this doctor was the second one I got from this group and both made the same mistake.
After a fall, I had a fracture distal radius bone. I also had a small abrasion first Dr. Cory Phang who did not even bother to takeoff the cast that had been on for three days put on by the emergency room. I told him I had an abrasion and he told me he could not operate if there was any kind of infection yet and 42 decided that he did not demon necessary to look at the wound.
Sure enough, I had to come back within five days after burning stinging and he decided there was an infection and prescribed heavy heavy antibiotics without taking any kind of culture.
After the surgery, I decided that that mistake was one too many & decided to try Dr. Perry Secor
I went to see him exactly one week from the surgery, and he also did not bother to remove original dressing and actually view the incision.
told me to come back in two weeks.
Within a day or two, I had stinging burning sensations under that dressing, and found it to be bloody & icky on
Instinct told me to take it outside, air it out and exposed to sun, which I did the moon. The word immediately looked better and I ended up starting on the antibiotics originally given to me for the original wound that went on addressed by Dr. fang.
Upon going back to see Dr. Secour, however, he was taken aback by the seriousness of the infection on my wrist, and ordered more heavy antibiotics WITHOUT taking any kind of a culture and wanted to see me back the next day
Went back the next day, a Friday before a holiday weekend, and finally decided that he was going to take a culture
Went back the following Tuesday call, mom wound was better because I had been airing it out. Still taking the heavy, heavy antibiotics that Perry had prescribed they were making me sick.
He looked at it, said it looked better, and then said oh yeah, keep taking the antibiotics
I said what about the culture what does it say? Do I have to take that same prescription or is there something more specific to the wound?
At that point his nurse, Alyssa handed him the results of the test and guess what it was not any kind of bacterial infection. It had been a fungal infection all along that nobody not Dr. fang not Dr. Secor bothered to even investigate until the very last moment, and I was in serious danger of sepsis that could've cost me my arm .
Do yourself a favor find a better, Ortho, do not go to either Dr. Kori fang or Dr. Perry Secor. Personally, I had to change insurance companies because I cannot handle this advantage crap HMO, where they need authorization from the East Coast for every little thing and I have to outsource lab work, etc. instead of doing it in-house as good insurance will permit.
Stay away from Perry Secor read more
