I had knee replacement surgery performed by Dr. Bachalter in September of 2020. I cannot say enough good about him, the team at OrthoMaryland and the physical therapy component of the practice.

I had outpatient surgery on my knee on Friday. I was there before noon and got operated on around five. He told my sister it only took him ten minutes. Following Tuesday Pain and knee drained of blood in office. Following Saturday went the EER in pain and leg swelling up. His practice wanted to send me home without seeing me. I refused to leave, an was admitted. I pasted out from pain and taken to ICU for three days (got three pints of blood, BP got as low as 60/40) and eight more in hospital. When I saw him in ICU, he said he did nothing wrong. We argued and I told him we would have to talk about it later (I am in ICU and in bad pain). He would not stop. So I FIRED HIM and told him to get out. Days later he came to my room and said HE DECIDED TO GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE. His site says he knows how his patients feel and cares. I don't think so. I found that he only cares about him self.
