He practices at both the Brownsburg and West 86th, Indy, location. He recognized my issue immediately and offered a temporary, non-surgical and surgical option. Since I had the non-surgical option for 3 years, I opted for surgery. Dr. Vicar is a board certified physician practicing for over 35 years with extensive training and several afflilations. He was on-time, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. He has a great personality and sense of humor plus explained the surgery thoroughly. The surgical option is a minor surgery and done under a local anesthesia. I know, that sounds scary but he reassured me I would only feel a pinch for a couple seconds. I trusted him even though the last trigger finger surgery I had was done under full anesthesia. Surprisingly, I was comfortable with the local and did not feel any pain. The surgery was performed at OrthoIndy, off of West 86th Street. Everything from check-in, surgery, to recovery went smoothly and all the staff were phenomenal as well as team players. Dr. Vicar was very calming and laid back during the surgery chatting with the team and myself. I was extremely pleased with the entire process and if needed, I'll return to him in the future. The post-op appointment to remove the stitches went just as smoothly and quickly, too. Dr. Vicar mainly repairs hand, wrist and elbow injuries. Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, fractures (hand & distal radius), tennis elbow, athletic with throwing injuries or those nasty fingertip injuries (i.e. car doors) are a few of the diagnoses he repairs. If Dr. Vicar doesn't handle, he can refer you to one of the many different physicians within OrthoIndy. Overall, this was a successful procedure with a quality surgeon and team.

My boyfriend and I started seeing her around the same time and he had great reviews about her too. I had nothing but trouble (because I'm a female?) from her and her office.

After having been a patient of Franciscan Health's Wound Care Institute on two separate occasions…read morenow, including for over a year currently, I've decided to update my review with a slight downgrade. Dr. Joyner is director of Franciscan Health's Wound Care Institute, a clinic located in the outpatient services building that specializes in treating chronic, traumatic, and non-healing wounds. I saw Dr. Joyner for a visit or two after my late 2019 upper leg amputation and was generally quite pleased as it felt like she was realistic in treatment and not obsessive like some wound care doctors who tend to want to see you 2-3 times weekly. For my most recent care, I was referred to Dr. Joyner in October 2021 by my primary care physician due to having acquired a fairly significant wound on my right leg stump. I was having a hard time seeing and reaching it and it was obviously infected and starting to swell. To be honest, I was starting to fear additional amputation. Dr. Joyner was initially concerned about infection and lined up an infectious disease physician to consult. He put me on aggressive antibiotics and we got that under control for the most part. My leg has significantly improved, however, thus far we've been unable to get the wound to completely close. We're using consistent compression and have considered a couple different compression pumps. I have a small circle of friends who help me bandage and wrap the wound every couple of days. My appointments have ranged from every couple weeks to monthly. Dr. Joyner is a Franciscan Health physician employed by the network. While I consider Dr. Joyner to be knowledgeable, personable, and pretty matter-of-fact about treatment options, I'll admit that I've become somewhat bothered by some aspects of care like nurses who wrap/bandage the wound poorly (multiple times wraps/bandages have fallen off before I even get home). At times, it seems like the care regimen is forgotten from appointment to appointment. There's also referrals to equipment without regard to ability to actually get it (for example, a recent compression pump referral had a $1,700 co-pay). At my most recent appointment, I was essentially told that we'd done everything other than possible surgical revision, though with the wound being not infected and stable that didn't seem like a reasonable option. I've also had some issues with billing, though I don't necessarily hold Dr. Joyner responsible for that. However, as the director of the clinic it still is worth mentioning. It's hard to give an enthusiastic recommendation when the primary reason for my seeing her is left unresolved over a year later. There are definitely good things here, however, I feel like there's missing support - perhaps physical therapists to assist with compression and wrapping and a better handle on available supplies. In the end, I have to say this has become one of my more frustrating experiences with Franciscan and one of the very few experiences I'd be unlikely to recommend. However, I do know that Dr. Joyner handles significant wound care in the clinic and so this may simply be that rare occasion when treatment doesn't work. Regardless, I still feel like a 3-star rating is more accurate after my most recent experiences.

These patients sing praises about Forte, from the doctors to the nurses to the efficient people at the front desk. From a visitor's point of view, Forte is great. They are very straightforward with their instructions, which I appreciate. Just tell me what to do and what to expect, and I'll do it and expect it. Everything went pretty much according to what they said. They have a smoothly running system here. Visitors can help themselves to the unlimited coffee and water at the coffee and water station. This is where the Little Free Library is located! The waiting room also has multiple seating arrangements, from high-top desks to comfy chairs to love seats. Or, if you need something to eat or drink, there's a cafe on the first floor. (See my separate review for La Verna Cafe.) The waiting room is airy and bright. One thing that's kinda weird is that a "cruise director" comes and talks about what to expect with your surgery ... right in the waiting room, among all those random people. That seems unusual, right? However, there are private rooms that you're taken to when the time comes to talk about your particular case with the doctor. As a visitor who is not a patient, Forte is great. But I've been told that it's also great being a patient here, so there's that.
