I just have to say that Dr Legome is fantastic. I had gone to a previous Orthopedist in Newport and had a terrible experience. I was told my back injury was because I was too fat and should be back to normal in a week. The Newport doctor spent 10 minutes on me and pushed me out the door. Well, two weeks after that I was still in excruciating pain and was unable to walk.
After that I went to Dr. Legome's office. He did a thorough exam that took around 30 minutes, and after he was certain I had herniated disc. He said that I would need an epidural and ordered an MRI to make sure of the location that I needed to be injected. The MRI came back and sure enough I had a herniated disc that was causing the trouble.
I had an epidural and got relief, and subsequently Dr Legome has had me doing exercises that have been helping improve my ability to walk and move around.
I think Dr Legome is a godsend, and I appreciate the time he spends making accurate and intelligent diagnoses. I will be a patient of his for a long time I'm sure, and I would recommend him to anyone with back issues. read more
