Twice he sent me to another ortho doc because he didn't know the cause of my swelling and pain 6 Mos and a year after surgery. It was my kneecap that had moved.

Healing process was terrible. He seamed frustrated and made it feel as if it was my fault when I followed all instructions. I'm now 3+ months post surgery and still tending the wound. Need my other knee done asap but will definitely find another surgeon.

Such a good doctor, he did surgery on my knee. He did such a great job that I referred my husband to him when he needed knee surgery.

The man is very inaccurate in his diagnosis. He used an MRI that was unable to be read correctly because it was unclear. He never admitted to that and told me what he could see. He had his office staff tell me I needed to deal with the pain I had. He returned me to work when I was completely not ready and acted like he thought it was funny.
