Nikhil Teppara

All I really need to say is that my mother was rushed to Baptist so the mistakes Dr. Teppara made in surgery could be corrected by another surgeon in an emergency scenario a few days later. It is also important to note that even though he described the surgery as difficult and the situation as much more complex than he anticipated, he never saw my relative again. According to her chart, one of his assistants came in and supposedly did a post op evaluation at 6 a.m. the day after. She has no knowledge of ever seeing this person. It is a bit of a mystery to me how you can effectively evaluate a post-op patient without speaking to them. We were very optimistic about the surgery, but to say it was a disappointing failure both in terms of the surgery and the after care would be an understatement. The surgeon who performed the repair surgery effectively stated that Dr. Teppara botched the surgery and that what he did was wrong and unacceptable. This opinion was freely offered without… solicitation.
