If I could give 0 stars I would. This man nearly cost me my life. He did a double spinal fusion (ALIF/PLIF) and replaced 2 disks in my spine with disk cages and took bone grafts from my hips and painted it like it was a minor surgery. Guaranteed me I could run again within a month and that I'd be able to jump without pain by the 6 week follow up appt. That appt almost never came for me. My left hip incision was done horribly. The steristrips were dipping into my incision and it had issues closing. From right after the first surgery (it was a 2 part surgery, 2 different surgeries, 2 days apart), I was in horrific pain. My BP was low in the hospital. He allowed me to be released with extremely low BP. I called with a BP 70/40 and he told me to just stop taking pain pills, despite being on them for over a year and never having BP issues. This went on for 2 weeks. Then my incision, which was closed, popped back open and was warm to the touch, red, and was pussing. I came into his office barely conscious, fever of 103, and he told me I just had a low pain tolerance and I was being "babied" too much and told his nurse not to help me off the table (I couldn't even stay awake) and told me to walk on my own. Then sent me away. I was driven home by my sister and went to sleep and she couldn't wake me up. I was in septic shock. By the time she got me to the hospital I was near dead. I was delirious with an almost non-existent BP and super high HR. Cultures came back as Group A Strep Sepsis and was of critical value. he tried to DISCHARGE me as he said I "didn't look septic". They had to have a hospitalist step in to stop my discharge and re-order all my imaging. According to the hospitalist there were 3 of his patients with infections on the same floor. He literally tried to kill me for the sake of his own reputation. I have permanent heart and autoimmune issues because he was so negligent and reckless. He has lost his license in the state of KY and lost his privileges at multiple local hospitals, including St Thomas Midtown because of what he did to me. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN, he is DANGEROUS. Do not let him touch you. He is the next Dr. Death. read more
