I went to see him in severe pain that came from a pinched nerve bundle in the lower back. Getting to him wasn't easy with the way Henry Ford Health operations. He was upset that he hadn't seen me sooner.
He knew exactly what was wrong and what needed to be done quickly. 2 weeks after my 1st appointment, I had surgery. His office staff was professional and had the pre operation procedure to get you prepared.
Surgery went great and I was kept the night after. For once, the HFH worked well getting me home therapy and follow-up.
The only problem and it was huge and very painful, was when I had my 1st post-op visit. They tried to take over 35 metal staples out of my back WITHOUT numbing the area. I STOPPED them and refused to go on without being numbed. They acted like this could not be done. Finally they tried to numb it, but I refuse to go on without being numbed correctly. Instead of about 20 minutes, it took them 90 minutes with 3 different people doing it. This is more the normal level I have seen in my health care from HFH.
Dr. Selfies, is 5 star. He followed up with tests to see if I was healing and cared about my back and how I was feeling.
Henry Ford Healthcare is at best 2.5 stars. I have only found a few doctors that do individual medicine. Most just do the procedure that works for 90% of patients but not ones like me that have lists of problems. read more
