My husband had back surgery in 2018 by a neurosurgeon here in Kalamazoo. That surgery needed to be…read moreredone within 2 months. Being naive about back surgeries we thought my husband was getting the best care he could. After the 2nd surgery failed miserably a friend suggested that we see Dr. Nicholas Shroeder at OSOC. Within minutes of meeting with us he explained clearly why the first two surgeries had failed. By this point my husband is in constant pain and can no longer stand up straight. Dr. Shroeder explained what he felt the best course of action was going to be for Tom's situation. Dr. Shroeder had the new pieces needed for Tom's back made specifically for him in France. The previous neurosurgeon had just grabbed any rods and screws within reach. That was what kept Tom from standing upright. The picture on the right shows the neurosurgeon placed straight rods in his back. Losing the natural curve is what kept him from ever standing straight and in excruciating pain. The picture on the left is what was needed to give Tom the ability to walk and have a good quality of life again. This shows the difference between an excellent surgeon and one who should never be allowed to practice medicine again. The day of the surgery was a very long one. Dr Shroeder performed the 14 hour surgery to correct the neurosurgeon's mess. He actually had to rebuild Tom's back vertebrae by vertebrae. There were a few appointments before the surgery and a few during the next year. It is a 3 hour drive each way for appointments/surgery. Both my husband and I feel that the drive back and forth saved his life. I do not say that lightly. It's been 6 years since his surgery at OSOC and we are so grateful to Dr. Shroeder and his wonderful staff, especially Liz. Their knowledge, patience, compassion and kindness is so appreciated.

He did my full right knee replacement 8 years ago and a full left knee replacement almost one year ago. Both surgeries were a great sucess with a speedy recovery.

The physical therapists are in direct contact with Dr. Kassab so they are able to track and report your progress. Very highly recommended! Leanne Oxford, MI

He didn't show up for scheduled follow-up appts, never saw or called me in the hospital. Nor did he send a replacement. Weeks later, I underwent a second, emergency replacement of Schultz's replacement. Five weeks after the surgery, I suffered two separate dislocations and screaming ambulance trips because he left me so damaged. I even required ADDITIONAL surgery and extremely difficult repairs a few years after the second replacement. I'm now seriously and permanently disabled. And his online photo is at least 25 years old. Just one more lie. James Moravek didn't listen to me for a YEAR while I told him I was in pain after a shoulder replacement. When he finally took images, there were fractures in my scapula from the screws. He told me he would repair and replace it again. Instead I woke up with half of the original replacement. I now have NO shoulder. JAMES TELFER called me a "problem child" when the shoulder surgery he performed didn't work. A surgeon in another practice fixed it. MASINI massively underestimated the care I'd need after my fourth hip surgery. The last time I saw him, he told me to call him in a few weeks to get more information about a question I had. My messages to him went ignored for months. When I repeatedly inquired, I finally got a message to call for an appointment with him. I immediately did, but was told he had retired. I had no notice of that, and telling me to call for an appointment with HIM was obviously a lie. He was gone. They just wanted me to stay with the practice. They offered me SCHULTZ. (see above.) Then they suggested I see Masini's PA, MATT. I'd already told the practice I never wanted to see Matt again. I've never met a more dismissive pat-her-on-the-shoulder-and-get-rid-of-her man in my life. And I've met plenty. This place is a nightmare.

At the same time he broke his ankle so severely that his foot laid completely off to one side and his bone was sticking out where his foot should have been. That night in the emergency room they told me that my husband would most likely lose the leg. Thank goodness they had Dr Borden on call. Surprisingly the knee was the most complicated fix. Eight or nine surgeries on that and three on the ankle later, despite a shredded tendon and a massive infection that developed, Brian managed to not only save my husband's leg, it is entirely functional and he only walks with a slight limp. He is simply a genius and I am so grateful to him. One of the things I like best about Dr Borden is his bedside manner. He is direct and strraightforward. He does not sugarcoat anything but he does not take away hope either. He is innovative and does everything he can to treat the injury in a manner that will result best for the patient. He made sure to keep us both fully informed and I really trusted him because of it. Recently when my mom dealt with a bad shoulder that did not respond to treatment she did not hesitate and went straight to Dr Borden He got better x rays done and gave her a clear and more accurate diagnosis, discovering her shoulder was not impingement or a rotator cuff problem at all but rather a frozen shoulder. I recommend him to everyone I know.

After 10 days I still had pain and couldn't walk or put any weight on my leg. I called the office for an emergency appointment and was told I couldn't get an appointment for 18 days.

They put my leg in a brace, no weightbearing and I see a trauma orthopedic physician next week and may need surgery. What do people do when they have a severe emergent injury and a doctors office won't see them on an emergent basis? Disturbing.

First visit went fine…read more After a while I went back for a follow up, and the doctor I had seen (Dr. Rubin) either completely forgot every detail of my case or failed to review the very few details in my file. He started by checking the mobility around my knee and proceeded to talk about arthritis in my knee and the complications from my surgery. Problem is, I never had surgery, never complained about arthritis in my knee, and, as he should've known from checking me during my first appointment, I never had restricted mobility. So, the doc either didn't take the time to review my file or he was very careless. Sure, mistakes happen, but after I told him he had the details wrong, he didn't apologize or check for other errors. Seemed mostly worried about getting me out the door. I do not recommend.
