Dr. Wallington's Reviews
Dr. Wallington takes the time to figure out what's going on. He and his team provide attentive and compassionate care. They were able to get me scheduled for tests and procedures quickly and in a very short timeline.
Timely, personable and attentive. Nice people who obviously care for each individual. Dr Wallington gives details that make his medical findings clear and concise. And he will take time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions. Nice practice!
I have been to Orthopedic Associates and had the pleasure of meeting Dr John Wallington MD. I was seeing him for my ongoing neck pain. I hadn’t been seen for quite awhile for this issue, but when I gave Dr John a bit of background on how I hurt my neck, he took X-rays in the office which was convenient. He gave me the results, fortunately, nothing was broken, I was relieved. Next he wanted me to do physical therapy for my neck, then f/up in 6 weeks. I really felt at ease the whole visit, looking forward to seeing what is next after therapy.
Dr. Wallington was phenomenal. He did a wonderful job explaining everything, made sure all my questions were answered and concerns addressed. I never felt rushed throughout the whole appointment.
Dr. Wallington is caring, compassionate and has a wonderful bedside manners. He listens to your needs and works with you to get the best answers/recommendations.

I couldn’t have hoped to have fallen into better hands than Dr. Wallington!He is extremely thorough and informative, and an incredible practitioner!! Everyone at OCC is fantastic!!!
Dr Wallington is so great at performing the Epidural on my back. He explains everything so well and I was immediately relieved of pain. The Epidural lasted Two and a half years which is amazing with no pain. Back acting up again and I’m having Dr Wallington do his magic again. So much easier than having surgery.
Painful, very helpful, now I know exactly what's wrong with my hand and wrist. Dr. Wallington very friendly, pleasant and nice. Would see him again if I needed too.
The staff was courteous. The doctor saw me on time when my appointment was scheduled. Dr Wallington was very informative about my issues and explained treatment options. I had a good experience with OOC.
