I had a similar experience as some of the previous reviews. I went to him because he promised a quicker recovery. Incision constantly drained after surgery. I had to take antibiotics for 3.5 months. I’m not a Dr, but maybe he should let the incision heal before insisting that I use a bike 2 days after surgery. Biking, sweating,movement just 2/3 days post op didn’t work out at all. Rehab took even longer with all the problems that I had trying to get my incision to heal.

Pushes rehab to fast after surgery. My wound drained for months which caused my recovery to take even longer.

Wants you to have surgery immediately so you don’t have time to get a 2nd opinion. I saw another Dr in the practice for another opinion and come to find out, I didn’t even need surgery.

Always late with no apology. Takes X-rays that are NOT necessary. Likes to make his charges as high as possible.
