The staff and Dr. are perfect. They do not waste your time, they have a system and it is very efficient. Dr is right on with injection, last time pain stayed away for 6 years, this time in 24 hours pain is gone, be really happy if it last anywhere close to as long as last time. Highly recommend!

I have been getting knee injections at Wake Nonsurgical Orthopedics for about 2 years and I’m happy to encourage anyone that is looking for non surgical options for knee pain to try them. I have been very happy with the results. I’m pain free and able to walk and move much better with the injections. My mobility has improved 100% and appointments are quick and easy. I recommend Wake Nonsurgical Orthopedics to everyone I talk to that has knee pain. They are the best.

Pleased with the doctor. Unfortunately, I was only there 10 minutes total made a copay and have to come back in 3 days for an injection and will have to pay another copay. Everythings always about the money.

Dr. Kanaan and his staff were very accommodating and professional. The process involved getting a shoulder x-ray prior to determining that I should benefit from an injection of cortisone which I received with guided imagery to insure proper placement of medication.

Expert service at Wake Nonsurgical Orthopedics & Sports Medicine from the time the appointment was made, prompt staff checking (no waiting) for the appointment, Doctors assistant was excellent and Dr. Kanaan was very prompt and professional with a shot in each knee virtually painless. I was in and out of of WNO&SM in about 15 minutes.If your having knee problems or old-joint-problems I would highly recommend Matthew Kanaan, D.O at WNO&SM.Thank youKenny BlandGARNER, NC

Just one painless injection and I have experienced amazing relief. I would recommend this safe treatment for arthritis over any potentially harmful injections of medication. Dr. Kanaan makes the whole experience painless. I couldnt be more impressed.

Review №17

I would never go back here or recommend to anyone. My PCP sent me here to figure out severe pain at the knee area, front and back and down my calf for 6 weeks. Ultra sound showed 2 areas of fluid typical of a bakers cyst. My doctor sent me here to drain the cyst. Kanaan scanned quickly and said there was no cyst. Sent me for knee x-rays “to see what part of this is arthritis”. I have no history of arthritis. He said knees were good and I would never need knee replacements (surprise).Then said there is no cyst and no arthritis so there was nothing he could do. He never offered next step to take, who I might see, what to do. I left the office feeling like I was not a 20 year old basketball player so there was no worth in helping me. He looked at my age and surmised I had arthritis. FYI, I saw an orthopedic surgeon at EmergeOrtho. MRI confirmed a torn meniscus, had surgery and recovering well. Kanaan is lacking on bedside manner and diagnosis.

I had been having issues with my left arm for quite some time and my GP referred me to Dr. Kanaan. He knew immediately what was wrong, gave me a cortisone shot and brace and sent me on my way. My arm felt 10 times better the next day. Highly recommend this office. Everyone was super friendly. Cant say enough good things about Wake Internal Medicine Consultants! :-)

Were able to get me in quickly. Very efficient with not much wait time. Radiology in the same building so very quick to get X-rays. Dr was very knowledgeable and gave me several options. Spent as much time as needed talking me through everything and did not make me feel rushed. Didn’t love the diagnosis but appreciated his calm delivery. His nurse and the front desk were great as well. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent staff, Dr. Kanaan was late, I was advised and ok with it. He is an excellent physician and seemed to resolve my medical situation, will see. He however is short on personality, ALL business, which is fine.

Review №24

Ive seen Dr. Kanaan twice, once this year and once several years ago. Each time it was an injury I sustained from training to hard or pulling something while training. Anyway, Ive always felt treated like a real person and not a number and Ive felt that Dr. Kanaan was competent and knowledgeable. And each time I got good pain relief. During COVID the waiting room is empty, the safety precautions are evident, and I felt confident that I was receiving the best care possible.

Being a sports medicine patient of Dr Kanaan’s has been a great experience. He understands how important it is for me to be able to engage in sports in a health-responsible manner. He provides non-surgical guidance and expertise that has allowed me to overcome a variety of sports-related injuries. Together, we’ve developed plans to properly address these issues. His office and support staff are consistently courteous and professional.

Have been a long time patient at Wake Internal Medicine, but this was my first visit to Wake Sports Medicine. The staff were extremely helpful and considerate. I really liked Dr Kanaan. He listened carefully to my problem and came up with a good plan of treatment right away.I really appreciated that he didnt jump right to complex or advanced treatment, but instead said lets try the simplest thing that works for most people. I like that. We can do the more advanced steps later if required.I would definitely recommend these guys.

I’ve had non-Surgical treatment for my knees and it has delayed any surgery for 2 years and counting. I am pain-free most of the time. A little pain creeps in about a week or two before my treatment. What a blessing!I will continue my knee treatments indefinitely.Dr. Kanaan and staff are special in all they do. You’re always welcomed with a warm smile and you’re in and out of there feeling good in no time at all. They’re waiting for you to arrive on time and ready to go

Review №42

Fast service, they listened to the problem and offered quick relief. After only one day my knee feels better (not sure if that is psychosomatic or its actually working but who cares) and I have stopped taking any medication to alleviate pain. I feel incredibly stupid for not having come months or even years ago but hopefully someone reading this will learn from my mistake and schedule an appointment to stop their suffering. Dr Kanaan was quick, to the point, offered options and performed the service quickly, professionally and almost painlessly, from the moment I walked into a Dr office to the moment I left was under 25 minutes and they were short staffed, I think we should call Guinness World Records on that one.

Absolute rip off - SEE UPDATE BELOWDo not go hereWent to find out about the procedure he spent 5 mins explaining what would happen and then sent me a bill for 200 bucks did not even examine my elbowHad the injection which is 500 bucks up front, fair enough, that’s my choice.Oh by the way it didn’t work and not heard a thing from them as way as follow up or how are you doingJust take the money and runIf I could give zero I wouldUPDATE - Dr K and his office have contacted me directly, there were some mis communications that caused the issues. They have dealt with all these in a timely and professional manner which is all you can ask for when things do not go as expected. Satisfied with the resolution.

I called and was able to see Dr. Kanaan the next morning. The entire staff is kind, caring and highly efficient and professional. Everything was thoroughly explained and I was given education materials to take home with discharge instructions. I received a virtually painless cortisone shot due to Dr. Kanaans expert technique. As a retired R.N. I would highly recommend this practice and I am hopeful this will take care of my pain. If not, I wont hesitate to seek their help again. I wish all healthcare practices could be this good!

I wasnt impressed with how I was seen by the Doctor. Ive been trying to heal an injured wrist for awhile and Im still not sure what the problem is, even after visiting. I was just prescribed some medication that isnt really helping at all and I saw the doctor for like 1or 2 minutes. I feel like Im going to be right back in there in a week to ask the same question and still have the same symptomsUpdate: I was personally called by the Doctor to understand then issue with my wrist and discussed other options and next steps.

Review №54

Staff and doctor were professional. Dr. Kanaan took the time to listen to my issue and was upfront with what PRP may be able to do. He used ultrasound for the injection which was great because he could inject right the first time. I barely felt a pinch. When I had some follow-up concerns they addressed it without hassle and had me come in the next day to check things out. Its too early to know if PRP will work for me but Im satisfied with the service I was provided and will come to him again if I need an orthopedic doctor.

Review №63

On time. Friendly staff. I had been seeing some other orthopedists who had not been able to help my leg problems with various treatments. After many months of seeing different MDs, one suggested PRP as an alternative but was sort lukewarm in his suggestion. He was not as positive about its potential benefits as was Kanaan who seemed more knowledgeable about the procedure and also had a lot more experience with it. He didn’t spend a lot of time with me but I had my records which he glanced over so I think it was probably clear what my only choice was and he answered all my questions. satisfactorily. I feel much more comfortable with his doing the procedure than the other sports medicine guy.

We were completely impressed with the entire staff and the concern they showed for me and my worn out knees. Dr Kanaan’s honesty and desire to help me was apparent and very much appreciated.

Dr. Kanaan was very impressive on my first visit to his Office. Dr. K told me more about my current hip situation than I’ve received in the last 6 months.No one else had ever suggested an MRI, how can you help someone when you’re not 100% what’s wrong. Dr Kanaan has a very good idea but ordered an MRI to confirm.Impressive resume by Dr Kanaan, he works with some of the best Athletes in the Sports Sector.I wish I had come to see Wake Sports Medicine and Dr. Kanaan months ago.John BrownRaleigh, NC

I was told that I needed a knee replacement by another orthopedic doctor, and so I tried to find other options other than surgery. I met with Dr Kanaan, who discussed a variety of nonsurgical options with me. He spent a lot of time with me , which I greatly appreciated, and we decided to do some joint lubricant injections. It has been 2 months , and I am almost pain free. I am so happy that I found Dr Kanaan, and avoided surgery for now.

Review №90

I am a runner and generally run about 50 miles per week. In December I began experiencing pain behind my knee. It was not severe and I kept running. In January I suddenly experienced severe pain in my upper calf right below where I had previously experienced the knee pain. I went to a large orthopedic group in town who treated me with an anti inflammatory and then later with a cortisone shot. Neither of these did anything to resolve the problem. Because the orthopedist suspected a problem with my meniscus he said the next step would be an MRI.I went to Dr. Kanaan for a second opinion. He diagnosed the problem as a Bakers cyst caused by irritation in the knee and drained the area using an ultrasound machine to make sure that he got to the right spot. This was quick and easy. He then gave me a series of three injections in the knee over the next few weeks of a lubricant to ease the knee irritation. By the third injection I felt no pain at all and was back to training. Thanks to this treatment I was able to compete in and finish the Boston Marathon last week--a lifelong dream. I recommend Dr. Kanaan to any runner who wants to get off the sideline and back in the game.

I visited this place based on Google review. (5 starts as you can see) Dr.Kanaan was very NOT engaging, looked tired, and did not bother to come back into the room when I had additional question. After visiting another facility that specialize in athletes knee/ankle/leg injuries, I found out that the recovery method Dr.Kanaan has recommended is a very old one. I was not given Doctors note on the day I was promised and I had to call back for a reminder and to get it on the next day I was promised. I rarely ever leave review, but I am doing it for this place because I hope that my review helps others to think twice before they make a judgement based on 5 star google review.
