In 1999 I came to Dr Dommisse after a big fall down a hill knowing full well that the Harrington rods & the fusions done to my spine in 1971 were broken. I was in a lot of pain. Dr Dommisse kept moving my surgery date to repair the damage. In 2001 I finally got a surgery date. I walked into the operating room and was shocked to see just how bad my back was in. I have a very rare type of scoliosis double “S” double rotating. Prior to my surgery date Dr Dommisse said the surgery will last about 2 hours. When Dr Dommisse came into the operating room I questioned him about these Xray that were in the light box because up until this point I had seen my X-rays yearly although he refused to let me see these prior to my surgery date. He actually admitted that he never looked them until that morning & said oh well this will take at least 8 hours. During the surgery I had to be intubated several times as well as there were issues with me bleeding out. When I woke up from the surgery Dr Dommisse told me that the rods sure so corroded that it was 1/4” shards. Dr Dommisse should have re-fused my spine as well re-instated harrington rods. He did never! As a result even though my GP sent me with my files to 30 different Orthopaedic Surgeons none of them would touch me because my spine is too comprised due to that surgery. Today my spine has fallen to the point where I’ve lost 7” in height & the pain is unbearable. Do not trust this man!
