For 3 agonizing years I suffered with debilitating back pain due to a herniated disc. After being…read moregiven the runaround from the Navy, going thru two rounds of physical therapy, and being rushed to the emergency room on multiple occasions due to the excruciating pain of a ruptured disc crushing my sciatic nerve, they finally said they'd refer me to a surgeon, while suggesting that the surgeon probably wouldn't have done much. Thankfully, Navy medical couldn't have been more wrong. I saw Dr. Ha in April, I was immediately impressed by his obvious knowledge in his field. We viewed my MRI images together while he explained to me in thorough detail what was going on with my spine. He pretty much immediately stated that I was a candidate for surgery to my relief. After the wonderful people at Fourth Corner got through my insurance company (Tricare) they got me in as soon as possible. I was scheduled to have surgery May 14. Yes! It happened that quickly! Prior to surgery Dr. Ha stopped by to see me and to figure out which site would be best for the incision. He wanted to make sure the scarring was minimal, I appreciated his meticulousness. Afterwards, once the anesthesia wore off, he came by to tell me that surgery went incredibly well and that my disc was in terrible shape. If I am remembering correctly, he said he couldn't believe that I was still walking and not wearing a diaper, that's how bad it was! Validation! Within 24 hours I was walking around pretty much pain free with the exception of the incision site and some occasional soreness. I was absolutely amazed. Dr. Ha and the entire team at Fourth Corner, quite literally saved my mobility and my career. I cannot thank them enough. He was so great throughout this entire process and really made me feel comfortable that I was in the best hands possible. He is an incredible physician I would recommend him 1,000 times.

He declined to review my previous imaging showing proof of declining disk health (I was born with all of them). What kind of Doctor declines to review all available data, especially concerning the spine/brain? I won't name him. But then a second opinion with Dr Gorrepatti was incredible. He gave me a cervical fusion which relieved ALL my pain issues! I was able to stop taking the high doses of oxytocin. It's been 6 months and I've lost 25 pounds and I'm back to running 5 miles Thank you to Dr Gorrepati!!!

Dr. Subedar, explained the process, and the end result was as good as could be. However, during the procedure, my cheek was abraded and 8 days later it is still swollen and sore. My dentist sent a complete x-ray on a thumb drive & I was told they could not read it & I had to have another. For which I was charged $124.00. What computer these days can't open a file. Lindsey who is in charge of finances was anything but clear. Since I do not have dental insurance I asked to negotiate the cost. Since I know that insurance companies pay just pennies on the dollar. I was able to negotiate a 10% discount, and it is their policy to give a 5% discount for cash. Agt the end of our negotiation I understood that I was to get a 10% discount and according to their policy I would get an additional 5% for paying cash. I paid cash. First, they could not give me change, so I had to wait until the follow-up visit and when I asked about the cash discount I was told that it was part of the 10%. The quote I received showed a 10% discount, and that was not broken down stating that it really was only a 5% discount. I feel that this way of dealing with patients who attempt to negotiate a better deal borders on Fraud.

Once he met with Dr Higgins, that only reinforced it. Dr Higgins is very patient centered. He is an excellent listener, a clear communicator, has a sense of humor in addition to (obviously) being highly educated and intelligent. Dr Higgins (for both my husband and myself) was easy to trust and took his time in explaining things. Surgery was yesterday afternoon and my husband is so pleased with his experience. The surgery was done using minimally invasive techniques (giant robot machine says my husband!) and this is probably part of the reason why he is experiencing a mild recovery. Thanks Squalicum Surgical Associates and Dr Higgins! So very grateful for the positive outcome.

This is a knee orthopedic specialist Who initially told my 82-year-old mother, before he's even seen her that she was too old and or does not want to perform a knee surgery on her because of her advanced age. But he wasn't that nice he said "too old." I was concerned, but my sister took her to the appointment anyway. My mother asked if she needed an MRI. His response :"do you think you need an MRI?" how in the world would she know if she needed an MRI or not? This is why she goes to this doctor. He also use the phrase;. My mother has" been on this earth an awful long time, she should know what she wants/or needs." There are so many things wrong with this treatment I can't begin to list them. My sister also asked during this appointment if this procedure would be a real surgery/because it was and arthroscopic surgery minimally invasive.
