I've been seeing Dr. DiOrio for over 20 years(?!). He always listens, respects my opinion and doesn't rush to prescribe medicine when exercise, supplements or even acupuncture may work better. The only issue I have is that it is sometimes difficult to get in...he's a busy guy!

This is for Dr.Bright's new location in New Albany.I just had a routine physical/blood work this morning and could not be more pleased with my experience. Each one of the staff members were great to chat with and brightened my morning. Yvette was the MA to Dr Bright and was great chatting with her through the process. Dr Bright is an athlete himself so he understands whatever I am explaining to him as far as aches and pains. He also walks you through the entire visit's process even though it was a simple physical. I unfortunately didnt catch the woman who did the blood work but we had a laughing conversation and took the pain out of blood tests.Never thought I would leave...read full review

I am writing about another SportsMax location on Polaris Parkway - but they are one and the same organization with doctors working from multiple locations. I actually started at this location a LONG time ago (and about 3 doctors ago within this practice). My original doctor is still here (I think) but I changed when my office ended up right next to the Polaris location. I initially got connected to the practice through a referral to a doctor who had expertise in 2 areas I needed help with. The fact that it was sports medicine was just an added bonus.I appreciate their long hours and variety of doctors. They are also connected to PT which I've had to use upon occasion.My current doctor is younger than me - a female, not by requirement but she was available when the prior doctor (whom I didn't really like) left the practice. I had only seen him twice and I landed with him when I changed locations.I had to see my doctor this time as I needed a script renewed. I had the 7 AM appointment and was called back barely after sitting down after checking in.My stats were taken by the assistant and again - soon after she left the room the doctor appeared. NO WAITING! This is a MAJOR pain point for me as I'm a lawyer and my time is valuable. I've had some experiences recently at another doctor (specialist) where I had to get up and leave before even getting called back from the waiting room as I just couldn't waste any more of my time waiting. The frosting on the cake was that the office manager was SURPRISED when I left.Anyways, I have not encountered ANYTHING like this at Sports Max. They respect me and my time.My office moved downtown and I have stayed with the Polaris office. I would like to have a doctor near my home (Gahanna), but OhioHealth doesn't seem to have anything there - and Sports Max definitely does not. As a result, I'll stay with SportsMax and the inconvenient drive up as long as they keep their scheduling accurate and get me in and out quickly!
