Live with it or go through an invasive costly surgical procedure. Also plan upon months of therapy and recovery. Having been the victim of a botched surgical procedure in my youth, I'm really thorough about checking into who my surgeon is going to be and the facility in which the surgery is going to take place. After checking out everything I made an appointment with Dr.Ross Wodicka and couldn't have been more delighted. He's not only a great doctor but real good down to earth guy who carefully explains all your options and matters involving the procedure. Matter of fact, because of my age being 74, he wasn't cut happy and really wanted me to know what I was going to be put through in order to recover and whether I thought it would be worth it. Well, because I was unable to lift my martini glass to my lips (that's practically the definition of very serious), of course it was worth it. I might also add that Dr. Wodicka is a sports doctor specialist with a fellowship in a well-recognized sports orthopedic institute. So if one can trust the multimillion dollar shoulders and knees of professional athletes to him, I think I can trust mine to him too. Anyway my surgery went just fine. Matter of fact incredibly fine. I don't even have a surgical scar, never needed any pain meds and now near 8 months later 90% recovered and doing exceptionally well.

I want to start by saying that I have no complaints whatsoever about the doctor or the nurse…read morepractitioner. Both have been professional, caring, and attentive throughout my treatment. Unfortunately, my experience with the staff member responsible for obtaining insurance authorizations has been very disappointing. An MRI was ordered, but the authorization request was not submitted for five days. As a result of this delay, the approval was not completed in time, and I was forced to cancel my MRI appointment scheduled for tomorrow. When patients are dealing with pain and waiting for diagnostic testing, delays like this can significantly impact their care and create unnecessary stress and frustration. I hope the office reviews this process so that future patients do not experience similar delays. Again, I appreciate the medical care provided by the doctor and nurse practitioner. My concern is solely with the handling of the authorization process.

I had no choice but to have surgery. Dr. Gilbert and his entire staff are the greatest I have ever had. On my initial consult, Dr. Gilbert entered the exam room so bubbly that it put me right at ease. He explained the procedure in depth, and we discussed alternate pain management away from opioids (40 years clean). My surgery was on a Friday. I arrived at 6am (surgical center in same office building) and was on my way home by 11. I was awake during the procedure, so they numbed my hand, and gave me Ketamine (Special K). I felt no pain and Dr. Gilbert described the operation as he went along. The recovery staff were caring and very attentive to their patients. I felt very at ease. Here is where Dr. Gilbert differs from the physicians I have seen. The surgery was on a Friday, and to my complete surprise, Dr. Gilbert called me from his personal phone on Saturday to see how I was faring. To me this is unheard of. On my follow-up visit, they removed the bandage and I could see the incision was in line with the crease in my hand. Having been fully healed, you cannot see the scar. (see photo). I began physical therapy with Alex. He is very knowledgeable and took a video on my phone of me to demonstrate exercises I needed to do to maintain flexibility. The subsequent visits, the therapy exorcises were thorough and pain free. I took a 15 day cruise just 6 weeks after surgery with no complications. After I completed my therapy and was released, I wrote a thank you note, only to have Dr Gilbert reply with a thank you for my thank you. The staff from check-in to check-out are friendly and attentive to your needs. (They love doughnuts, so bring a dozen for them). All in All this was by far the best experience I have ever had with any physician in my life. If you are in need of Dr. Gilberts services, I could not recommend him more. Thank you Dr Gilbert.

Primary Injury Code:S61.451A - Open bite of right hand, initial encounter OR S61.452A - Open bite of left hand, initial encounter (If there is documented nerve damage, codes like S64.31XA or S64.32XA for digital nerve injury of the thumb are also added).External Cause Code (Tells Medicare how it happened):W54.0XXA - Bitten by dog, initial encounter Place of Occurrence Code (Crucial to rule out Workers' Comp):Y92.019 - Unspecified place in single-family private house as the place of occurrence of the external cause.Why this matters: Including this code explicitly tells Medicare's automated billing system that the injury occurred at a private residence, proving it was not a workplace or commercial incident.2. Service/Procedure Codes (CPT)For your initial evaluation with the orthopedic specialist, they would bill an outpatient Evaluation & Management (E/M) code based on the complexity of the visit: 99203 or 99204 - Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient. (Given the potential nerve damage and cyanosis/circulation issues, this represents a moderate-complexity visit, typically coded as 99204).

We had a serious issue with pill mills in the past, and I would like to think those days are over…read more After one visit to this place, I'm not so sure. To begin with, I arrived early for my visit so I could fill out their ridiculous amount of paperwork. On it were the obligatory questions about the pain I was in, but no one seemed concerned with what I put down, as they kept referring to other things that were not bothering me. Also, when I made the appointment, I specifically asked for Dr. Amin, but I never saw him. I filled out the paperwork and sat in the annoying waiting room where the television is entirely too loud and on a continuous loop of ads. Nothing else. I wished there was a remote out there so I could turn it off, but that would show true concern for the patients and you won't find that here. I finally was brought in to the madness of the back, and Michael, the nurse (I'm not sure if he's actually a nurse but I don't think he's a physician's assistant and I know he's not a doctor) could not have been nicer. If this review was about him, it would be five stars. He was the only one I met who actually listened to me. Next came the PA. This could either stand for Physician's Assistant or Pain in the Ass, you can decide for yourself. She was a nightmare. She apologized for the amount of time I had to wait, but she had to go outside because her car was hit. Which is saying to the patient that her car is more important. That gives you an idea of the caliber of the practice. Finally the doctor came in. He stood across the room and recited to me what his PA had written down, incorrectly, which completely threw him off because he had already decided on the the diagnosis and course of treatment (all with drugs) before he walked in the room. He never examined me, he stood with his back against the door and never entered any further into the room. I now know how lepers must feel. He prescribed several medications for me, which is why I started feeling like I was in a pill mill. Then he told me he would call in another prescription, and that pharmacy would call me to make arrangements. I was also to have an MRI. Finally, something that made sense. His office would arrange that and the MRI office would call me to schedule. I also had to give them a urine sample, but for the life of me, I don't know why. I gave it to them. I have yet to hear anything more about it. I was shown to the front desk where the receptionist immediately tried to book my next appointment. I informed her that I couldn't very well do that since I hadn't had the MRI yet, which completely threw her off. I patiently explained to her (maybe not so patiently) that I had to have an MRI and that her office was going to call the MRI place and let them know what the were scanning, and once that was done, then I would call and make the next appointment. I'm guessing she gets paid on how many appointments she makes because she was not happy. Several weeks later I received a letter in the mail from some company that claimed they had been trying to call me (even though I never got a phone call from them) to finalize the medication. I checked and it's a medication that is NOT covered by my insurance, and I can only guess that Dr. Macek gets a kickback from the drug company, because I cannot come up with another reason why he would prescribe this for me, particularly since he still had not examined me. Oh, and the MRI? Well, it's been over a month and I still have not heard from anyone about that. As I said, this made me think I was in a pill mill and nothing has happened since change my opinion. In reading the reviews on here, it seems that most patients are very happy with Dr. Amin. I cannot understand why I was not put on his schedule when I specifically asked for him, but I was not. Sadly, I'm not willing to give this place another chance.

I was constantly uncomfortable, battling a deep ache, stiffness, a persistent headache above my eye, and even vision blurriness. Nothing truly helped--until I found this office based on a review I read. It changed my life. From my very first appointment with Dr. Kemmerlin, I experienced an 80% improvement in my symptoms. That constant headache and blurriness I lived with for years were gone. Dr. Kemmerlin took the time to listen, investigate, and accurately identify the underlying cause of my pain--something no one else had done. What makes this team exceptional is not just their skill, but their compassion and precision. Dr. Hansen, who assisted during some of my procedures, was also incredibly thorough, kind, and experienced. I felt truly safe and cared for in their hands. They gave me answers without jumping to surgery--an option that would've been risky and with no guarantee of relief. Instead, they helped me heal in a thoughtful, non-invasive way. I'm beyond grateful to both of them. Dr. Kemmerlin and Dr. Hansen are lifesavers. I cannot recommend them enough.
