Patient Reviews
Nov 16, 2022
He has good bedside manners, but is a terrible surgeon! I had a heart attack (after taking the covid-19 vaccine) & an impella device was implanted in my heart for a short time. When he removed it, he stitched the main artery to my right arm CLOSED! I was discharged & spent 3 weeks in agony. My right hand felt like I had extreme frost bite constantly. Finally, after I eventually convinced him something was terribly wrong, he went back in to *fix* his mistake (I never should've let that man touch me again, but everyone makes mistakes & I'm a very forgiving person) & in the process, he completely severed my brachial plexus nerves!! I am now permanently disabled!! I have no feeling or control of my right arm/hand & I'm in constant pain! I'm right-handed by the way. You have no idea just how MUCH you use your dominant hand until you no longer have any function of it. At my last appointment, I asked him if I'd ever regain use of my hand/arm again & he looked me in my eyes & said "probably not".... then he giggled. GIGGLED! My husband & I looked at each other in utter disbelief! I was crying uncontrollably & left his office. Think twice before you decide to let this man operate on you!!!
