But the waiting room in mid-March 2021...eleven people. No windows open despite the warm spring air. Some people had no masks. You know. For the second appointment, I called up and asked the receptionist if they could just call us on our cell when it was our turn. We would be waiting out front in our car. The receptionist acted like it would not be possible to do so. I reminded her of the existence of cell phones. She actually asked me why we wanted to wait outside. I told her about this thing that was occurring, oh yeah, a pandemic. I told her that my daughter had anxiety. She put me on hold to ask someone else if serving the basic needs of certain patients was acceptable. It was. I did not have to use my trump card- disability. After the call, I looked up the CDC's waiting room guidelines during a pandemic. They were still in effect, and yes, you can wait outside if you want to. Plus, there was too many people in the waiting room. Add the encouraged walk-ins and you have a big problem. And ventilation is a plus in an area rife with exhales. One star removed for the denier of science who depends on people utilizing science to earn a paycheck. That's gotta hurt.

I had suffered for many years with bad pain in my hips and legs. Everyone, including other doctors,…read moreassumed it was my hips. But, yet I kept being told that my hips weren't bad enough for surgery. I switched to S.E. Sports Medicine and was immediately diagnosed with Trendelenburg Gait, meaning my glueteus medius and gluteus minimus tendons were ripped and torn from the bone. After an MRI which clearly verified my condition, Dr. Matthew Wham said that he could repair this. Because of my age, he couldn't be sure of the damage and atrophy until he got into the surgery, but he was hopeful. The surgery went VERY well! The 8 inch incision with 20 or more staples hardly hurt at all, and I am a real pain wuss. In 3 days I was up and using a walker, and I am in a brace from my hip to my knee for 2months, but I can tell that my previous constant pain down my right hip and leg is gone. Dr. Wham is amazing, and I would advise you to goggle him for his specialties and se if he can change your life, too!

I decided to make an appointment instead and she asked "what body part?" and I told her my hip, then she told me the first available appt was in 16 days! so I opted to wait.... And I waited...and waited. I watched an older gentleman walked in 45 mins or an hour after me and heard him being told that there were 15 people in front of him, yet he was called 20 minutes before me!!! Then I watched more and more people get called that came long after me...and I kept approaching the desk and they would say "you're next, they're preparing your room" and then they'd call another person that came in an hour after me, and then another and another. First I was told there was only two doctors, then that there were surgeons and they had to see certain (walk in?) clients and then they said there were 12 doctors?! After being in there for 2 hours freezing to death in their ice cold waiting room shivering uncontrollably, I truly started to lose it and they finally took me back! I don't know if I was bumped intentionally or what, but things are not run fairly there. I love Dr. Gabarino, and I would give him five stars, but their "call system" is an unfair mess and almost traumatizing! After finally getting out of there 2 1/2 hours later, a lady exiting at the same time as me, had exactly the same experience as me. She was also a walk-in and saw people get called that had arrived as a walk-in looooong after she had been there and seemed be getting bumped, while she was frozen to bone in their waiting room wondering why she had not been called. I used to love this Clinic, but this was truly a miserable experience. No, don't ever go as a walk in. Make an appt or don't go at all.

Since surgery was required I was to meet with the surgeon. First appt- after arriving early per the office's request, I wanted long after my scheduled appt time and finally had to leave as the surgeon never showed up. Rescheduled my appt for 2 weeks out and received a message that the surgeon had a meeting to attend and she would not make my appointment and they needed to reschedule. I understand things come up but this office has no concern for their patients time, no empathy or regard that their patients also have lives outside of the ortho office! I'd suggest you find another physician that cares about you and your time! (For what it's worth, this seems to be a pretty common thread here! A little communication would go a long way!!)
