If the possibility to leave zero stars existed, I would be leaving zero stars. I had my hip replaced March 2022, and I'm in more pain than I was prior to surgery. After two years of experiencing excruciating hip, knee and pelvic floor pain, Dr. David Nazarian couldn't tell me why I was in this much pain so I went to his P.A. Ryan Fletcher. Ryan couldn't tell me why either. They said my hip replacement looked great. They also couldn't tell me why the very small meniscus tear in my knee that I've had for 30 years was bothering me like it had been ripped apart. After finding absolutely no answers I did the only thing I could do and I requested my medical charts from 1978 until current. What I discovered was this...On six different MRI Reports (since 2016) it had stated that I had a Müllerian Duct cyst in my midline, almost attached to my left. The actual source of ten years of pain. The cyst is pressing on my perennial nerve causing indescribable pain in my hip, knee, foot and it sends my entire pelvic floor into disruption (which includes constipation, urination problems and severe testicle pain). The stark realization I have come to at just 46 years old is this. Despite the fact that I have a rare disease that only 200 people in the world share (CLOVES Syndrome), Dr. David Nazarian did a hip replacement that I did not need. Had he slowed down, asked more questions, taken a look at any of the previous hip MRIs, and there were five of them, he would have seen the cyst. He did not clearly and thoughtfully read my medical reports that were all available to him. I went to see Nazarian last week and Rothman sure has a sense of humor asking me to fill out a survey. Two things occurred at the Appt. 1. Dr. Nazarian told me had no idea what a Mullerian Duct cyst was however after some discussion, he tried to claim that it was something that a urologist should have taken care of previously (Or in the future). When I told Nazarian I did not need the hip replacement, he stared at me blankly and said nothing. He admitted that he did not see the cyst on my MRIs claiming that they weren't available to him. 2. Dr. Nazarian took ZERO responsibility for this MAJOR MEDICAL OVERSIGHT. He was defensive about almost everything I brought up. Now as it stands, I'm desperately trying to find a doctor to perform this very rare surgery and I am completely lost. Müllerian Duct cysts are generally found in women and my Urologist has never seen it. I have begun reading research papers from medical students who have dealt with this issue and have had no luck in contacting anyone. If there's anyone out there who knows anything about Müllerian Duct issues, please be in touch with me if you can. I will say one last thing about this issue and it's the most important thing I can say about Healthcare in America... PLEASE BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE

Pro athletes that have gotten this surgery include Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds, Steven Stamkos, Shayne Gostisbhere, Brand Marchand, Rhys Hoskins, Kevin Hayes, Odell Beckham. Research what happened to them after they got surgery from Dr Meyers. I got core muscle surgery at Vincera 10 years ago after seeing Dr Meyers. He told me it would take 6-8 weeks to heal. I did everything they asked me to do but it was very clear they didn't care about me because I wasn't an influential athlete. My physical therapist was either still in training or had just finished. I also told them several times my legs weren't healing the way I thought they would but no one seemed to care. I was in so much pain the next 3 years it hurt to get out of my bed or out of my car. It is now 10 years later and I still have to do pt 3 days a week and dry needling once a week to be a fraction of the person I was before. The nonchalance and medical neglect of this entire staff has negatively impacted my entire life for what will be over a decade. Thanks for ruining my life.

I was told from the beginning my insurance would cover the therapy, I paid the $40 co-pay for each visit. I thought this was normal. The extra $551.14 really makes me angry.

My meniscus tore again in 2016 and again I had a surgical repair. In 2018, my meniscus tore again for the third time. I consulted with the doctor who performed my original repair and he recommended I consult with Dr. Carey about the possibility of a meniscal transplant. My doctor removed more than 50% of my meniscus and discovered that I had already developed arthritis in my knee (at the age of 22). Within a few months I had surgery to transplant a cadaver meniscus and for the first time in 6 years, I have a perfectly functioning knee! My leg is stronger and better than it had felt in years and I owe it all to Dr. Carey, the extreeeeemely helpful Sabrina, and the rest of the staff. I highly recommend Dr. Carey!

It took me two hours to fill all of it out (that part did not bother me) and I sent it in immediately. When I arrived for my appointment, I approached the front desk, only to have the receptionist ask me most of the questions all over again. After about 15 minutes of me standing there in pain (I have a fractured vertebrae) while she was asking me the same questions that I had already answered, I told her that I had already filled out the applications and could she please obtain the information from them. She said "No". She even had the audacity to check the box that says "Non-Hispanic", in regards to my heritage. As I am from a Latin-American country, Spanish was my first language and I only recently became a U.S. Citizen, I was rather annoyed that she would assume that I am "non hispanic", and I pointed out to her, that I am INDEED Hispanic, and if she had bothered to read my admission form (that I had already filled out), she would have known this. Additionally, I was standing right in front of her, so she could have asked me. Dr. Gautam Kothari as well as the X ray technician were both very professional and the Dr. has an excellent bedside manner. He did not talk down to me like many other medical doctors have and this, I found, to be refreshing. Overall, the actual medical care received at Rothman was a good experience for me. It is the receptionist that needs to get it together.

The older lady at the front desk and the older lady completing x-rays should both be terminated or reeducated on how to talk to others professionally. I witnessed it first hand how they treated a minority saying they do not accept their insurance and again with an unwelcoming tone, and to call their insurance to find in-network providers. I personally would have offered to help contact the insurance company or help them look on the website to email them the list of providers instead of rolling my eyes in annoyance. The tech needs to work on her people skills too. If there's nothing nice to say, she should keep her comments to herself.

It has now been 11 months, and I am still not "back to normal". Still experiencing stiffness and pain. I also did months of P. T. but this did not seem to help. One of my biggest frustrations is that Dr. Nazarian did not schedule any follow up exams, except to remove the staples. The only time I saw him after the surgery was when I called for an appointment because there was an issue. First, I experienced bleeding from the incision. He addressed that issue. Next, I experienced an accumulation of fluid around the incision. A large "bubble" of fluid appeared below my knee cap. I called for an appointment and the doctor drained the fluid. When the pain persisted, I called for yet another appointment. After an exam, Dr. Nazarian said the pain was due to a "hip problem." I honestly got upset when he made that recommendation, but I followed through with the doctor that Dr. Nazarian recommended and who did an injection into my hip. That did absolutely nothing to alleviate the pain. I followed up with Dr. Nazarian again, and he then recommended a pain management doctor who would perform an "ablation of the sensory nerves around the knee." Of course, this is a totally "symptomatic" approach to my pain. Dr. Nazarian never once considered that there may be something wrong with the knee itself. Following Dr. Nazarian's advice, I had the ablation done. Of course, since the nerves were chemically destroyed, the pain was reduced by about 85%. But I am told, this is a temporary fix. It may last only 6 months or so, or perhaps a year. Never once did Dr Nazarian take any images of my knee, nor perform a complete exam of the knee to see if it was his handiwork that was causing my pain. What frustrates me the most, is that I was a regularly active person prior to my knee issues......I walked trails, I biked, I play racquetball, pickleball three times a week, worked out at a gym, and now simply walking around the supermarket is a challenge. If you ae considering knee replacement, do your due diligence, get several opinions. I hope you have a better outcome.
