I had 2 surgeries done by him on my clavicle both failed to fix the problem. Had to go to another surgeon that actually knew what he was doing to get more surgery. Know of multiple other people who had surgeries done by him that didn't work. Suggest finding a different dr.

ACL surgery nightmare, knee not fully functional years after procedure, please explore your options if young and athletic. don't be afraid to seek multiple surgical opinions, sometimes in a bigger market city area the standard of care is much greater along with outcomes.

Dr. Lissy's bedside manner is awesome. I disagree with anyone who would say he has a condescending attitude towards women. His demeanor is compassionate and explains everything in detail!

I believe Dr Lissy is very condescending to females. He comes off as very pompous. I believe he is a knowledgeable physician, however he needs to tone down his inflated ego.
