This was over the course of rougly two years. I was initially told to do the usual of nsaids and to change my socks. I return several times following the protocol of X-rays, physical therapy, MRI ECT. During this time he was habitually late to appointments (particularly in the early morning), lacked adequate communication, would cancel appointments sporadically and otherwise be difficult to get meaningful communication from.After he had indicated that the MRI was normal and my knee pain persisting, I elected to go out in town for a second opinion. I was found to have a 23mm full cartilage tear with improper patellar tracking. I was offered to have surgery within the month. The Dr who directed… me to my orthopedic surgeon was amazed that this was missed by any medical professional, my orthopedic surgeon had much more colorful language.I encourage any patient or potential patient to be wary and avoid.
