The reviews listed below were collected independently of EmergeOrtho through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
You could tell from the moment we started talking that he didn’t want to be there and tried to be extremely short. You could also tell that he didn’t look at my X-rays or MRI, I asked certain questions and after a couple he got up and said he needed a second to go look at them…. He did revommend a shot but he said the only surgery I could hav is a hind foot fusion and that will permanently lock my foot in place and have no movement so I took him at his word. Well my family started doing some digging and found that it is t the only surgery I could have so I went to another surgeon and he confirmed what my family had found. Not to mention Matt didn’t even mention anything about the pieces of bone fragment’s that needed to be gotten out or mention my 2 fractures across the upper side of my foot.
