out of my 25 years of constantly being in many doctors offices with many doctors and nurses, he was the ONLY doctor who listened to my story, gave me thoughtful and useful advice, and did a AMAZING surgery on my back. i highly recommend this doctor for any orthopedic problem!

When he heard I had a problem with the prior hip replacement he brought in a witness and became very defensive of himself and his profession. He defended a doctor he did no know or had even heard of. He missed a diagnosis that the next doctor made after two minutes of looking at the x-rays. A rating of -5 would be more accurate.

Please stay away from this "doctor" and NEVER let him near you if you need surgery. Performed possibly the worst surgery EVER on a loved one. Had to give him 1 star as it is required to rate this "doctor" but he needs a -10 star.

My experience with this "dr" was a nightmare. He did an emergency operation on my leg with pins and rods. The pin in my knee practically stuck through the skin. He refused to prescribe proper pain medication. When I went to his office to talk to him about it, I brought a friend. He insisted on bringin staff into the room as witnesses, violating my rights to confidentiality. His staff is rude and uniformed. If you want a bad surgeon and a bad experience, definitely go to him, and bad is what you will get. He thinks he is Elvis Presly! I am surprised he has not been sued for malpractice. I should have sued him, but I was working to hard to heal at the time. Karma works though, and here is the truth of my experience. Ugh!
