The majority of the staff are super friendly & seem to genuinely care. The x-ray tech is especially kind. Dr. Chilhis is very knowledgable & shows compassion. He explains things thoroughly & uses x-rays to provide a clear picture of what's going on.

I felt the doctor was very straight foward and hinest about my daughters ankle. He put her on the right path, letting her know she has responsibility in her recovery with certain exercizes and if things didnt improve she us to come back for further eval. He knew what her problem was very quickly. Experienced Doctor.

Positives: front desk - friendly, timely, worked with new to find an appointment that was timely and worked around my work scheduleDoctor - understanding and offered options to ease my mind for my current pain and confusing MRI.Negative- they will no longer be taking my insurance and now I have to start somewhere else

The doctor seemed like my presence was a bother to him. He told me he had a lot of patients to see. I got nothing out of the visit.

I had Dr. Christopher Chihlas treat my foot, he was extremely professional. He was outstanding in explaining the injury that I had, using my X-rays. Doctor Chilas is a tremendous asset to the Southcoast Health Orthopedics. I would also like to say his mannerism with a patient and caring was a 100 percent. I would recommend him to anyone needing this type of care.
