I called no less than one dozen doctors . I decided to try Dr Sazy even though he was a little further from where I live. I was becoming desperate as no one had any urgency to help me. I already knew I had no more than a 7 to 10 day window to get surgery. But when I was calling these orthopedics, they were talking about seeing me in weeks or months, not days. And that was if I could even get someone on the phone. There were a number of them that I called no less than five times spoke to no one. Dr Sazy was the only one with a live answering service and not a voicemail system . I was able to find out when I would be able to get someone on the phone and was able to secure an appointment for the next day. When I went for the appointment the next day, I waited a reasonable amount of time and was helped by Leslie until the doctor came in . The doctor took a good amount of time, showing me what the issue was, and proposing how he would fix it. I had written down a list of questions, and he was happy to give me his time to answer every last one of them. He did not make me feel, rushed in any way, like my questions were stupid or unimportant. He had a sense of urgency to correct the issue so that I might be able to make a 100% recovery without even any arthritis.
Leslie worked her behind off to get approval from my insurance. She was literally calling them every 30 minutes to press them for the approval as the surgery had become urgent while I was trying to find an orthopedic.
Within 24 hours, we had surgery scheduled for the next day at 7 AM. The doctor came in before the surgery to talk to me and again and answer any questions that I had. He went over with me personally, my post op instructions. Again, he took a good amount of time with me, and made me feel that he truly cared. When I was waking up from anesthetic, he was also there to let me know personally that everything went great and went over the instructions again with my caretaker so that nothing would get missed. I truly feel that Dr. Sazy is an old-school doctor. It is completely obvious that medicine for him is a calling more than it is a business. This is so refreshing in this day and age. He is also a very skilled surgeon as I have had zero pain six days after surgery. Swelling is minimal as well. I love Dr Sazy. His office is independent so it might not be fancy like some of the big medical groups. The staff is friendly and seems to know all the patients by name. I had a family doctor growing up that was a Marcus Welby type. He would make house calls, hand hold or whatever you needed to make you feel better. He was an amazing doctor and honestly Dr Sazy reminds me of him. Healthcare has become such a business that there is just a lot less care than there used to be. I look forward to a full recovery with the help of Dr Sazy and his wonderful staff. read more
