I have been a patient of Brielle Orthopedics for years. Last year, on Memorial day weekend, I injured my knee: damaged the cartilage in the weight bearing portion of my knee. I was being treated by Dr. Law. We tried treating with medicine and physical therapy, but I was not getting any better. Ultimately, Dr. Law said a knee scope was the only option. I had surgery on July 11, 2018; a Pick Microfracture Chondroplasty. I was non weight-bearing and on crutches for 6 weeks. I weaned off crutches and then to a cane, and finally came off the cane in November. I never stopped feeling pain. Every post-op visit, I told Dr. Law I didnt feel as if I was getting better and wasn't sure the surgery worked. He was very dismissive of my claims and kept saying it was a picture perfect surgery and he couldn't have asked for it to go better. His bedside manner is in serious need of improvement. The only times he appeared to be kind were when my husband was present for the visits. But, I was willing to see past that so long as he could fix my knee. Although he initially told me he would discharge me at 6 months, he actually discharged me at 4 and a half months. Confused with the discharge since I was still in pain, I questioned this and he told me if I wanted my knee to feel better, I should lose weight to take pressure off the knee. While I could stand to lose a few pounds, maybe 10 or so, my weight certainly is not the issue. I should also mention I did 6 months of physical therapy post-surgery, 3 times a week. The pain has worsened over time and now, I cannot take one step without feeling significant pain. I asked to see a different Dr. at Brielle Orthopedics, but the office told me in order to do so, I would have to explain to Dr. Law why I dont want to see him and then get his permission to see another Dr. in the practice (no thanks). They would rather lose a patient than let me see someone else. When I requested my medical records and told them I was going elsewhere, they didnt care or even ask why. After seeing another orthopedic and getting an updated MRI, we have learned that what I suspected all along was correct: the surgery was a complete and total failure, and my knee is in much worse shape than before surgery. I have wasted a year following Dr. Law's advice, enduring pain and spending quite a bit of money....for nothing. Now, I am looking at the possibility of joint replacement surgery, if gel injections do not resolve the pain. I will never return to Brielle Orthopedics...and neither will my family. read more
