Orthopedists - Rochester, NY

"It sickens me to be forced to give one star! I recently had my 3rd knee replacement on the same knee in less than 4 years, due to this god awful surgeon! I could write pages with what this man has put me thru! To start, he was not my first choice. My own ortho was unavailable for the first two surgeries. I had no choice for the second one, no doctor would take on his screwups, especially twice and Covid started. He said I was in great health, forsees no problem and to add, when there was an issue, he blamed me! I started loosening after a year, he actually saw it on my first xray, but never told me, waited till I was in extreme pain! His cover up was he "supposedly" used defective cement! He also used a surgical tape on my incision that I was extremely allergic to. Second surgery, he was beyond clueless! I pleaded with him not to use the same tape and of course he did! I also had a large glob of glue on my calf which took 2 days for the nurse and myself to dig out, which left a hole. He also put me in a full leg brace, which did more harm than good! My recoveries were absolutely horrible! Not a year later, it happend again, I was loosening! I refused to go near this incompetent, unprofessional, phony ever again! Thankfully, I was able to get my OWN doctor for my third surgery. He stated the implant that was used was completly wrong for me and broke in pieces, which lengthened my surgery. This doctor has made the past 4 years of my life unbearable! His famous last words after office visits were "go live your life". I can FINALLY say, I am livng life and thanking my OWN SURGEON for it!!! ** I met someone last year who had arm surgery 3 years ago and she's still in pain."
