St Charles Center for Orthopedics and Neurosurgery - Bend - Terrible doctor, no sympathy for his patients.

Dr Perkey and her medical assistant are wonderful. I left a message with her medical assistant and didn't hear back for a few weeks then got a random call from her that Dr Perkey would see me again. I so appreciate it as she is hands down the best doctor I have ever had who actually cares and listens and helps you to find solutions. The building was a large one and a lot going on but the process of check in and getting to the doctor was seamless and easy. To be able to get educated and compassionate care by a provider who keeps up to date on brain injury and gives you tools to use makes a world of a difference! So glad I am able to come here and have no problem making the drive anytime until we can move to bend which is in our 2 year plan.

We arrived at 12:08 pm and were informed that everyone was at lunch and it would be an hour wait. Finally the Trage RN returns, but takes people out of order. My father is 89, walks with a cane. Everyone else that was been seen before him was ambulatory. Overall we have been happy with the physicians, but extremely disappointed in the office protocold. Taking the sickest first makes sense, but this was not the case both times we have used NOW Care.

I was diagnosed with Dupuytren's contracture by Dr. Verheyden, presenting as a minor condition in…read moremy pinky finger. He recommended an injection treatment. During the procedure, he identified what he described as an additional "flat node" in my ring finger and suggested injecting that as well, which I agreed to. Ten days after the procedure, I experienced what I believed to be a rupture in my ring finger. Dr. Verheyden assessed the symptoms as part of the normal healing process. After three follow-up appointments with the same assessment, I sought an MRI, which revealed complete ruptures of the A2, A3, and A4 pulley tendons in my ring finger, as well as a complete rupture of the A2 pulley in my pinky finger. I subsequently required reconstructive surgery on the A2 pulleys in both fingers, using a graft from my palmaris longus tendon. Since the surgery, I have experienced approximately 50% reduced grip strength, limited flexion in my ring finger, and ongoing pain.

I woke up in recovery in horrible pain which has never gone away. I've complained about the pain to his office many times and I'm just told to give it time. So like I said, he may be a good surgeon. And maybe if he had stitched me closed, none of this would be an issue. It's been 6 months since my surgery and I'm in just as much pain as before the procedure. My hand is swollen and clearly something is very wrong. What has been most upsetting is the fact that he refuses to look at my hand to see what can be done to alleviate the pain. What kind of surgeon refuses to look at something when the patient complains about pain?!?

This review is long overdue but I feel it's necessary to provide my input on my experience…read more I had ongoing shoulder pain that progressively got worse over time to the point where it was bothering me throughout the day. I searched Yelp and found Gabriel Goldman nearby with stellar reviews. Little did I know Yelp would steer me wrong. I setup an appointment and met up with him a few days later for a consult. He seemed very confident and told me that it would take many sessions and it may be costly but he would resolve my issues. He examined my shoulder and diagnosed me as having a lot of scar tissue in my shoulder from injuries and possible overuse. Now to the appointments.... I saw him a total of 6 or 7 times. Each appointment consisted of electrical stimulation/heat for about 20 minutes followed by about 10 minutes of ultrasound and then another 20 minutes manual therapy/massage. There was also an occasional adjustment during some visits. These are some of the issues I had during my visits: 1) The heat cuffs/blankets do not have any cover on them. Each patient sweats profusely with it and it is not cleaned at all between visits which seems quite unsanitary. 2) I never once saw anybody wipe down or clean the patient tables in the treatment room or the adjacent room. This should be standard practice. Again unsanitary practice. 3) The electrodes on the e-stim machine should be replaced after each patient. The electrodes were just reapplied back onto a plastic sheet and used on the next patient (Gross). 4) The end of the ultrasound device was never sanitized. The gel was just wiped off with a paper towel. The breaking point for me is when the manual therapy/massage left me severely bruised. The bruising was so bad I couldn't use my shoulder normally during times. The entire back side of my shoulder was left with HUGE dark bruises. Family members and my girlfriend were blown away when they saw the extent of the bruising. Gabriel Goldman told me this was normal and part of "breaking down the scar tissue." The tool he used to do a lot of this therapy was "a rock that he found on the beach." What the f....? Some of the normal things I had difficultly doing after these sessions included driving, showering, putting on a shirt, etc. What irked me is that he continued with the same treatment even though there was a lot of bruising and obvious pain and he stated it was ok and part of the process. I was already compensating with wrong muscles when I had my injury and this no doubt added to it, at least in my mind. My friend who is an MD advised me to stop this therapy and get an MRI to rule out anything serious. He told me to get the potential diagnoses/treatment notes from Gabriel Goldman and send it over to him for review. I called Gabriel Goldman and let him know I need my patient notes and potential diagnosis to review with my doctor friend in an upcoming visit. He got defensive and started asking questions. I let him know I was advised to get an MRI to rule out anything serious. His response was "I could have ordered that for you too." Ok...so why didn't you? So I let him know I would be moving on and he agreed to send me my patient notes. 2 days go by and I hear nothing back. I email him and no response. A day later I call and leave a message and no response. I call again and talk to him. I let him know my appointment is tomorrow and he finally emails me my notes. In the email he states: "Referencing my chart and your initial examination my impressions were that you had a subacromial impingement, but in my comments I had differentials of tendonitis/tendonosis and possible even a partial rotator cuff tear." WOW. Why wasn't any of this mentioned to me during my visits or my initial exam? What ever happened to the "scar tissue" diagnosis? So that is my less than stellar experience. The only upside is that his adjustments were nice (as a chiropractor I would hope they would be). But again I doubt the adjustments had anything to do with my treatment protocol, just another charge to tack onto my insurance charges. I wouldn't waste my money with this kind of care. Please choose wisely.

I really don't know where to start. But I really contribute me being able to walk again (post hip…read moresurgery) to Dr. Goldman. I saw him weekly post surgery. He got me off of crutches, and worked muscles that needed to be activated/engaged again. Physical therapy left me in a great deal of pain and inflammation. I actually stopped going because it would have me down for days afterwards. I switched gears and went with Dr. Goldman to help me recover. With a concrete plan of care, and sticking to it, I am now BOXING three days a week AND personal training! His quality of care is what has me back and better than ever. I actually feel stronger now! And if things get wonky from a workout etc, I swear it just takes me one adjustment, and everything from my lower back, to my neck feels aligned and solid. He has been a life changer for me!!! I will always sing his praises from the rooftops!

He never remembers you as a patients from next. I had my 1st surgery he has taken my life away from me. I no longer can walk standing straight up and down! 230mm forwards and 30mm to the left.

There was a point where I announced to the authorities and Dr. Belza that I was a long suffering domestic abuse survivor. I asked to pay for the surgery out of pocket and he had us talk to "Mike" who deals with financial issues. The experience with Mike was misleading, just like Belza and his staff, confusing and he seemed to make up his responses on the fly. In the end Dr. Belza said he was leaving his practice, having personal surgery and was not sure he could help me. All those years that he said he could and he can't even tell me himself! I would advise anyone to search hard for a good neurosurgeon to help your painful problem. Update: I found Dr. Manoso in Portland and he was shocked that I had been strung along for 7 years! One visit to him and he immediately put me on the surgery list, even bumped me up. On July 13,2020 I am finally getting my first SI Joint fusion surgery. Then I will go back and have my left side done. Very respectful doctor who has ethics and the abilities to help patients get their lives back and no long be crippled and riddled with pain. The opposite of my expensive years believing in Dr. Belza and his office. If you ever have to speak with "Mike" proceed with caution because he did not deliver, just like Belza. Very elusive and fumbles with numbers. Go somewhere else!
