Melbourne Hand Center - The swelling and pain

Dr Frye sadly ruined the use of my hand and my career as a vet nurse…read more After his botched my surgery, I have had to have 2 further surgeries for correction from his shoddy work. I went to Jewett Orthopedics in Orlando for repair of his work. I would go anywhere but to Doctor Frye. Brief History: I saw Dr Frye for cortisone shots in a failing pip joint, he recommended finger pip surgery as shots were not working. I informed him I would like to have joint replacement but he insisted it was not possible, which many doctors since then have said that it was totally possible. This was his first lie. Next, was the condition of my finger post surgery as it came out leaning to one side badly plus it was excruciatingly painful. In addition, I found out that he also injured a tendon in his surgery and never told me. It had to be repaired as well in a further surgery, and when I complained to him, his words were "Well I thought I got it straight". He sent me to hand therapy and the therapist commented on the poor surgery result. As a result they tried to splint it straight, 3 times. That didn't work, it was painful to try and they even splint to go leaning it the opposite way! And he did not stop there as he then told me I had to pay for it to be corrected from his shoddy handy work and even offreed to cut my finger off! That is when I decided to go elsewhere for a second opinion. I'm so glad I did! To correct his shoddy I had to have a pin inserted the length of my finger, down the bone in my finger for over 6 months to repair the tendon. Also, the fused joint had to be re-broken and a long plate was inserted. Then another surgery to remove the plate. To this day, it is still painful and hard to even use. (2 years on). I cannot use my finger for work or life in general. I cannot grasp my hand. I cannot use it without residual ache for hours, and a burning sensation, and I was only 59 when he did it. In conclusion, sadly all I can say is he didn't care. He turned on his heels, as after I begged for help, he just said well we can "cut it off" and then he walked out of the consult room. I'll bet this would be different if it was his botched finger surgery! My career and life was assisting in surgery with the animals. Now I can't even fill a syringe. Lastly, once you remove a joint you cannot ever replace it. Be very careful to ever remove a joint as it's irreversible, so I suggest you consider a replacement joint instead. Please research people! This surgeon may be kind to other people but he destroyed my daily life, cooking, cleaning, writing, carrying.,but most of all, I can never work again properly.

I had 2 surgeries by Dr. Moyles. The fist was on my right thumb and it went well. The second…read moresurgery was on my right middle finger to relieve a "trigger finger". It actually made things worse. Much worse. Dr. Moyles is a nice enough man, but his surgical abilities are so-so. Now my left thumb hurts, I'll live with the pain since he's the only true hand specialist in town.

Dr Dominguez insisted on an unnecessary surgery Do NOT trust him! MRI report showed a partial…read moremeniscus root tear, including specific measurements of it. David Dominguez insisted that "they were wrong" and that it was a total tear that required surgery. Despite my knee feeling much better weeks after the MRI, he insisted that it was the "calm before the storm" and that I would experience bone on bone arthritis in 1-5 years. He said the knee will not heal without surgery sooner or later. Against my intuition, I proceeded with the surgery, based on his assertions. The exploratory procedure revealed exactly what the MRI report described. I had a partial meniscus root tear. He closed my knee up with no repairs whatsoever. His post op appointment revealed that my ligaments were intact, I only had a partial meniscus tear that "would heal on its own" and the area under my kneecap looked like that of a 20 year old. All of these statement in this review were made in the presence of his office staff. For this unnecessary and negligent procedure, his office and the surgery center will ultimately max out my $5,000 health insurance deductible, all out of my pocket. I will not take this without a fight. I have formally given him 14 days to refund my $700 deposit on the surgery and will be filing a medical malpractice claim next week unless I am absolved from all financial responsibility for this unnecessary procedure, caused only by Dominguez's improper interpretation of an MRI

If I had the ability to give zero stars, I would. I had an appt this morning at 10:00am with…read moreDominguez, David E, to which I arrived 9:55am. At about 10:10am, I asked the receptionist what time am I going to be seen. She responded "Its 10:10am and your appt is at 10:00am". 3minutes later I then advised her that I have another engagement and would like to know what time I will be seen and the duration of the appt. All while remaining professional. She said she will find out. A couple minutes later an assistant came out offering not only disregard for the importance of my time, bt also no apology or empathy based on the delay. The time was now 10:16am and she told me if I cannot wait I should leave or set another appt. Of course I had to react accordingly to this "excellent customer service". At which point she told me to get the f&$k outta there and went to the provider. Their blatant disregard went further as I could clearly hear the discussion(still saying "F&$k outta here..." while taking to her boss or the provider I presume) in the backroom and possibly so could other clients. The provider, which I assume is her boss came out at about 10:20am, also with no apology and seeking no clarification as to the events that transpired. Just to say I was disrespectful and I should leave. I responded appropriately and left.
