Went to see Doctor Malhis with hip pain radiating down to knee. Symptoms were pain and difficulty standing. He never did a physical exam. After seeing x rays he said I needed two total knees, He the injected steroids into both knees. Felt better briefly until losing control of arm and both legs, No MRI had been done before I was bedridden. Went to neurosurgeon. MRI revealed three level cervical spine compression stenosis. Had cervical spine fusion but still have major nerve damage two years later. Malhis's misdiagnosis delayed treatment for 6 months. Even then the hip to knee pain was not relieved until receiving a sacroiliac pain bl;ck. Original pain complaint was diagnosed by pain doctor as lumbar spine arthritis. A pain block completely ended my knee/back pain. If I had not sought second opinion after Malhis I would have ended in a wheelchair.

My father had a knee replacement surgury done last year and the results were beyond our expectations. Very glad we had a concerned and competent doctor, and the outcome was just what we hoped for. Thank you!
