Ankle fusion-complete recovery would take 3 months, pain meds would be needed "for a few days." Instead, 15 months, 3 surgeries, months in wound care treatment, in and out of a wheelchair, off and on crutches. Administered my own IV antibiotics over many weeks, wore a wound vac for 2 6-week periods - all due to Berson's failure to diagnosis infection, rather than slow healing. He threatened to stop treating me when the infectious disease specialist disagreed with him; no other surgeon would have taken me on at that point. He repeatedly undercut the acumen of MIddlesex Wound Care and Infectious DIsease personnel, describing them as "hysterics" who frighten his patients with dire predictions. These women saved my foot through their vigilance. He could not remember my name from one appt. to the next, telling me that I should "put a bandaid" over the gaping incision and "walk around on it." His PA applied twice-dropped gauze to my incision before applying an appallingly tight cast that damaged the soft tissue and allowed infection in. My complaints of ever-rising pain levels were met with multiple opoiod Rxs, rather than an inspection of the site. Office is dirty and poorly run. Practice manager did not have the decency to meet my request for a family meeting - an option advised by the president of Middlesex Hospital. Amputation will always be a threat if further foot infection occurs. read more

Making the initial appointment and check-in was cumbersome. It was clear the person I was speaking…read moreto on the phone was not listening nor was the person who checked me in. When I made the appointment I specified it was my right elbow that needed care. The person I was speaking with on the phone said "left arm?" I again specified right elbow. When I arrived the person at reception again said "left arm." I corrected her and said right elbow again. Then the person that brought me in said "left wrist?!" (I don't blame her... she was reading the notes) Clearly the person who took my appointment via phone and the person I spoke to when I checked in (possibly the same oerson?) did not listen to me when I answered her question about what needed attention. Why bother asking if they're not going to listen to the answer? Thank goodness the doctor and X-ray tech seemed competent. Even after that craziness I still recommend the practice so far.

Came in right at 730 opening so I could be in an out without a wait. There was NO ONE else in the…read morebuilding yet I wasn't seen for over 30 minutes. I was told that the Orthopedic urgent care did not open till 8. Highly disappointed that I waited around for 30 minutes. On a positive note, Dr. Chris aw me right away and was easily able to help me

I saw this doctor the first time I thought I finally found a great doctor. Then went for testing…read moreand had a follow up appointment booked for me at a different office, the last one was 10 min from house, the new one in Middletown was 25 min away. I get their 9 minutes late and the front desk tells me that Dr. Kuhn has a strict 7 min window he follows that if you are not there within, you will need to rebook your appointment for another time...uh, no I will need to find a new doctor. I am just glad I was able to see how the practice operates before I had any major surgeries. Be forewarned, if you are going to be more than 7 minutes late, don't bother even going, if you get stuck in traffic, doesn't matter, after 7 minutes doctor will not see you! The staff what great to deal with, they cannot say anything about it but they totally get it.

I had three separate surgeries on my hands from these great people. Dr O Donnell was great quick…read morerecovery and I feel better than ever!! Will definitely return
