Doctor Saunders performed a total knee replacement on my right knee back on April 1st of this year…read more Saw him for follow-up a few weeks later and told me I was doing well. Last month I was feeling pain and discomfort and saw him again. On that visit he told me different people heal differently. Well, today is 7 months later and my lack of stability and discomfort has not improved at all. I tried to tell him that on my last visit my concern and he pretty much told me it takes time. I made an appointment at another office and hope for a better outcome.

I thought long and hard about posting this because Dr. Saunders is a good doctor. But the…read moreexperience I had with his office was terrible. I waited 45 minutes and still did not get called and inquired about it. I noticed people going in after I had been there. So. visibly annoyed I asked again and said I would be outside. Was then called in, and waited again and when I went looking for water, Dr. asked if I was lost and wasn't going to put up with this BS. He told me his staff said I was a problem. Regardless of whether I was annoyed or whatever, instead of being met with understanding and maybe a sorry about the wait, they told the boss I was a problem leading to the doctor to reprimand me and I didn't hold back on him either. I think it is very wrong for them to make anyone wait an extensive amount of time. There are times these things happen, but you deal with them in a better manner that does not precipitate further animosity in a heighten emotional situation. In other words, say you're sorry to the patients for their wait and don't act like you just have to put up with anything because, well your here to see the "doctor".

I even commented one day that she must have been very studious and smart when she was going to school! She always took the time to go over previous sessions, ask pertinent questions and show me exactly how my exercises should be performed. I was extremely happy with her care, time and energy. If all your doctors are like Megan, then you have a great business. Also, the front desk personnel were always friendly, especially Lisa. I dealt with her on the phone, in person and via emails.

Please allow me to share a brief summary of my story. I fell from a ladder, sustaining a compound tib/fib ankle fracture, where my tibia literally planted in the dirt (an important fact to remember). Dr. Nemitz installed an XFix to prepare my bones for plating. A day later, I was discharged from Lee Memorial and sent home with no antibiotics. Over the next 2+ weeks, I called his office nearly every day and he even saw me in the office a few times to address my concerns regarding possible infection and constant fevers. The responses summarized: "it's normal", even though the wound was very red and oozing puss. Dr. Nemitz finally agreed the wound looked "angry", and agreed to perform a debridement surgery. During pre-OP, he again made his skepticism known by stating, "I don't care if the Infectious Disease team laughs at me when the cultures come back negative". The cultures came back double positive for soil-based bacteria. While being treated for infection, Dr. Nemitz installed the plates. After months of expected healing, he determined I was a non-union (bone never started to heal). I believe he finally realized his error and he quickly rushed me to Dr. Leach. After speaking to him, I decided to get a more experienced 2nd opinion outside the Ortho Specialists practice. Through research, I found Dr. Sanders at Florida Orthopedic Institute (FOI). During my 1st surgery at Tampa General Hospital (TGH), Dr. Sanders found leaves, grass, and soil still embedded in my tissue near the tibia. The cultures at TGH also found a 3rd bacteria which likely wasn't found because Dr. Nemitz didn't take deep enough samples, as he didn't believe I had an infection. The infection degraded over 2 inches of my tibia, and took 6 more surgeries, and a bone graft, to correct the mistakes made by Dr. Nemitz and Lee Memorial. 10 months later, I was finally able to start walking again. While I still have months of rehab and healing to go, I am grateful to Dr. Sanders and the Tampa General team. I'll leave you with the words of Dr. Sanders, when he first met me. After only a few seconds of examining my Xrays, he asked: "who did this to you?". Had I not gone for the 2nd opinion, I likely would have lost my lower leg, to infection.
