You think you do the research and get a good doctor.
Like the other review, Dr Dainer was perfect before my initial surgery.
After surgery, he made the comment, my knee was as good as it's going to get, that I will have some instability. There isn't any more he could do.
I continued to have falls and slip ups. So I went back to see him. At the office visit, very rude and short with me. Even after I told him I had a fall.
Months go by, and I had another fall. This time, extensive damage to my knee and now broken bones.
I call the doctor to make an appointment.
They receive authorization from my carrier.
The day comes to go in, an 1.5 before my appointment the office calls me to tell me that they need my personal insurance for they have to Bill me personally. Once I tell them I'm Kaiser, their response is I have to pay cash, before being seen.
I told the initial nurse, I was confused. They received authorization for me to be seen by the carrier.
Apparently Dainer was refusing that coverage.
After attorney calls and carrier calls, I was finally able to see him.
But I really shouldn't have.
I go in and you could tell he didn't want to see me.
He looks at my wound (stitches from one end to the other end of my knee) and says your fine and walks out.
Um....I sat there... was I supposed to leave with an open wound?
I'm in a wheelchair so, I pull out of the room, excuse me.... am I'm suppose to leave the office with an open wound?
The nurse nurse looks at me and says hold on, let me ask the doctor.
5 minutes later, I roll myself out, without proper bandages.
I am amazed this doctor is still in business.
He doesn't care about his patients.
He only cares to be paid for surgeries.
Not for maintenance care or follow up care....etc.
I left in tears at the treatment I received. read more
