    Dr. David MacDonald is a wonderful hand surgeon! He fixed my finger to perfection and the Pre-op and OR staff were awesome, too!

    For years I've had frozen shoulders on both sides but it was no longer painful and I didn't want…read moreany treatment, but while exercising to strengthen upper body muscles for Parkinson's, I did something to my right shoulder causing extreme pain on a Thursday. Friday it was so bad I tried to get into my Orthopedic specialists office for some help, but couldn't get in until the following Thursday. I called my pain doctor, and couldn't get in until Monday, and made an appointment. Saturday the pain was so severe I wanted to commit suicide. I went to as walk-in clinic to see what they could do. They did an X-ray that didn't show any break and figured it was just a sprain. I am also diabetic and steroid shots general play havoc with that condition and I try to avoid them if at all possible, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do and begged for a steroid shot to help with the pain. The doctor told me she couldn't put it directly in the shoulder, just the arm and wasn't sure it would help that much but I was willing to try anything and went for the shot that did nothing but throw my Blood sugars way off. On Monday I went to see my pain doctor. Didn't tell her about getting a steroid shot on Saturday, just described the pain and asked if she could inject a steroid shot in my shoulder. She could, and did, but it did nothing for the pain so Tuesday, I searched for an orthopedist who could see me promptly that day and found Dr. Lewis's office and especially surprised that he specialized in shoulders. I was lucky, they could see me that afternoon. I went in and sat with his nurse first to discuss what was going on, including the steroid shot I had on Saturday and Monday and she took notes. I told her I thought the steroid shots hadn't worked because they werre put in the wrong place. I then saw Dr. Lewis who personally took additional X-Rays, He said the shoulder looked fine and I didn't need to look at any replacement surgery anytime soon. Without telling him I had the earlier steroid shots, I told him I usually avoid steroid shots, but I was in such severe pain could he give me a shot in the shoulder and he said, "certainly, I'll go out and prepare one." He and his nurse left the room and were gone no more than 15 seconds when he walked back in and asked, "Did you just have a stteroid shot?" I explained what I had done and he said he couldn't give me another one for another 8 to 10 weeks and that the shot do work, but sometime take awhile to fully work. We scheduled a followup in 8 weeks. What that showed me was great communication between doctor and nurse that she knew to tell him quickly about my previous shots. The pain did subside for awhile, but has returned. On my 8 week appointment he recommended rehab and sent the referral over to the clinic I was already doing Parkinson's therapy. Five months later, the pain is still there and I've made an appointment to return and see if he wants to make a referral for any MRI to detect for a tear that wouldn't show up on an X-ray, and if so, should I do surgery to fix it. Don't know yet, but I can say I really think Dr. Lewis and his office staff are really great and very professional. I'd recommend them to anyone with a shoulder problem with the greatest confidence.

    My orthopedic doctor told me I needed a knee replacement (TKA). Unfortunately, my doctor no longer…read moredoes TKA. I called Hughston Clinic and was given an appointment with Dr Fernicola and he was approachable and told me to call his scheduler for surgery. After surgery his demeanor changed. He was rude and condescending. My two follow-ups were a joke. He NEVER looked at my knee. He'd come in and sat across the room. My whole leg was severely swollen and painful. When I asked about it. He reminded me that he gave me a new knee and to work it. He never went over x-rays and declined to answer questions. I could no longer put weight on my leg. I was worst off than before the TKA. I went to another orthopedic doctor and needed a knee revision. My replacement was loose and misaligned. I later found out I was not the only person who had encountered similar issues. For your own health and mental well-being this is not the doctor I would recommend to anyone.

    While I believe he is a good orthopaedist, his concern for YOUR time is non-existent. I had two…read moreappointments with him for my shoulder. The first one was in the middle of the day and I expected that by then he might be running behind, but when the second one was at 8:45 in the morning, I arrived at 8:30. I informed the patient representative that I had a meeting at 10 a.m. and I needed to ensure that I would be seen by then. At 9:30, I was still in the waiting room. I asked to be rescheduled. I did not have my calendar with me and asked that the office manager call me. I NEVER received a return call from them. This appointment was to evaluate whether or not the physical therapy prescribed by him had been successful and whether or not surgery on my shoulder could be avoided or if more therapy was necessary. I am still in pain in my shoulder, but he does not care as no one has ever followed up with me. As a healthcare risk manager, I can tell you, this is not a good thing. Losing a patient to follow up that is your fault is potentially a claim waiting to happen. This is a shoulder that has not been fully evaluated. The cause of the pain is unknown. I still receive their newsletter via e-mail, but I have not been contacted by them and it has been over a year. I no longer live in the area and will see an orthopedist in this area that my internist to whom my internist refers me. This way I will have recourse if I am treated as shabbily as I was by Dr. Fernicola. All I can say is, if someone does not see you in a reasonable amount of time, leave. If he does not answer your questions, leave. You are the patient. He is not in charge. You are in charge of our body. He is not doing you a favor. Do not allow the surgeon and his ego be the one who rules you. You are the important one here. The surgeon needs to understand that you are more important than he is. Without you, he would not have a job. Your time is as important as his time.
