Dr. Shaw at Beacon Orthopedics in Fairfield, Ohio, seemed in a hurry or rushed the second he walked…read moreinto our exam room. We were there for a second opinion so he had allegedly already taken a look at the original x-ray. I also wanted to ask questions and point out something I saw on the x-ray. He never looked at it. He talked over me, loudly, had a smug attitude, and was extremely rude to me. He told me there was nothing wrong with my sons leg according to the x-ray, but, as I said, I was there for a second opinion. Children's Hospital took the x-ray, and put my son in a leg brace based on their findings. My son had a knee injury. The excruciating pain was not a constant, and of course my son was experiencing it while we were in the office. But it had returned after the brace, when he does activities, and it at times is so bad that my son cannot walk, that indicates there is still an issue. Dr. Shaw told me kids injure themselves and it's better in a day or two. I told him that this had been happening since April. He shrugged his shoulders. I asked what would he recommend doing? He said "Don't know." From a professional, I was really hoping to get some answer other than "maybe." Dr. Shaw's attitude toward me was that I wasted his time, I was inferior to him, and he nonchalantly dismissed any question that I had about healing my sons leg with a one worded answer such as "maybe." I wonder what it was about me that he was prejudiced against. I NEVER showed any disrespect even when he did, and I never showed any sigh of attitude. I just don't understand why he disliked me so much immediately that he didn't even care to try an assist my son. He should be embarrassed but his demeaning, narcissistic behavior lets me know that, he won't be. I wasn't looking to be coddled, I wasn't waiting for the answer I wanted, I just hoped and assumed he would be professional and give me guidance for my child.

He's incredibly thorough and the trainers/assistants around the office are also wonderful - they're all beautiful, which was startling but aspirational. We were told they were running 40 minutes behind, but ended up waiting 2 hours, which wasn't ideal. It was also the day before Thanksgiving though, so I sort of get it. Overall, I had a pretty good pre-op experience. However, when my sister came here 3 years ago for ACL reconstruction, she never regained feeling in the front of her shin. When she called about it, they said it probably wasn't their fault. I can recommend Beacon and Kremchek for any sports-related injury, but my sister wouldn't say the same. So take that for whatever it's worth. UPDATE: I'm a month out from surgery and I have healed remarkably quickly thanks to the stud Physical Therapy team. So, I dropped the score for Kremchek not the entirety of the team. Beacon as an organization has been wonderful, but I've been continually unimpressed with Kremchek as a person/doctor. The appointment I had remove my brace (read: leg cage) was on the calendar for a month, but I got a call a few days beforehand that said it had to be moved due to Reds spring training or something. I was going to have to wait another week or two to get my brace taken off, even though my healing progressed well enough to remove it. I had to ask to be seen by another doc because this brace is the PITS and I want it off ASAP. So I am seeing Valezquez. It's just obvious that Kremchek prioritizes his celebrity (well, it's the Reds, so maybe that's not the right word) clients over average people.
