I had hip replacement surgery by Dr. Brian Schwartz that left me with one leg longer than the…read moreother. At my post-op 6 week check-up, it was obvious the leg discrepancy was still there. I was told that sometimes it takes longer than 6 weeks. After several months I kept getting the same reply. After my last visit with him, 6 months later, the leg discrepancy was still there. As Dr. Schwartz walked out of the room he said, "your back is a mess.". I am now being treated by a pain specialist and have to have a spinal ablation approximately every 4-5 month. It would have helped if Dr Schwartz told me that before doing the surgery because of my back problems this could happen There wasn't any warning at all. I have lost confidence in him and will never go to him again.

I called at 8:10 this morning and was able to get for a 2:00 app. with Dr. Vora (he had a cancellation). Got there and they had me in the exam room within 5 mins. Saw how they worked the place and it was like a well-oiled machine. IN AND OUT. Found out I didn't have a sprain, but a torn Achilles tendon.
