I fractured both wrists in a fall in April. During treatment I had addressed my concern of increased pain and swelling I was experiencing I was told by Dr Sinha that I was fine and just had a low pain tolerance. Which is not the case. I had also requested additional testing to find out the cause of the pain I was denied by Dr Sinha additional testing due to my payer source. (insurance) After my cast was removed Dr Sinha also denied giving me a supportive brace also do to payer source, in his words He stated to me he was instructed not to give anything extra to people with x insurance because they lose money instead of make money. But he freely handed out scripts of Norco instead of addressing the concern. Then they treat you like a drug seeker. In addition to this he took my left handed brace that I had to wear after he performed surgery on my left arm and attempted to put it on my right hand. I am a medical professional and was in shock by his behavior. I was given a script for physical therapy by Dr Sinha it was then followed by good luck finding someone who will take your insurance because they pay x amount of dollars and physical therapists charge x amount of dollars. Here we are today almost 4 months later I am still unable to work due to pain, stiffness causing lack of range of motion and complications from my wrists. Now every time I turn my left wrist that he installed a plate and 10 screws in it grinds its painful and causes my hand and fingers to go numb and you can physically feel the hardware.. I personally would not suggest this Dr and beware. Took me a month to get into anothet local orthopedic and it was completely worth the wait.
