I requested a referral to this Doctor, excellent references from my Cardiolgy physician and a friend. He handle my hurt leg really rough, no consideration for my pain. Twisted, lifted my leg abruptly without any compassion for my pain. I’m using a cane, accused me of self diagnosing and rudely suggested I lose weight. I will file a complaint and have him become accountable for treating me like I was a dead animal. I’m completely disabled from his examination. I’m icing my just leg, knee, and back.

His office charges 25 dollars per form to be filled out for SDI or WC claims. With that 25 dollars you do NOT get speed. It takes 5 business days or 1 week to get them back. His office staff does not give him messages when you call asking about drug prescriptions and dosages either.

I have to say that I was treated by an outstanding physician. My surgery went well and my recovery now has me now back to full capabilities. He is considered one of the finest Orthopedic Physicians around. If I had future needs, I would head straight to his office. I heard from others who been treated by him and they too report he is outstanding. He is very smart and deeply concerned for the welfare of his patients.
