Dr. McKee took the time to show and explain the X-Ray to me and answer all of my questions. I was in and out fairly quickly, without feeling rushed.

Below is a detailed justification of my low rating of Dr. Harmelin and his office procedures. My…read moreexperience at the Annapolis Foot and Ankle Center began with a routine visit to check on foot pain in the big toe area that I had been having regularly for years, but was becoming more intense. There I started seeing Dr. Harmelin. Long story short, his prognosis was that there was nothing I could do about it--even special shoe slips wouldn't amount to much. He recommended bunionectomy, which I agreed to and was also going to get a Tailor's bunion removed at the same time due to similar pain. I don't take any form of surgery lightly, so I did my research and asked questions, but nothing I did could have prepared me for the sub-standard care I received during and after the surgery. I will now detail some of the key issues that went really wrong for me. 1. My surgery appointment was for 10:00 and they wanted me there 1 hour early to prepare. I sat in the reception room for a full hour wondering why I had wasted my time. After finally being allowed in, I then sat in a room for another 30 minutes without anyone checking on me. 2. All seemed to go well for the surgery and after I woke up from the procedure they wheeled me out and got me in the car. That is where the trouble began. First of all, I had a boot and was told that I would be able to put weight on it right away. There was not even a discussion of maybe needing crutches. Also, little did I know that only half of the surgery had been performed. I did not see Dr. Harmelin immediately after the surgery nor did I speak to anyone about how it went. I got some discharge instructions and that was it. (BTW, I DID need crutches, which was apparent after walking 2 feet to the bathroom in tears the next few days after surgery) 3. The next visit after the surgery while I was getting x-rays done Dr. Harmelin passed by and mentioned from the hall that he didn't do the Tailor's bunion. What. I looked around in disbelief. What did he say? He just dropped a bomb as if it was no big deal. Well, during the examination I waited for him to address the elephant in the room--and he didn't. After all the other discussions, I had to say, please explain what happened. He said that during the surgery (after I had been knocked out by anesthesia) they checked the pin they were going to use to correct the Tailor's bunion and found that there was a hole in the sterile bag. There goes the procedure. I couldn't believe it. A surgical center only had available 1 "cheap" pin to use on me?? I told him I was very disappointed and expected that there would be a Plan B in cases like that. I would have preferred to reschedule than to go through a second surgery. Afterall, I was waiting an HOUR AND A HALF before the surgery...I believe they had ample time to check their equipment before I was under anesthesia. While I appreciate their "do no harm" motto in avoiding giving me contaminated equipment, there has to be better preparation for the good of the patient. So, Dr. Harmelin said that he could do it anytime I needed to and that is exactly what the problem is with this doctor. He has no regard for the impact his actions have on patients. Hey, sure I would love to do another surgery that involves cutting my bone and healing for several weeks. Sure, no problem... OK- so that is bad enough, but not the end of the world. Well there's more. 4. I had 2 permanent pins and 1 screw placed in the bone to keep the bones aligned. I was told repeatedly that there was nothing I could do to impact the pins after the bone had healed and I was out of the boot. I was healing well and had no major problems at least that I was aware of. Until 4 months after the surgery I start getting intense pain in my foot. I thought the pain was from some muscle problem and rode it out, but after a few weeks there was no improvement, so I made an appointment before my next scheduled visit. Well, I was shocked to learn that one of my permanent pins had dislodged out of my bone and was hanging out in my soft tissue. Again, shock. "Is this normal?", I ask. They said, yes, it does happen occasionally. Well, that's when I decided to get a second opinion. According to the second podiatrist, he does not use the type of wire that Dr. Harmelin used because it is known to do exactly what happened to me. I also discussed with this doctor how he would conduct the surgery to remove the floating pin. He discussed things in way more detail than Dr. Harmelin and mentioned a special C-arm x-ray that could pinpoint exactly where the pin was at the time of surgery. This would avoid cutting a deeper hole than necessary while trying to find a small pin. Let me say that I decided not to work with Dr. Harmelin anymore and immediately went with my second podiatrist. Overall, I would NOT recommend this business or doctor to anyone. They seem to cut corners and assume their patients know what to expect out of their services.
