07.18.26-UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS REVIEWS:
It has been over ten months now since Dr. Vo completely damaged my life after he muffed my left knee replacement surgery that was conducted under Watson Clinic Orthopedic Department, Lakeland, Fl.
This disgrace of a doctor and this Orthopedic Staff did everything they could to avoid taking accountability by going as far as to criticize and accuse my military medical service records as my concerns were a "mental illness" and that I was being confrontational. Well, Vo and WC Staff, YOU MESSED UP! As explained below, I had the Veteran Admin reassign me to a completely different orthopedic provider for a second opinion of the health of my left knee and entire left leg now for that matter as the complications have grown into much worse with now suffering from chronic nerve damage to my left leg. Florida Orthopedic Institute and my new surgeon have just determined that my left knee replacement hardware installed by Vo at Watson Clinic is completely unstable. I live with extreme pain and nerve damage now due to Vo's incompetence. I have now been scheduled for a complete REVISION replacement surgery on my left knee taking place on August 20, 2026. Ten months following Vo's and Watson Clinic denial to address any concerns. Doctor Vo is a disgrace to the medical community and every medical professional that I have had examine my left knee and leg following Vo's ignorance have all said the exact same thing, what a shame this had to happen to you as this doctor did you absolutely no favors and that the statement and photos from when Vo had me in his care, prove even with out a doubt that Vo neglected another patient to protect his EGO!
03.31.26-Do yourselves a favor and stay clear of dr phuc vo and watson clinic!! attention all, posting update to last review. after withdrawing from watson clinic orthopedic dept's dr. phuc vo's care and finally receiving proper medical attention from a legitimate medical facility, i was finally able to consult with my new doctor at florida orthopedic institute. what an amazing difference in professionalism, medical knowledge and compassion. my new orthopedic surgeon was able to physically examine and verify my concern for the left knee complications that vo left me with following left knee replacement surgery. unfortunately, florida orthopedic has been working on a treatment plan in an attempt to resolve the results of what vo left me with when he abandoned me with an open incision for eight straight days leading to serious post-op complications but with little positive results. now i am faced with possible two stage revision surgery to correct vo's mess.
12.02.26-phuc vo has a very dangerous ego. don't just take my word for it, read some of the other horror story reviews from his other victims. we should all petition together to have his license to practice medicine revoked. my biggest regret is i did not research and decline this jerk after the veteran administration community care office assigned him to me as my orthopedic surgeon and prior to him cutting into me and damaging me. furthermore, vo attempted to attack my military service medical records to defer attention on his patient rather than taking responsibility for his screwup. this man should be held accountable but unfortunately, he is backed by big corporate and he knows it. clint.r.wunderly@gmail.com 321.277.3407 vo performed left knee replacement surgery on September 29, 2025. i am still experiencing complications due this man's arrogance. he failed to address the surgical incision that opened (see photo 1) up the same evening following discharge from surgery, then he failed to respond properly leaving my leg incision open for eight days resulting in a full blown hematoma (see photo 2) of my entire left leg. he left me in this condition for eight straight days before addressing and suturing. now i have underlying scar tissue that is going to take extensive therapy and years to recover from. i withdrew from watson clinic orthopedic care on march 23, 2026. this paragraph below is from a twelve page notarized sworn statement that i submitted against watson clinic's dr. phuc vo. as of march 31, 2026, there has been little to no improvement in the health of my left knee since i last visited watson clinic orthopedic department, dr. vo and staff on december 2, 2025. the underlying scar tissue buildup surrounding my knee is causing continuous pain and discomfort. there is obvious bulging on the left side of my knee that is sensitive to the touch and extremely painful. i am still unable to place any pressure or weight on the left knee by kneeling for example, kneel to prey during sunday mass, without excruciating pain where underlying scar tissue and incision/suture site. for that matter, the problem has only grown into a much larger scale now with vascular issues radiating down through my lower left leg causing severe venular bulging in lower left leg and pain in my left foot. read more
