This guy decided to cut corners with my labrum. The labrum was degenerated but Banffy did not do augmentation on it but instead cut the leftover 3mm native labrum wrapped it in a suture and attached to the bone. The result is that i have micro-instability and in worse pain than before the surgery. He should be prosecuted for malpractice! The other guy once noted he did something on his sholder other than they agreed (cut out brusa instead) I will tell you why he is doing it - because he is overbooked and greedy. When it was my turn to roll to the surgery Banffy was exhausted form the previous operation and decided to save time on me...

Dr. Banffy is a very good Doctor. But beware " workers comp" friends his staff does not care about your well being!!! I injured my knee and even though I had been seen by Dr. Banffy before, I tried to schedule an appointment with him for 10 weeks. His staff found every excuse not to schedule and always did not return messages. I finally had enough and made an appointment with another doctor within a week!
