Dr. Stanton refused for me to receive home healthcare to aid in my recovery in spited of my insurance approving it and me needing it. He had a total disregard of my condition or needs. BEWARE!

I am just leaving KCOI in Leawood where the doctor I saw over the weekend at KCOI Urgent Care…read morescheduled an MRI on my cervical spine. I checked in for the appointment today, paid my co-pay and waited for a technician to call me. Once I got in the MRI department, I reminded the tech that I have a Spinal Cord Stimulator implanted by Dr. Fotopolis in 2024. I had discussed this with the tech and doctor that saw me in the Urgent Care department. I also recorded it on the intake form that day. The tech told me they don't have the correct MRI machine to do any MRI's on patients with stimulator implants and none of their facilities do and I needed to make an appt. at an independent imaging company. The people I spoke with today at KCOI were very apologetic and I understand mistakes are made. What I am upset about is evidently the doctors at KCOI put in 100's of stimulators each year and are supposedly they are the #1 rated Ortho Hospital in the city, yet they don't choose to buy an imaging machine that is stimulator compatible. Frankly, I was stunned

After a hospitalization and an initial consultation with another orthopedic surgeon--who only ordered X-rays on the day surgery was scheduled, then canceled without providing a clear plan--we knew it was time to get a second opinion. That's when we found KC Orthopedic. Their team carefully reviewed all prior records and matched us with Dr. Peer, who proved to be the perfect physician for this complex case. From the start, Dr. Peer showed incredible professionalism and attention to detail. He coordinated with the primary care provider to order the necessary X-rays, EKGs, and labs. He also took the time to understand the full medical history, including a difficult past knee replacement on the other leg that had led to complications. Dr. Peer approached surgery with extraordinary care. He spent nearly four hours performing the knee replacement to ensure precision and safety. The outcome was remarkable--the knee was usable right away, and there has been no post-operative pain. After such a disappointing experience with the first surgeon, working with Dr. Peer was a completely different experience. He listened, cared deeply, and was prepared every step of the way. We are beyond grateful for Dr. Peer's skill and dedication, and we wholeheartedly recommend him and KC Orthopedic to anyone in need of orthopedic care. Truly the best physician we've ever worked with.
