The bone healed but I have had a lot of pain and swelling not to mention a popping sound you can hear across the room, PT did not help in fact made it worse so finally asked my primary care physician to check it out she was astonished that I had not done something sooner so she referred me back to Dr Huene, He did not respond so I called his office and they set up an appointment for me, a little over an hour later Dr Huenes office called and cancelled the appointment, when I asked why they said to contact my primary care provider when I pressed the front desk they put the nurse on the phone who said Dr Huene was refusing the referal. I guess (my opinion) is he screwed up my ankle/fibula and did not want to take responsibility. I can not think of any other reason he would refuse to see me, He did the work so you think he would take responsibility.

I've had three surgeries and visited with orthos and therapists dozens of times in the years since. I don't think I've ever had as disappointing an experience as I had here at Western Ortho. I visited with Dr. Sanderford for help with my chronic pain, and he ordered x rays and an MRI. In total across a few visits, I probably spent 15 minutes speaking with the doctor. We elected not to pursue a 4th surgery, and that was really the end of the care I received. I was supposed to be referred to another specialist but they never sent that referral. I requested a refill on an anti-inflammatory prescribed by Dr Dovey, who also works there, but they wanted me to make another appointment. I asked if they'd write me a letter to use my HSA on therapy equipment but they refused that as well. This office billed me thousands for the 15 minutes I got to talk to the Dr., but it's clear they couldn't care less about me or my health. They just want to run your card and get you out of their office. Do not come here for care, you will not receive it. - Brian

If you have ANY other choice in who you visit, take that option for your own sake. I'd hate for anyone to be in the position that I've been put in as a result of their incompetence and unprofessionalism. From waiting months on end to get an mri approval, constant feet dragging, incorrect diagnosis, and even blatant refusal to send further imaging orders, they have let me down every step of the way. I am now forced to find a component doctor before my atrophy, and numbness become permanent.

I called Dr. Singh's office to ask about an appointment in which I could have some odd sensations and pains around my shoulders and arms and lower neck examined. The receptionist told me that Dr. Singh did not deal with patients who had "neck problems". I asked her how I could tell if I had "neck problems" as he defined it. However, she had not been trained in answering this question. As a result, she suggested that I either risk wasting my time by waiting two weeks to see Dr. Singh, who might simply refer me to another doctor with an even longer wait time, or that I see the other doctor in one month. The other doctor required a full MRI, I was told. I asked if Dr. Singh could speak with me on the phone for five minutes so as to listen to my description (e.g., I did rupture a disk near my neck years ago) and advise me on how to waste less time and money. E.g., "Yes, that sounds like a neck problem as I define it," etc. The receptionist said "He won't do that." I explained to the receptionist the unnecessary bind this put me in and asked her to pass the information on to the doctor. She said she would do so. I have no knowledge of whether she actually did so; I never got a call back from anyone at the office.
