Pure snake oil, uncaring treatment of patients, particularly elderly ones…read more
Unfortunately, the physiatrist M.D. Dr. Montag is not an orthopedic certified specialist, just a gel shot giver, which apparently is where the money is---but not any diminishment of pain.
Xrays and ultrasounds should have been given to identify the best courses of pain eradication, such as cortisone, for eg., but never were...leaving the pain to worsen and worsen and the patient to lose leg/knee function.
Nor was there ever a shred of follow-up. As a result, our elderly parent was basically left to rot.
We had the misfortune of dealing with another member of this practice, a Dr. Jendreck, and remember his having the hateful, uncaring attitude that advanced PT, necessary time at an in-patient rehab hospital, learning to use a cane, training in how to climb steps, and treatment for excruciating pain and leg swelling following a brutal fall were hardly necessary, because, in his mind, since our parent was already nearly 90 years old, it wasn't worth his time or effort!
Really? Our elderly parents and grandparents deserve much better care, respect, professionalism, and dignified, compassionate treatment than what we experienced from his horrid excuse for a practice!!
