dr
siedman performed left hip replacement on me. when i went for my first after surgery appt. dr. siedman informed me i had broken femur!!!! he was paniced about it , to put it mildly. i was in shock. he immediately told his nurse to book an o.r. on friday ( this was on monday), to try and fix this monumental failure! he then leaves the room for awhile. he comes back in and says he needs to talk to his partners about it and he'll call me later in the day. i think ,ok, that sounds fine. then at 10pm .....yes....10pm that night he calls me!!!! he says they think this will heal itself, and no surgery. i live alone and my family lives far away. i really had no one looking out for me. being ignorant of what was really going on, i trusted this dr., which was my first, no second mistake. the first was going to this hack in the first place. he'd been referred by my nurse at another dr.office that i knew and trusted.
i went to see him once a month after that. he kept wanting me to get lifts for my shoes. i was in epic pain and this is what he's concerned with! he wanted me to go to p.t.,which i'd have gladly done. except when you're in chronic pain from.....wait for it....a broken femur....p.t
ain't going to help. i knew this! obviously dr.seidman did not!!! i should've gone else where, but like a fool i trusted this guy!! i mean he's a doctor, right!!! silly me! after six months, i was not any better. at that six month appt., i asked him if i could get an mri. get this....he said no!!! i could not believe this hack!!! i finally got some sense and walked out of his office! best decision i ever made!!! having dr. seidman as my dr. was one of the worst choices i've ever made!!! he could've cared less about me!! i think he was petrified when he saw he'd made a huge mistake. he and his partners probably would've had to pay for surgery to fix my femur out of their own pockets!!! dr. seidman never even contacted me after i walked out!!! thank god, i was lucky enough to find emory orthopedics. usually drs. don't like to fix other drs. mistakes, so i've been told. dr. goeltzer was wonderful to me. i saw the look on his face when he looked at my xray. he was shocked!!! so i had to go thru another entire hip replacement surgery because dr. seidman totally botched my first one!!!! my advice here is do not, under any circumstances go to academy orthopedic s and, especially do not go to dr seidman.
