Patient Reviews
Mar 11, 2025
He performed surgery on my child in 2006 to lengthen her achilles and hamstrings, at our first visit after surgery her REFUSED to order physical therapy, she was SEVEN YEARS OLD!!!! She walks with more difficulty now than before she had the surgery! Her own pediatrician wanted her to have PT but could not go over him. He was just SO arrogant about letting her learn to walk on her own and now I have an adult with extreme anxiety that is terrified she is going to fall every time she leaves the house!
