Dr. Anand Pravin Mehta, MD

I saw Dr. Mehta right after sustaining a muscle injury in the gym. He was convinced that I injured my shoulder (when in fact I found our=t later that I tore my pectoralis major muscle). I pointed to the balled up muscle in my chest area. He dismissed that. He did NOT prescribe a scan to validate his diagnosis. He did NOT refer me to a specialist. He told me to wear a sling, follow a rehabilitation regimen and see him in a month (big mistake). I saw him a month later. My pain was gone and I had my full range of motion restored. He high-fived me and indicated that I'm in good shape. I pointed again to the balled-up muscle in my chest area. He dismissed in again as inflammation. A month after that I wend to see another general practitioner because it just didn't feel right. He immediately thought I ruptured my pectoral muscle and gave me a referal to see an orthopedist. The orthopedist told me that because I waited too long, a simple repair to my pectoral muscle will no longer be… possible, and a more complicated and less effective surgery was the only option.
