    In 2018 I had Gastocnemius Recession surgery. I was told I would be weight bearing the DAY OF…read moresurgery. I did not get instructions for PT, and he told me recovery would not be long at all. When in fact the full recovery time is SEVEN months and weight bearing may not occur from 6-12 weeks after surgery. I had to quit my job because I couldn't drive there (having a boot on my right leg for a long period) and was in a massive amount of pain, and would get incredible cramps that I was not warned about. After surgery the nurse tried to have me stand up and I fell back on the bed in incredible pain and made me feel foolish for wanting crutches or a wheel chair. I am still appauled that I did not get the care I should have recieved, and the correct knowledge for rehabilitation after my calf was cut. I do not recommend him. Find another knowledgeable doctor.

    Never in my life have I observed or been apart of such an incompetent doctor! I was evaluated by…read morethis doctor a month ago for a severe ankle sprain. My MRI results showed multiple full and partial ligament tears. Dr. Patel put me in a short leg cast for 4 weeks to completely immobilize me. This was my " initial encounter" as it states on my visit notes. Fast forward to today! I go in, they take my cast off, I explain I've been in slight pain for most of the time in the cast etc. Dr. Patel comes in the room and the first sentence out of his mouth is "I don't know what to do for you." I said I didn't understand? He said well we immobilized you and you're saying you're still in pain, it's just a sprain." I reminded him "I have multiple full thickness and partial ligaments that are torn!" He goes "well I don't know what to do for you, you'll have to get a second opinion with my colleague." He never physically examined me! He never put his hands on my foot he never attempted to manipulate it/ test it in anyway! There was no actual physical examination that was performed! He also completely disregarded my entire MRI report that stated all of these tears!! A radiologists entire job is to find these abnormalities! Dr. Patel disregarded the entire report and only mentioned one suspected partial tear! I can pin point myself just by attempting to move my ankle exactly where these tears are because of the sharp pain I get when attempting to move it in any direction! This doctor I guarantee had no idea which patient I was. On todays notes it said TODAY was our initial encounter! Even that's not accurate on his part! I was just another number! I was just a get her in and out! As a doctor it is your job to know and if you don't you should at least have some sort of plan in place!! Somewhere to go from here!!! "I don't know." ISNT AN ANSWER! "I don't have a plan." ISNT A THING! And you NEVER even physically examined me !!! That is not a doctor! You did not do your job! I came to UMASS thinking I would be receiving expert care!!! Boy was I wrong!!! Do yourself a favor go elsewhere!!! This doctor cares about dollar signs not his patients.

    I have very mixed feelings writing this review…read more This surgeon was the only doctor willing to take on my case after we consulted with multiple specialists who felt my situation was too complex. For that, I am genuinely grateful. He rebuilt my foot, and the surgery was extensive. While there have been complications, many were expected given the severity of my condition. From a surgical standpoint, I believe he is highly skilled and capable of handling complex cases that others are unwilling to attempt. However, the ongoing experience with the office has been extremely challenging. Over the past almost three years, I have repeatedly had to call every single day -- sometimes for weeks -- just to get necessary medications refilled. There appears to be a consistent breakdown in communication between staff and physician. The staff often says they are waiting on him; he seems unaware of requests. Meanwhile, patients are left without answers. I have also spoken with other patients in the waiting room who expressed similar frustrations. The aftercare does not feel like a priority in this practice. Once the surgery is done, the follow-through and responsiveness are often lacking. Most recently, I simply requested a brief phone call from the surgeon prior to an upcoming procedure to go over what would be happening. I was told that would not be possible and that I would need to come into the office instead. For a patient about to undergo surgery, that level of communication should not feel difficult to obtain. When you are about to undergo an operation, feeling heard and having clarity about what to expect is not a small thing -- it is essential to feeling safe and confident in your care. I truly believe he is a talented surgeon. But strong surgical skill should be matched with strong aftercare and communication. In the end, when there is a lack of coordination or responsiveness, it is the patients who carry the burden. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, because the potential for excellent care is there -- the support system around it simply needs improvement.

    It was refreshing to meet a doctor who introduces himself by first name. Lorenzo was the third…read moreOrthopedist I had seen for my ankle and the one who finally gave me the bad news that I was going to need surgery. He was friendly, brutally honest, and took the time to explain everything to me. The staff is also very friendly and engaging, especially now that I've been there quite a few times in the past few months. Unfortunately Lorenzo did not perform the surgery which was performed by one of his partners (who I shall review soon).
