When he had his initial office visit the office staff was great. He was prepared for a request to pay a large deposit, but the person he spoke to told him to just do a small amount until the insurance had settled everything. He had already had to pay a $3600 deposit to the hospital for his CT scan and another $2100 to the hospital again for the surgery estimate. As it turned out he had overpaid the hospital by $3000. When I called Dr. Logo's office about his bill, they told me to wait on the insurance to complete the claim and they will send him a bill. They were so nice to talk to and so aware of how hospitals are when it comes to collecting money they don't need to get. I highly recommend Dr. Lugo and his staff!

I hope he was just having a bad day and isn't always so unwilling to listen to his patients, but I know he won't be doing any surgery on me.

Dr. David Strausser proved to be an outstanding doctor, first guiding me thru a series of PT sessions before evaluating me for surgery. I developed debilitating pain at nite that began in the hamstring attachment to the hip, then ran down the back of my knee to the ankle. I lay in bed 9 hours to get 6 hours of arrested sleep. The PT sessions continued for three months -- with limited (and temporary) gains. Ten days before the scheduled surgery, Dr. Strausser suggested an epidural injection into the affected lumbar area. His treatment that afternoon enabled me to put the 4-point walker in the closet the next day. It was and still is the single most effective medical experience in my life. Surgery was rendered unnecessary by the success of the injection. Not only did his therapy deliver a prompt and comparatively complete cure, but Dr. Strausser advised me on appropriate exercise and stretching routines to keep my spine limber. "Use a recumbent bicycle and take up swimming in your workouts" were his words. His knowledge extends to protective measures in how to use the back, not just avoidance of injury. I regret taking 3.5 years to write this note, but for readers with similar sciatica problems, my long measure of cure confirms the success of the Strausser Method. Michael S. -- The Woodlands

The first rule of medicine is supposed to be "first, do no harm." Unfortunately, that principle…read moreseemed completely lost at this office. (Edit: I should specify this was with Dr. Shatby's office.) My primary care doctor referred me here after an X-ray came back negative for bone break/fracture. My PCP believed I likely needed an MRI and evaluation by an orthopedist. Before the appointment, I confirmed my referral had gone through, provided all my information, and was told they were only missing the X-ray results. They gave me a fax number, I contacted the imaging center, and had the results faxed over. Problem solved - or so I thought. I arrive for my appointment only to be told the doctor refuses to see me without the actual x-ray imaging files, despite already having the radiologist's report. Instead of explaining this requirement beforehand, the receptionist immediately tried to push me into getting another X-ray done right there. Her response? "Don't worry, it's only a $10 copay." That completely missed the point. I didn't 't care about the copay. I care about exposure to unnecessary ionizing radiation and unnecessary repeat imaging when my PCP already believed the next step was an MRI. Why was I being asked to repeat an X-ray I literally just had done less than a week before? Hmm... I declined the repeat X-ray, drove all the way back to the imaging center, obtained the DVD myself, and brought it back to their office the same day. I had to actually get a physical DVD because this office also does not have any method in place for receiving digital records such as x-rays. OK, so let me get this straight: their office REQUIRES the original images, but yet they have NO WAY to receive such images except for an antiquated DVD, and if someone does not have said DVD, then they require them to get NEW images, coincidentally done at THEIR facility, or else the Dr. won't see the patient? Does that seem appropriate to you? Finally, after all that effort, I was then told the doctor had already left for the day. So they wanted to reschedule me for the following week. To make matters worse, they charged me the co-pay for the appointment, which I am disputing. They are also trying to bill my insurance for the appointment even though I was never actually seen (disputing that also). The entire experience felt less focused on patient care and far more focused on funneling patients into in-house imaging. Maybe there's a perfectly innocent explanation (I doubt it), but when a patient is pressured to repeat x-ray imaging they already completed, despite a specialist referral specifically for an MRI evaluation, it raises serious concerns, to say the least. Patients are not just billing opportunities. Repeated radiation exposure may be "small" each time, but it is cumulative, and unnecessary exposure is still unnecessary exposure. The complete lack of coordination, communication, and respect for the patient's time and SAFETY was unacceptable. Stay far away. I will not be returning.

Dr. Fisher is Super professional at how he does things. He doesn't push you into surgery even…read morethough you know you need it but instead asks you a lot of questions and gives you tons of information letting you make an informed decision about what to do. I don't feel like a number in his office as I have in many other dr offices where I have waited an hour in the waiting room and then over an hour more in the actual patient room before seeing the dr who comes in quickly says hi and then basically leaves. I got in quickly to see Dr Fisher and he immediately sat down across from me and started a conversation with me about my knee. It just felt like we were old friends. I never felt rushed and felt completely comfortable asking him any questions I needed knowing he would answer them honestly with years of experience. I need both of my knees replaced at the same time due to my job, and while no other Dr I've heard of would even entertain this, Dr Fisher said that not only could it be done but that he had done it before! He did however explain the added risks, recovery time, added complexity of the dual knee replacement PT, and added pain which of course I greatly appreciated unfortunately even though I'd prefer to do them separately I just don't have that as an option. My right knee is the worst as I had an ACL removed in 1984, but found out 12 years ago that the dr that did the surgery also accidentally removed my meniscus also, so I've been bone to bone since 84. The left knee has been used to compensate and therefore also may need replacement. After getting an X-ray done quickly in his office Dr. Fisher told me the left one may be ok for now so since he already knew the right one needed replacement he only ordered an MRI on the left one to see if surgery was even necessary. I appreciated this as a one knee MRI will be much cheaper for me than both. I will update this review after my surgery. This is not the first time that I've seen Dr. Fisher. I also saw him once earlier last year before I had 5 discs fused together in my neck from a car accident. My neurosurgeon wanted to make sure the pain in my shoulder was from my neck and not an additional problem in my shoulder. Dr Fisher was who he recommended and I was glad he did! He did an inter office X-ray and in office observation and testing to determine that my shoulder was sound so I could continue with my neck surgery. I remembered then how professional he was, how he spoke on my level where I could understand him, and never talked down to me as some doctors do. I told him there on the spot that I was going to need knee replacement soon and that once my neck was done I'd like him to do it. Normally I research surgeons extensively before making a decision of who I will let cut on me, but I knew when I met Dr. Fisher that there would be no one else that I'd ever let do it but him. See Dr. Fisher and you will see EXACTLY what I am talking about. He is truly one of a kind in every way! Thank you sooo much Dr. Fisher for taking the time to visit with me, explain all of my options, be honest enough to even explain how painful this is going to be, and honoring the decision that I made on how I'd like to proceed. I've seen sooo many different doctors throughout my entire life many who were very good like the world renowned neurologist I've seen for 50 years, but NEVER have I seen anyone who holds a candle anywhere near you when it comes to honesty, integrity, compassion, thoroughness, and quality of care than you! I'm soo blessed to have found you! If you're having any kind of joint problems see this guy as he's truly the Best! As you can see I don't leave many reviews so when I do it's either amazingly good or horrifically bad usually the latter. Dr. Fisher is BEYOND AMAZINGLY GREAT!!!
