This Doctor is an ambulance chaser. Contacted me after an emergency visit for broken wrist. I was told by others that tried to get an appointment with this doctor and couldn't , that he will not give you an appointment unless it is a situation that he can talk you into surgery. I went for surgery because the doctor told me I needed it . Doctor did not give me another option even though my bone was perfectly aligned. i believe Ganz did not do the surgery. Stony Brook is a teaching hospital; they allow inexperienced doctors to learn on patients. I woke up in agony. Whoever did the surgery failed to give me pain medicine numbing agent before closing up. I believe the Doctor has a strange attitude . I was left after the surgery in agony for hours. The doctor seamed to enjoy the situation offered no relief. I ended up staying in the hospital it was so bad. I was given drugs but the pain was so bad it could not be relieved at that point. After putting pins in my bone the doctor still kept me in a cast for six weeks. I thought that was normal but now I question it. I told the doctor my had was numb in parts. Doctor responded by saying there is no way it could be numb because no nerves were damaged. This was obviously a lie. I thought it strange before surgery they undid my gown, got it ready to take it off. Was I naked during surgery? That has never happened before. The entire experience wa horrible. I would stay away from this doctor even though he has a good reputation. He was the first person to amputate a persons toe to use a a thumb. This could make his a pioneer or self serving?. To amputate a perfectly good toe to put on a hand is kind of gross in a way. This Doctor has his own agenda I would stay away.
