Shekhar A. Dagam, MD - New hardware that had to be placed

I know he is no longer practicing but just in case he decides to restart I wanted to review…read more Back in the early 2000's he did an emergency back surgery and I was great for roughly 10 years and then I had to have additional surgeries (through no fault of his) with different providers due to him being private practice and at the time my insurance was tied to my employer which was a large hospital corporation thus making him outside of network. Fast forward to 2023 and he did an extension of my fusion. I knew something was wrong when fentanyl was not helping the pain. I did a second and third opinion and based on multiple imaging reports found out that Dr Dagam placed the screws too deep thus they were pushing into my spinal column and had cut rods from my previous surgery. In March of this year I underwent an extensive surgery removing the old, misplaced hardware and had it all replaced and extended due to the damage. I can no longer work, enjoy the activities I used to do daily and will always regret seeking him out.

Dr. Dagam performed the Ifuse procedure on my right SI joint in July of 2019. He also performed the…read morerevision surgery 4 months after he botched the first procedure. Dr. Dagam forced too many rods in my small frame during the original surgery, leaving me literally fractured and in more pain than before seeing him. He then gaslighted me for 3 months when I'd complain at visits before he finally sent me for further tests and found his error after consulting with another colleague. At the end of it all I have permanent nerve damage in my right leg and was forced to medically retire from the military. Do NOT trust this man, I was foolish enough to do it twice and have regretted it every day of my 39 year old life since.

Found out son had a cyst in his head that was altering the overall structure as well as…read moredisplacement of a major artery. Went to see Dr. Reichert as a second opinion due to his ratings. After waiting an hour past our appointment time, he spent approximately 5 minutes (NOT kidding) with us. He came in the room, said "any headaches" (to which my son responded "yes"), with Dr. Reichert's response of "I'm not doing surgery because you don't need it." Didn't bring up his MRI results or discuss them, didn't talk about any of his structural abnormalities, didn't ask "how are you," didn't listen to any concerns, didn't ask if we had questions, kept tapping on the exam table - slouched and leaning back in the office chair - completely unprofessional, cocky, disrespectful, NO bedside manners, treated us like we didn't know anything (I myself have a medical degree as an NP), didn't even assess my son(!), opened the door, and walked us out of the room. I would NEVER recommend this provider to absolutely anyone. I have no idea who would rate him so highly, but I really hope that you look to other providers to have an understanding of what one would be like if they had their patient as the focus of attention, during an office visit that I am paying for, related to a pretty significant issue.

Not what I expected. Exceeded my expectation…read more I had to complete and bring some paperwork (medical history, etc.) and a CD with two CT scans. I thought it better to submit them prior to the app't so the Dr. might have a chance to review BEFORE my visit. How could he go through all that and the scans during the app't, which I expected to be 15-20 minutes? The doctor saw me within 10-15 minutes of my appointment time and spent over 45 minutes speaking (and listening) to me, doing a brief physical exam, and then reviewing, in detail, the CT scans of my cervical and lumbar regions. He didn't review the scan in advance. He spent the time to review them with me. I was not there to proceed with any particular action or surgery. I was there to CONSULT and strategize whether to take action now (I'm 67), or wait some years, maybe 10 or whatever, to live with my ongoing condition/s (I've had a discectomy and fusion already) and take action at some later date. Dr. King understood all that, and considering the complete Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) I have, he recommended we take a wait and see approach on the surgery. He did refer me to Dr. Doniparthi in the Pain Management clinic to again CONSULT the possibility of an injection or trigger point therapy. (I have seen her more than once before and had injections before). I did follow up with her the very next day and her assessment was basically the same - no assurance that any injection would help... might help, might not. So... wait and see as long as I could continue to function as is. I was very pleased that I was listened to, that a conservative approach was considered and taken, and will return to Dr. King, if and when, I deteriorate to needing some intervention.

Let me just say that I just retired from the military and have never been to another VA Hospital…read morefor care. However, I have been to other hospitals and to be quite honest I was not expecting this place to be very good. My providers have been great at active listening and then ensuring all my concerns are heard. There is also a resident there that saw me the other day after I had emergency dental surgery elsewhere and she was amazing. She even let me know that she did not like some of the symptoms I had been having but wanted to keep an eye on them. Told me to call back if they keep persisting. Ran a blood test to see if I had an active infection and that I should have the results the next day. I kid you not, I got in the car and about 15 minutes later my Dr. called and let me know that my labs were fine. That's impressive! They also have valet parking which is very helpful since it can be a bit of a nightmare trying to find parking there. But everyone I talked to or interacted with there was nothing short of kind and helpful so far.

I've always received good care and treatment from the staff at the VA Zablocki Medical Center.

If I could get this clinic negative stars, trust me, I would, by far the most inappropriate and…read moreunprofessional clinic I've ever been to. We were. Directed to this clinic for a new physician my husband wanted to try out. After the first experience, we will not go back. It started off with the staff being very rude in the front desk, those little girls had the nastiest attitude ever by far ruined our day as soon as we walked in very unprofessional do not know what they are doing, or how to speak to people very horrible customer service! I don't know what the girls name was that was attending me, but it was the two younger girls who are Latina and have the windows as soon as you enter.. they just made everything feel like we were unwelcome. Then when we were called to the back, they had to take my husband's vitals before we headed into the room. It looked like a playground back there ... to be very honest with you. I don't think half of the people working back. There are even certified. The physician his self was an OK doctor, but it seemed like he was in a rush he didn't know my husband, and it was his first time with him, but he didn't ask many questions. He just prescribed him a whole bunch of medication's. We wanted to be heard, instead of throwing all these drugs at. Then on the way out, we had to make a follow up appointment and again with the same two little girls. Was not a good experience then as well. It is just very unprofessional here. However, the pharmacy in that building is pretty quick pretty fast and the girls at the register are nicer. I will say the only thing smooth about that visit was receiving our medication's at the pharmacy. We wanted to get out of there right away. I feel like this clinic is not going to be here long.
