A routine surgery gone bad…read more I had three trigger finger surgeries performed by Anderson. The first one on my thumb was hugely successful and led me to have the other two fingers done some years later. Surgery was scheduled with the 'new' hand guy and performed on the right hand with no apparent complications. After removing dressing I notice the incision was not sutured so that the sides lined up resulting in a pucker in my palm and even a misalignment of the line that goes across the palm. I bright this up with my surgeon and he brushed me off saying it would 'flatten' after some time. Ok, so two weeks later I go for the left hand, same procedure. I was in the room and they were prepping me for the surgery. The doctor came in the room and injected me with the numbing solution, and I commented, "last time your assistant cleaned my whole arm with butadiene solution prior to injection." This created a bit of a stir as they scurried to clean the area after they made the injections. Surgery was performed and I went on my way. Fast forward 10 days. Recovery was going ok, although right hand very stiff but left (most recent) all of the sudden became very stiff and painful. I went to their office the next morning and from the parking lot they told me that they were too busy to see me and that only my surgeon could see me do come back tomorrow. Disappointedly I left with my swollen and very painful hand. I returned the next morning in worse shape. The surgeon didn't even get me into the exam room and told me to admit myself to the hospital. He said I had an infection in my hand and it needed to be cleaned out and I needed strong antibiotics. The hand had become quite inflamed and very painful but that was just the beginning. Surgery was very invasive adding three more incisions, rooting around and flushing around the tendons and then not stitching back up but letting the wounds heal from an open state. I met with infectious disease staff and they recommended strong antibiotics while they tried to sort out my specific infection. Two days after surgery, the surgeon visited, and performed a probing and painful examination of my hand with no gloves. Two days later I was released from the hospital with a very painful hand. I went back for follow up with the surgeon and he said give both hands time and recommend occupational therapy. 20 sessions later, I can't make a tight fist with either hand, have lost grip strength, and the tendons are so tight they lift in the palm of my hands when I do close my fists. Very uncomfortable every day. The misaligned sutures never 'flattened' out and the trigger finger surgeries were a total fail. I'd never recommend having it done to anybody. I don't think my hands will ever be the same, but Anderson got paid in full and showed no concern whatsoever after I walked out the door.

Went to Dr Schipper to address an ankle repair from a car accident that was done by another surgeon…read morefrom a different practice. After 2 years of pain and loss of range of motion, I reached out to Dr Schipper for an evaluation. Very quickly he was able to determine something to try to help my pain and range of motion. Almost immediately I saw positive results, but I still wasn't seeing the gains I wanted. Upon my follow up visit we discussed other options which resulted in a low risk surgery. I decided to go this route, and now 2 weeks post op I'm extremely glad I did. Even the day after surgery I could immediately feel the improvement in my range of motion and to my surprise I basically had zero pain. If it wasn't for the stitches I would have thought I dreamed that I had surgery vs it actually having happened. I couldn't be happier with the results thus far and can't wait to see what additional gains I get after completing PT.

When my daughter was finally able to choose a specialist for her needed surgery, she chose Dr. Schipper at Anderson Orthopedics, and we could not be happier.

I'm currently on month ten since an injury and Dr. Asomugha is the second doctor I've been to, and…read morethe only one who was able to actually identify a problem and solve it. Wasn't thrilled the solution required surgery, but I am about 10 weeks post surgery and working on getting myself back to normal. I have a pretty long recovery ahead still, but am beyond grateful for Dr. Asomugha and her team. OrthoVirginia is fantastic. Everyone on the staff has been helpful and kind, explained everything I needed and even very patiently spoke to my parents to explain to them what was going on. After about two months of visits, Dr. Asomugha recommended surgery. I am a little over two months since surgery and while I'm still not back to 'normal' life, the (minimal) exercises I am cleared to do in PT are pain free - I am so very optimistic about having a pain free future and getting back to working out again in the near future. In one of my post op appointments, my scar looked hideous and was making me nauseous and she handled my being a giant baby like a charm and told me a story of her having a similar moment, so I felt a lot better about my small freak out. When I had a (non-related to surgery, but in the area) problem, she immediately made time for me, gave me her personal phone number and genuinely showed concern for my issue, even though it didn't have anything to do with her surgery. She truly cares about her patients and their well being. I am so grateful for finding Dr. A online and her team. I have been to both the Duke St. and Walker Lane locations and the staff at both is extraordinarily friendly. Wait times are small, I am always seen within 5 minutes of my appointment time and I never feel rushed, but don't feel like the appointments drag on. I 100000% recommend Dr. A for anyone having leg/ankle/foot issues - I hope that after I am done recovering I never have to use her again, but will in a heartbeat if I ever tear something again. She is an amazing surgeon and a truly fantastic doctor.
