Ian Fyfe, MD

My surgery did not go well at all. Only God knows the truth of why it went so badly but my quality of life is greatly diminished. Dr. Fyfe has never spoken one word to me.

Does not take responsibility for serious mistakes.

Dr Fyfe did a knee arthroscopy on both knees in 2017 at the Bismarck location. Did awesome work on my knees. Zero bedside manner. Explained nothing. Came in prior to surgery, said not a word. Started writing on my knees, then left. I was thinking, what the heck?? Is he autographing patients? I had no cue. Turns out, I was told later, surgeons mark their patients to avoid mixups. Fine. Whatever. After surgery, again, no communication for aftercare. I heard through word of mouth, he was angry because I went to PT without him signing off on it. Hes really good at the technical aspect of surgery, but his communication skills SERIOUSLY suck. If he relies on his "staff" to communicate his plans, then they ALL dropped the ball. I called to discuss the possibility of doing a TKA on the knee that was the worst, whomever I talked to on the phone said hes no longer practicing in Bismarck. I asked, where did he go? They lied again, and said "We dont know". Not sure what the game is with his… office, or him, or whoever is responsible, but it was odd. I was a good patient, complied with all I knew to do. Just bizarre.

The nurse is horrible. I almost switched Drs because of her

Dr. Fyfe is good at what he does! I had very little pain after surgery and no bruseing ! I recommend him to any body having knee surgery!
