Spent 90 seconds (maybe 2 full minutes, at most) with me in my post op. Said the x-ray "looks good". Didn't go into details. Had me do 2 movements and he expressed disappointed in my progress, though I've done pt every single day and have increased range of motion well over 90 degrees since surgery. Someone on his team put my thumb strap on my sling on so tight, it ended up injuring my thumb to where I couldn't use it for nearly a month. It also caused purple blood blisters which caused quite a bit of pain. He blamed it on my arm moving in the sling. Yeah, I don't think so Tony. I don't appreciate people lying to my face. I asked him to put a memo out so that doesn't happen to someone else. This guy might be a heck of a surgeon, but someone else should be speaking for him when dealing with patients in person. All I see is big ego and zero empathy. Seems like the doctor's time is a little too precious. It seemed he was ready to leave from the point of walking in. I do not recommend him.
