Louis A. Bley, MD

I have done two ACL surgery with Dr Bley. Main reason I am not happy with it is the follow up, I felt I was on my own after surgery, the office and team seems careless. I was in pain and My stiches was torn and bloody.

I visited Dr. Bley with knee pain concerns. He struggled to find anything wrong with me, then sent me for a rare genetic blood test. After waiting several hours, the nurses indicated that the bloodwork was unavailable since the genetic test was typically clinically diagnosed. Upon researching further I do not fit the profile AT ALL for the genetic disease. Before the appointment I had to argue with the staff to see him since I hadn't done X-Rays beforehand. Of course no X-Rays were needed!

Dr. Bley treated me with the utmost care and respect and then proceeded to repair my torn quad tendon with great skill. My recovery has been rapid and problem free due to Dr. Bley's competence and attention to important details.

I have been playing soccer long enough to know a lot of friends who experienced knee injuries, so when I ruptured my patellar tendon I received a number of recommendations for orthopedic surgeons. I was a bit disappointed when my primary care physician told me that she had to refer me to a surgeon in their practice rather than one of the doctors I requested, but I opted to see Dr. Bley before going somewhere else. One visit was all it took and I was sold. He has a great bedside manner; he is friendly, confidence inspiring and decisive. My surgery went well and I am back playing soccer again - no small feet now that I am 40. It is a tough injury so it was a long road back and it will never be quite the same, but I am more than happy with Dr. Bleyâ??s work and where my knee is today.

Fixing torn rotator cuffs and torn labrums In both shoulders wasn't something I looked forward to and the first 7-10 days afterwards was pretty unpleasant, but it's been almost 10 years since the procedures and I'm very glad I had them repaired. No pain, no limitations and they are both 100%.

A very pleasant, friendly, unpretentious guy, a terrific surgeon, and an excellent listener with a good sense of humor and great patience and kindness. What more could one ask?

Dr. Bley repaired one shoulder for me four years ago. Everything went like clockwork and my shoulder has been back to normal for a long time. He was quite cautious about what he allowed me to do after the surgery, which was very helpful. When I tore the rotator cuff on the other side this summer, he repaired that one for me as well. Now 7 weeks post-op, I am well on my way to another full recovery. I'm very pleased with his skill and care and would see him again for any other orthopedic issue. I am also a physician and appreciate how well his staff works together. Great surgeon, great staff.

Mr. Bley is a very confident man. He will tell you within the first five minutes what he thinks the problem is, but expresses it as a firm diagnosis. Unfortunately I followed through with surgery on my legs- compartment syndrome with decompression surgery as the solution. This is a dated procedure and improperly diagnosed. I know have permanent nerve damage in my feet and lower legs. I have a hard time standing for more than five minutes. My feet have multiple issues. I have blood flow issues now as well in my legs. It was a night mirror. I cannot warn you enough- stay away from this man. He operates to quickly without proper alternatives. I am only 28 and loved athletics. I will live without feeling in my legs for the rest of my life. I will have further complications in my legs for the rest of my life. The blood flow in me entire body is now dysfunctional. I hope to warn anybody to please stay away from this awful person. Hopefully nobody else will have to experience what I did.

I have relly bad knees and decided to go see Bley (even though he shows up only once a week to this office) since I live close to this office. He ordered MRI of only one knee even though I told him I had pain in BOTH knees and the apin wasn't the same in both. His response was that MRIs are expensive and that he'll know more when he takes a look at one of the knees. Fast forward 3 visits later, he orders MRI of the other knee as well. In the meantime, without looking at the results properly, he suggests a lateral release (which is only 65% effective), and does not gaurantee that I will feel better!. I decided not to go in for that, after which he orders other x-rays and more MRIs. My last and final visit with him - he tells me that I have cartilage issues on my femur on both knees. And once earlier, he had told me I had wear and tear on my patella (on my left) and femur (on my right). So when I questioned him, he said, he doesn't know what he discussed with me earlier, and he'd have to… go back and look. At one of the appts, he was running over an hour behind, and so I went to the front desk to reschedule. He was walking down the hallway that same instant, and said he could see me right then. Walked in the exam room with me, totally unprepared to discuss my test results...asked me how I was feeling and just listened to my problems (AGAIN). No suggestions, nothing. Asked me to schedule another appt the following week. In the last and FINAL appointment (which was the 6th visit with him) he referred me to another surgeon for a second opinion and said I could choose him or the other surgeon to perform surgery on me. And then he said he doesn't care who I choose since he has a LOT of OTHER patients wanting and waiting to see him. This was totally unwarranted, in my opinion.
