In Dec. 2020 I began to notice muscle loss on my right hand between my thumb & forefinger. Tetro…read morewas recommended & I was able to get in, even though we were still within COVID. Tetro & his sidekick Jason sent me to an MD who did electrical impulse testing on both arms & hands. Tetro & Jason (especially Tetro) then became insistent that the only way to save both of my hands & arms (Tetro insisted there was no other way) was to do ulnar nerve transpositions, moving the funny bone nerves to the inside of the elbows on both arms. He insisted on also doing carpal tunnel cuts on both wrists. Because of COVID, I couldn't get in for a second opinion & mistakenly believed Tetro & Jason were ethical & trustworthy. So in the Spring and then the Fall of 2021, Tetro, with Jason by his side, did the ulnar nerve transposition & carpal tunnel cuts on both arms and wrists. In the post-surgery instructions it states that ANY excess bleeding should be reported to the surgeon & BOY, was there EVER excess bleeding from the ulnar nerve transposition surgeries. This is where my nightmare with Tetro & Jason (besides the incredible pain of nerve surgery!) REALLY began! Tetro was VERY angry that I was "bothering them about the bleeding", as he unprofessionally bellowed out that the insurance ONLY pays for a certain amount of post-operative visits! Throughout the rest of 2021 & throughout all of 2022, Tetro became the NASTIEST SOB you'd ever NOT want to know! At one point at an appointment, he opened a toilet-mouthed rant on my wife and myself about things that were so ludicrous & insane, it defied any sense of reason or professionalism. He did this with the door to the examining room open(!), so afterwards I obtained the names of 3 medical workers who heard everything. As I continued to have muscle loss & pain in both hands & arms, Tetro became more indignant & nastier. Still in COVID & unable to get in with another hand/arm MD, I made an appt. only with Jason to try a different tact. Tetro came in WITH Jason & they both told me they'd have me see Tetro's partner Fishkin, a spine specialist. At that appt., Fishkin told my wife & myself that he was going to stop the muscle atrophy & now continuing on & off pain in my hands & arms by removing the top 2 vertebrae below my skull!!! Fishkin also said that after his surgery, I might not be able to speak again! WOW! My wife & I asked Fishkin if this would solve the problem & he said he didn't know(!), so my wife & I left! We realized that ANYTHING was better than staying at Pinnacle! Finally able to get in to see another hand/arm orthopedist as COVID restrictions loosened, that MD did the same tests Tetro had initially done 2 years prior. He said that he had NO idea why ANY surgery was ever done on my hands & arms and recommended I make an appointment with a neurologist. My new neurologist discovered I had ALS, which was the reason for the continuing muscle atrophy & other issues. Obviously Tetro & Fishkin HAD to have known there was a possibility of ALS or something pertaining to nerve & muscle issues, but they NEVER bothered to send me for a proper neurological workup BEFORE Tetro did FOUR UNNECESSARY SURGERIES! I don't even want to think about what Fishkin wanted to do surgically below my skull by removing 2 vertebrae at the top of my spine, which also would have been for no reason! Please ALWAYS see a neurologist for ANY muscle atrophy or nerve issues BEFORE agreeing to any surgeries! Please also see the ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) site, as it's important to know what they say about how many unprofessional 'MDs' there are out there feigning ignorance like Tetro & Fishkin concerning ALS & other disorders! I've since learned that because of CRETINS like Tetro, Jason & Fishkin, it takes on the average of two years before ALS & other nerve disorders are discovered, with many of these criminals going straight to surgery! It's bad enough that I have a terminal diagnosis, but four unnecessary surgeries over two years by Tetro & with what Fishkin WANTED to do, adds major insult to incredible injury!

But while they did give me a little advice for a bad groin injury I have, they wouldn't actually inspect or X-ray it (not even if I paid half of it up front), because I did not have an insurance carrier. I know that things in America are weird and done a certain way, but I was a little disappointed because my soccer-playing friend had more stuff than this done for free, just because he does have a carrier (which did not pay a penny for that).
