She did surgery on me last September. I'm still in amazing pain and unable to walk correctly. Can't run. She and tria are monsters. They need to be sued. Do not use her. I'm begging you to believe- she botched a routine surgery. I'm living a nightmare. She is evil. Laughed at me when I took off my cast.

No bedside manner. Doesn’t listen to patients.

Was not worth the four months it took for an appointment, to say the least. I got up and walked out on her after she laughed and called me crazy, cause she did not like, nor could answer a simple question.

Very poor surgeon. I had one foot surgery with her after an ankle dislocation. She opened the ankle up, looked around, removed a few vital ligaments, SPR and closed the site. Needless to say, when you remove parts you shouldn't and do a poor job of ligament repair the recovery doesn't go well. I suspect this is why she moves from practice to practice in the metro area. I had to go to a real foot and ankle specialist to repair her work and complete the work she ignored. Her best bet may be to return to Canada.

Spent over 1 year telling me to come back in 3 months for pulled tendon problem. Went for 2nd/3rd opinion to other orthopedic drs. who immediately saw I had neurological damage.

Doctor showed no empathy for patient's concerns and she expressed irritation at questions about diagnosis and followup. The brace technician to whom we were referred was equally unpleasant and unhelpful. This doc is recommended highly by physicians, so I'm guessing she is a skilled surgeon. The comment about her similarity to a marine interrogator is apt.

Dr. Wasserman has the patient care skills of a marine interrogator at Abu Grahv prison in Iraq. She is a poor listener, spends as little time with the patient as possible, shows little empathy for what a patient is experiencing, seems unfamiliar with how insurance works, comes across as impersonal and aloof. Not a good match up for anyone who wants answers to their medical issues or a supportive environmnet.
