called my insurance who found me Prime for the same price as Huguley on that same Friday. I made my appointment that Friday for the CT. I was unable to join my husband on trip to New York for his mother’s funeral that weekend and there goes my ride for my follow up appointment on Monday with Dr Werner. I called Monday to reschedule before the Wednesday surgery, but to my surprise the non-emphatic Dr Werner said he was no longer comfortable seeing me as his patient due to my missed follow ups. I asked what missed follow ups,today? The nurse said she was only the messenger and the surgery was cancelled. So I was left with starting over after 1.5 weeks of a broken foot in 3 places without remorse. I would not recommend Dr Werner at all. And if you google him and watch his video, his statements of helping others goes totally against what I experienced.

Your feet will thank you when you visit Dr. Werner, (a kind and gentle foot doctor), to make the hurt go away. Youll walk away with a smile on your face and happy feet because if your feet arent happy, the rest of your body isnt happy! You can also get pretty feet with a pedicure and/or manicure with Lori. I did and I call that a winning combination!!

Dr. Ratusznik operated on my back and did an excellent job. My recovery has been very good and he and his staff responded timely to my needs. His bed side manner is also very good. He explains and advises with compassion. Nick Conte

I have been a patient of all four physicians. All of them are top notch! Incredible services and wonderful staff.

I work hard for my money, I do not have very much vacation time, and this place keeps using it all up. I cant tell you how many visits Ive had here and how many countless hours Ive wasted in this waiting room. Ive never in my life had to wait so long. If you have the ability to take a day off for a doctor visit, then this is your place. Worst experience of my life here. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Excellent place the people are friendly the doctors are knowledgeable and they let you make a knowledgeable decision with the information they give you

My wife had her knee repaired by Dr Von Evens.We were so happy with his work and him as a person I decided to have him repair my complete torn rotar cuff.Im on 3rd day of surgery recovery.Ive had a lot of surgeries in past.Let me tell you times have changed with pain n doctors.Because of the misuse n over prescribed,you’re gonna deal with some pain after surgery from here on out.This time out of surgery I hurt like hell for 2 days straight with zero sleep.The nursing staff was great they eased me thru the hurting by calling in a muscle relaxer instead of a stronger pain med and it worked.Damn good job to Dr Von Evans and staff n anyone I might be forgetting.Thank You for a pleasurable experience

Very knowledgeable and very attentive to clients...very pleased with the services i received...Katie and Christine are the best!

The office is easy to find. It is always clean and inviting. The staff is great. Very helpful. The Drs are up on the latest procedures. The ones I have seen have great bedside manners.I am totally satisfied with the procedures and the results that have been achieved by my Drs.Thanks Lone Star Orthopeadic Drs. Jj

Recently had the displeasure of interacting with this company, worst experience in my life. Ive wasted well over 100 hours of my life sitting in a waiting room chair. They over book their schedule, making you wait around on them. I was a cash patient, so they gladly took advantage of that. Communication with the office staff is impossible, even standing in the waiting room. DO NOT USE THIS DOCTORS OFFICE, SCAM SCAM SCAM.

I was referred to Lone Star Ortho and spine for my back problem. It is a beautiful facility and office help was great. I met with Dr Ratusznik. He is awesome! Although he isn’t real talky, he answered all my questions and explained he would try the least invasive treatment first. Amazing... he didn’t just schedule surgery right off the bat... I am in therapy and will see the doc next week...I am confident Dr Ratusznik is the best doc I could have found.

Dr. Ratusznik and his nurse assistant, Jamie are a wonderful team. Had back surgery and they met all my needs.

Came today 8/13/2018 at 1:50 pm to Dr. Von L. Evans, Jr & Dr. Christopher Wemer and the front desk lady treated my son very rudely! She asked for his last name in a very loud tone and told us he was not scheduled for an appointment. When I showed her my text message appointment reminder she finally decided to look in the system, very rude and bad attitude like she didn’t want to take care of us. I asked for her name and she refused to tell me. I found out her name with the help of another employee, her name is “Stephanie” =Rude and worse customer service ever! Never coming back here again!!!

Staff is cordial and fun to be around. Dr. Bajaj is the finest doctor I have ever had.

Dr. Bajaj, did a bilateral knee replacement on me. (both knees at the same time) He is patient, kind, and really cares. Im not at the point of no pain, but I know its around the corner. His office staff is so caring, especially Misty. I came home from rehab, and my in home rehab company was worthless. She talked to me, listened, told me I could call anytime and I did. I never felt like I was bothering her. She reported to Dr. Bajaj when I had my rehab issues, they immediatly changed companys for me. I would give them a higher ranking if I could.

Ok, I was in severe pain when my family doctor recommended Dr. Retusnik. One woman overheard me confirming my appt. and said nothing kind about Dr. R and his wife. She said only that they worked together (Dr. and wife). Her attitude ( through a grumpy face) concerned me and I went apprehensively to my appt. I was nervous and got lost and almost was too late. Once I filled out the paperwork, I was taken back by the cutest little pregnant woman and it was Mrs. Retusnik! She was smiling and happy. She asked questions and got me settled. Finally the good doctor came to see me and he was energetic, kind and a good listener! I left feeling confident that I was in good hands! Thank you for the professionalism mixed with warm beside manner ☺️Lesson learned in my opinion that just because one person is unhappy, it doesnt mean I have to be!

Great people. Great shoulder Surgery. Highly recommend.

I would have chosen 0 stars but it wasnt an option. I have a genetic disorder that contributes to some intense pain. I went to LSO to discuss this with a doctor. I was asked some very cursory questions by a nurse rushed through x-ray speedy quick and then the doctor was in promotly to see me. This efficient service would have impressed me if it werent for the fact that the Dr. seemed to not listen to me at all, he seemed completely disinterested in my pre-existing condition, and generally treated me as though I were an inconvenience in his busy schedule. He then rushed me out the door feeling frustrated and angry with what is proving to be a very temporary treatment to a somewhat large and continuous problem. This visit reflected the priority that our health system places on $ vs. Quality of care. I will be seeking a second opinion from someone with more compassion, experience, and a genuine interest in the health of their patients.

My experience at Lone Star Orthopedic has been great . The waite time is short and all the staff make you feel welcomed. I would recommend them to anyone in need of orthopedic care.

I LOVE Dr Bajaj. He is one of the most patient, caring, easily approachable and knowledgeable doctors I have ever met. He is honest when informing the patient of their diagnosis/prognosis, but doesnt try to pressure you into having surgery. He did bilateral TKR replacements on me and was there providing support every step of the way, including when the insurance company decided to send me to a long-term care facility as opposed to an acute care facility. I get compliments ALL the time ftom people saying if I didnt tell them they would never guess Ive had knee replacements. Dr Bajaj is also the ONLY physician who believed me when I suspected I had RA and thanks to his referral I am now recieving treatment and back to my old self.

Dr Thomas has been great he fixed my shoulder and is now giving me shots in both knees. The office staff are very friendly.

Dr. Bajaj was a second opinion referral to me from a friend who had had a knee replacement. From the moment I met Dr. Bajaj and his staff at the Lipscomb office, I knew I was in the right place! My first surgery with him was 6/8/17 and was a reconstructed ACL and arthroscopy. I blew through with flying colors from surgery through PT! Absolutely NO problems at all to this day! A few weeks ago 4/18/18 I had a completely separated rotator cuff with 3 bone spurs on the collarbone. Dr. Bajaj expertly performed this surgery with PT starting next week! Have not had one complaint! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bajaj and staff (Jonna, Pete, Adam) for all your orthopedic needs! From their consultations to bedside manners I rate them very highly! I wont go anywhere else now that my foundation has been built around them. Bravo for great integrity LoneStar Orthopaedics! (Particularly Dr. Bajaj & staff!)

Terrible office people. Kept calling me for information they forgot I gave them the previous two days. Then when I arrive they hand me a stack of broken hand forms to fill out with my broken hand and they get picky about how I filled out the forms with my broken hand.

The staff at the Burleson, Tx location is very professional and friendly. The facility is clean and easily located off I 35.

Very clean and staff was great and polite.

I am still on this journey, so cannot comment on being pain free or even close yet, however, I would recommend Dr. Bajaj and his staff with all my heart!

When I started my journey here, I couldnt stand, sit or lay down.. Thanks to dr. Ratusnik I just rode my mountain bike 7.5 miles today, through actual mountain trails.

I have used 3 of this practices doctors. They were all very professional, very helpful and very concerned about my pain.

From 8-8:15 I havent got any of the schedulers lines to answer so I can get in as a new pt and currently have my finger dislocated and broke in 3 different spots🤦‍♀️

Dr Werner is a great doctor and has been a huge help with addressing my problems and concerns.

Bajaj is outstanding

Very good
