Doctor Hallows did a total hip replacement on me in April. Since then, I have totally pain-free in that part of my body and I could not be happier with the results I experienced. He is a great surgeon and I am happy to share my experience. Thank you so very much, Doctor Hallows!!!

Dr. Hallows did a total knee revision on me. I was amazed at how well I did after surgery with minimal pain. I was able to get up and walk hours after surgery. Awesome Dr.

My wife had total knee replacement done by Dr. Hallows. Procedure done at Duke Regional via NC Orthopedic. Everyone at each location was so meticulous and coordinated from before through recovery. DR 'Forward Motion' class really made us get prepared. We followed all instructions, and this you must do. Wife was in good shape from years at gym, good weight etc. This helped so much as well. We are not even one month out from surgery very happy. Don't believe all the scary stuff you'll hear. ?? ??

Dr. Hallows has poor communication skills. When he explained the results of an MRI of my knee, I left thinking it showed the opposite of the actual findings. Luckily the physial therapist I saw the next day clarified the actual diagnosis. When I shared the MRI report with my son, who is a radiologist, he confirmed the physical therapist's review. Perhaps if Dr. Hallows had reviewed the MRI results before he saw me, instead of looking at them for the first time in front of me at my appointment, he might have been better prepa... read more

Rhett Hallows did a right hip replacement and made my right leg 1" longer than the left one. It caused severe pain in my ankles, knees, hips, and back. He even knew there was a problem and wouldn't fix it. Four months later, another doctor saw the anomaly, saw I was miserable, and performed a revision. I had to wear a plastic brace for 3 months. His poor treatment cost me 2 years of my life and the cost of another surgery to get back to normal. The difference for me would have been if he had addressed the issue and corrected... read more

Dr Hallows has ruined my hip and life. He replaced my right hip on 9/11/2019. He casually didn't give me any hip precautions. It dislocated first in October and then he finally gave me hip precautions. Nevertheless, the hip dislocated again a month later in November of 2019. At that time he acknowledged that the implant was the wrong size and was in a wrong angle and it would dislocate again and again. I spent two weeks in a hip brace until he revised the hip on 12/13/2019. I would have preferred another surgeon but at that ... read more

Doctor prescribed my mother an NSAID when he knew she was on Lithium. This could have very well put her in the hospital with Lithium toxicity, and is baffling to me that he could make this first year medical student mistake. Staff was cavalier when I reported the issue and didn't even understand what the issue was, confusing it with liver toxicity. Stay away!

I had a hip replacement and acquired MRSA. Had to have a second surgery losing a liter of blood. Weeks of IV antibiotics. Dr Hallows did not call my family after either surgery to let them know I was in recovery and OK. I have never heard of a surgeon not contacting family post op.

Never go to this Dr! Dr Hallows put in a partial knee replacement and I continued to tell him I was in pain. After 6 months of pain and appointments he admitted he "might have put in off-center" Had to have a full knee revision to repair the knee.
