Dr. Falconer of Summit Orthopedics was clearly overscheduled. We waited 45 mins to see him. He spent 2 mins with us diagnosing our daughter's broken arm, and in that time managed to be condesending and arrogant! His staff isn't much better. They are presumptive and assume that their lack of communication is YOUR problem to deal with. Would not recommend this practice at all.

My wife waited 6 weeks to see Dr. Falconer to get a image guided injection to the radial nerve in her arm. One hour late we were taken into the exam room, two minutes into the exam Dr. Falconer had my wife in tears, from cranking and twisting on her on her arm. We were told that most of her problem was that she was a female over the age of 40 years. Dr. Falconer agreed with Amys doctor that she had a radial nerve problem and he was the person that could do something to get her better. He advised us that he could do the injection and if it did not work there was nothing else that could be done. Surgery was only done if the injection relieved the pain for awhile. Having said all this he took out a shringe and filled it with pain killer. Then while the door to the exam room was still open he numbed the area in the forarm and stuck her with needle and pushed all the fluid into her arm. Our comment was "IMAGE GUIDED"??? His was, "that is for doctors that dont know what they are doing".

This amount was paid by the OWCP. What a waste of time and money. He hurt me, discredited me, assumed things about me, made quotes on the OWCP letter that I did not say, was very very rude, and was working 100% for the DOL/OWCP. He was paid a lot of money to keep me from getting my benefits. He examined me for about 20 minutes, said that I faked the tests and in his "opinion" I should be video taped because I was faking on all the tests and was getting paid by the DOL with out me being injured. Because of his decision, I am facing foreclosure, loss of my vehicle, no pain medication for my 24/7 pain, faced with thousand's of dollars in Dr. bills, and no income coming in whatsoever. I would not suggest this Dr. for any type of procedure. He works for money only, not your welfare.
