I went to see Dr. Kirkner 15 years ago…read more
After examining me, he told me there was nothing he could do for me but, he felt that his partner, Dr. Burgio would be able to.
Dr. Burgio ended up replacing the bones in my ears. He told me, and he put in my file, that he used plastic prosthesis. I had to have an MRI and needed verification, I went to the office and it was in my files that he used plastic. The MRI was performed, the bones were found to be titanium and they were all pulled out of place.
I have spent the last 15 years of my life doing nothing but being dizzy, living with excruciating nausea, I throw up so much my teeth are falling out, and social security? Over the years, I am finally up to $790 a month...
I went to see Dr. Burgio right after my surgery and I told him what I was experiencing. His eyes bugged out of his head and in front of my then boyfriend and, my ten-year-old daughter, he told me to come and see him in a YEAR.
I called two months later and was told he was retired.
I searched for him for two years, and as soon as the statute of limitations was up I found him in Scottsdale Arizona, at a practice with 25 other neurosurgeons. I began writing and calling, only to be told that he never lived in Michigan, he never had a practice in Michigan, he never had a license to practice in Michigan he never operated on me he didn't know me...blah, blah, blah...everyone in Jackson, his former staff, his former patients, ALL remember him, but he swears he's never been in Michigan. Look him up, there are several addresses before he come to Jackson. I wonder who he screwed up all those times...
I have no equilibrium. I cannot function. My teeth are falling out of my head. I cannot help my daughter. I cannot help my grandsons. I raised my daughter on this money, and this money alone, as her father never paid a dime in child support. He, and his family are incredibly wealthy and have never helped...I cannot live this way any longer.
I went to see Dr. Kirkner a couple of years ago, he knows everything and waited for me to get home and had his secretary call and tell me there was nothing he could do.
These are horrible people, and will not help you after they f*** you up.
I am incredibly disgusted as I did my research BEFORE I stepped foot into this office.
