Too bad you don't live closer to Phila., 'cause i LOVE, WORSHIP & ADORE my ortho. He primarily does spines. The patients in the waiting room call him "Saint Sutton". He's amazing, compassionate, caring, concerned. I commented on his bedside manner, and he said he was just a normal person. Yeah...doing extraordinary stuff. He gave me my life back. The problems I have now have nothing to do with where he operated. It's just a continuing degenerative problem sneaking up and down my spine. He won't operate unless necessary. I just had an epidural and he insists I him call 2 weeks later. He has patients from all over. His reputation is unbelievable.

I feel for your pain and the situation you had. Listen, I've changed my primary doc because he's a jerk. I looked around until I found a gem. It's my body and money. I would (and have) freaked out . I hope you find satisfaction.
