Your PA was fabulous but apparently you are a figment of my imagination. The two times I came to see you for my shoulder and my hip. The shoulder you flew into the exam room and the hip I never saw you at all. It would be nice if you at least show your face and act like you care for what you get paid.

Mar-2021
Poor communications. Was told after clavicle repair in May2020 that bone was solid with plates installed. 3 weeks after surgery had to open and replace internal sutures due to reaction. At 7 weeks was informed screws had pulled out of plate as I was leaving office from my visit. Was never provided limitations or options for improving healing. I inquired about bone stimulator to get one. I limited myself on movement and lifting per recommendations found on internet. Started taking calcium supplements on my own. In December 2020 was told bone had attached and was healing. Was told I had no limitations. Had a bubble pop up at incision site in March 2021. Went in and had X-ray. Now I am informed I have a non union fracture and bone is not attached!?! Only option to make it right is to start over. The communication and lack of direction from this office is completely unacceptable. I will never go back
