Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful Doctor and Surgeon
Never a wait for your appointment time. Dr. Terral makes sure you understand everything involved with your procedure. He takes time to answer any and all your questions. I feel so fortunate to have been referred to him. He gave me my life back with my new knee!

Dr. Terral has treated me for my left shoulder and he was right on with the treatment. He explained everything to me and answered any questions I had. I’ve used him twice now ( torn hamstring first time) and will use him if the situation warrants it.

Very definitive, Had X-rays from 2017 ,he explained the progression to 2022. They do their own X-rays, they described the knee, in great detail. Recommended a brace and it was fitted there. He and his staff have got to be the premium Orthopaedic Specialists around anywhere. I trust him and would recommend him to family, a Plus 10...

Dr Terrell did a total knee replacement in August of 2018. Prior to that I suffered on a daily basis until it got so bad that nothing relieved the awful pain not even strong pain meds. I knew I was in trouble when I ran in my back yard one evening and my knee turned side ways. I went to Dr Terrell and two weeks later I was getting a new knee. I was up walking that night and have never looked back. He did an amazing job. The key is do what he tells you and use plenty of ice. Please work hard in physical therapy it pays off. All that to say he is the best. I would not let another Dr do any bone surgery but him. He is awesome. Great personality and a Cutie to look at.

Dr. Terral is without a doubt the most compassionate, caring dedicated OrthopaedicSurgeon ! I am grateful to be his patient. His bedside manner demonstrates his genuine kindness and concern. He is a skilled and talented surgeon. If I could give him 10 stars I would! Dr. Terral has an outstanding reputation and it is well deserved. I am truly grateful to be his patient! He is the best Orthopaedic Surgeon by far!

Great case of staph infection, no culture done for several weeks, required revision surgery, on antibiotics 8 hours a day for 56 days. Only one star because zero was not a selection. Staff made many logistical errors, an absolute nightmare. Thankfully I still have a right leg thanks to infectious disease doctors at Providence in Mobile.
