Dr. Ravneet Biring, MD

I had a popliteal nerve block performed by Dr. Ravneet Biring before a cheilectomy. After surgery, I developed extreme numbness, nerve pain, and muscle atrophy that I did not have before the procedure. EMG and Nerve Conduction testing later confirmed a nerve injury involving the distal sciatic nerve and its peroneal and tibial branches. I have lived with debilitating nerve pain for nearly 2 years and still have numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in my foot that prevent me from doing many activities I enjoyed before surgery. Most upsetting was the lack of follow-up. I filed a patient complaint with NAPA regarding my concerns and was told I would receive a response within 30 business days. It took 6 months of repeated calls and filing a BBB complaint before I received a response stating my case had been reviewed and denied. The lack of timely response created a significant barrier to getting the treatment I needed, and I was left to navigate and finance treatment myself.
