Dr. Lisa Marie Geheb Vopat, MD

I felt like Dr. Vopat seemed distracted and adequate time was not spent with me. I had X-rays taken before she came into room and she never told me the results. Did she even look at them? I had forgotten to inquire while I was there. I also really wanted an injection...that wasn’t even an option. I just felt rushed. I received a Velcro brace and “go to PT”. Maybe she was having a bad day but like I said, I didn’t feel like I received the attention needed. My bad for not writing things down before my visit...maybe there would have been more answered questions.

I saw Dr. Lisa Vopat for a chronic shoulder injury. She diagnosed it as upper biceps tendonitis and sent me to physical therapy. I saw the therapist and did the therapy assiduously with no improvement to the condition. Then, because I thought I had tendonitis. I did an exercise I shouldn't have been doing, further exacerbating my injury. I saw Dr, Vopat again and she ordered an M.R. arthrograph. This procedure revealed that I had a SLAP tear, and a torn rotator cuff, but only a hint of tendonitis. I saw Dr, Vopat again, and, not only did she not apologize for her misdiagnosis--causing me months of pain, and a great deal of lost time and effort--she didn't even acknowledge that a misdiagnosis occurred. If you want a correct diagnosis, or a doctor who will admit and apologize when he or she's wrong, I would recommend seeing another doctor.

Had a 10 a.m. appointment for my daughter's athletic physical. We were kept waiting for over an hour with no explanation and no updates. I finally had to find a nurse and ask how much longer it would be as I had an 1145 appt back at work. Dr. Vopat finally arrived in the room at 11:23 a.m., one hour and 23 minutes past my appt time with no explanation, no apology. Dr. Vopat spend about 5-7 minutes examining my daughter.
