Excellent
Dr Kann is excellent - very kind & very skilled. I had ankle surgery 2 yrs ago by Dr. Hasselman at UPMC. Immediately out of anesthesia I had foot pain I never had before. It was consistent with nerve damage from a nerve block, but the surgeon denied it. I saw 2 other UPMC drs who also denied it, so I went untreated. I just saw Dr Jeffrey Kann who had me repeat my EMG with his tech, Kevin, who did the best EMG I’ve ever had done. Both Kevin & Dr. Kann confirmed I have less than 50% function in 2 tibial nerves consistent with damage from a nerve block. It’s shameful that not only did the UPMC doctors cover for each other for an injury they caused, but they put off treating me for 2 years & now it’s not treatable. Most of my foot hurts all day, every day now & probably will for the rest of my life. I’m way worse than I was before that surgery. I used to be a competitive athlete; now I struggle to even walk because of the pain. I wish I had gone to Dr Kann in the first place.
Doctor Jeffery Kann is a genius when it comes to knee surgery. I have seen a lot of doctors and he is the best doctor I have ever seen. I was blessed to have him as my doctor.
