He put a nerve block needle into the top middle of my right thigh for my ruptured achilles surgery and he left my 1st b4 toes numb and unable to use. I’ve stayed quiet for far too long, trying to convince myself that what happened to me after the surgery you performed on my right Achilles was somehow normal, acceptable, or just “part of the healing process.” But the truth is simple: you permanently damaged me — and then dismissed it. I came to you trusting your expertise. I expected to get better. Instead, I walked away with four numb toes, a non-functioning calf, and a completely altered life. I can't run, jump, or even do a basic calf raise. I can't play the sports I once loved. That part of my life is over. And yet, I’m told everything is fine. No. Everything is not fine. Everything is shattered. What was supposed to be a routine recovery has turned into a daily reminder of how careless and dismissive this process became. I was never truly heard, never given honest answers, and… certainly never treated with the level of urgency or empathy this situation demanded. You may go on to see dozens of other patients and forget my name. But I live with the consequences of your work every single day — every time I try to move like I used to and simply can’t. I hope this message stays with you. Not just as a note from a “dissatisfied patient,” but as a person whose life was altered by your decisions. The least you could do is acknowledge what happened and stop pretending that numbness, weakness, and permanent loss of function are “just fine.”
