    Action Plan
    On the initial visit he was quite friendly and patient. After the surgery was a whole other story. The post-op instructions are so vague I had next to no idea what to do after surgery. I called the office to find out how long to leave the tensor bandage on and the receptionist was very short and said "talk to your GP". I went in to have the stitches removed after 2 weeks and was treated so bad I couldn't believe it! The Doctor was angry with me for using a cane even though I was finding it difficult to walk without it. "Push through the pain and stop babying it" he said. I have been on sites where Drs said it was fine to start off with crutches then work toward a cane then after awhile start walking without it. I also had to find my own post-op exercises on line as none were given. I will never go back to him nor would I ever recommend him.
