The reviews listed below were collected independently of Orthopedic Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Came in for a Cyst in my right knee. I expressed concerns of my knee pain radiating to my ankle and foot. He dismissed it immediately and started referring to the scan. He read my scans from 2015 like they were from this past May. I asked if he was looking at the scans from 2015. He said no these are from this last May. I had to correct him using the dates on the scan he was using. Once he realized that he seemed to slow down and listen more actively. Said if the cyst has traveled to the nerve it may be causing the ankle pain. He then ordered another CT so we didnt really get anywhere. I would just ask that he slow down and pay attention to detail.

From Dr. Hermanson A good friend of mine in medical school was two years older and when he started his orthopedic surgery residency, he sat me down in the library and went through what he called, the ‘spectrum of medicine.’ On one end of the spectrum are fields of medicine where there is a lot of time and resources spent trying to figure out what the patient’s diagnosis is, but then there often aren’t good treatment options. On the other end is orthopedic surgery. We typically know what the problem is and can spend most of our time helping the person with the problem and can really impact his or her quality of life. As my friend stated, ‘We can’t help everyone but we can help most.’ It’s a very special thing to help someone alleviate pain, improve function, and improve overall quality of life
