My son had muscle torn off the clavicle, this clown suggested lifting weights and getting right back to sports. He did the MRI but I don't think he knows how to read them. My son still had problems with the clavicle 2 years later.

I saw Dr Filion for hip pain. He took X-rays and an MRI. After reviewing them, saying I had fluid in my hip, he sent me to therapy. In three months I developed difficulty walking and doing daily things. I am 29, 6'5", and athletic. Hearing my problem got worse, Dr. Filion suggested 3 more months of therapy and a cortizone shot. I left, and was referred to Dr. Kelly at HSS, who took new MRIs. I am currently recovering from my 3rd surgery for LABRAL TEARS and BONE SPURS in both hip sockets, and doing much better. There was no fluid, it was inflamed tissue. Dr Filion was so indifferent to my problem it bordered on rudeness. The first time he seemed rushed; The second time I saw him my visit was less than 5 minutes. I timed it. He exhibited no interest in my problem. I have talked to others who have had the same experience. I would be a cripple if I was still under Dr. Filion's "care", and if I gave my job as little attention and interest as he did his, I'd be unemployed.
