I had/have a shoulder issue.
1st visit - Dr. came in and said, "How did that shot work for you?" I said, "What shot? My name is ____ and this is my first time here, I've never met you." I explained my issue, he looked at my MRI and said, "You have a tear?" Tested my ROM and said I had a frozen shoulder (and I did/do). Within a few minutes we were talking surgery.
2nd visit was at the hospital in the surgical area. I arrived at 9:30am the time I was told to arrive. I was told the Dr. was "ahead of schedule" and I was prepped and in surgery in 1/2 hour! Cool, right? After surgery, he met with my wife and was told he didn't fix the tear and gave her pictures he took. Then saw me, I asked about the tear and he told me the same thing. I stayed in 'recovery' for HOURS, why? My Dr. left without giving any scripts for pain management. The hospital couldn't get a hold of him and someone told them to wait until his partner to get out of surgery and have them write me scripts. I finally asked to see my wife so she knows I'm alright! Apparently, she was asking where I was too. I stayed in the hospital 4 hours longer than needed.
3rd visit - In the Dr. office, I saw his assistant and she explained the photos and showed me the tear. She said, these tears are under the rotator cuff and we don't repair these?? IDK???!!!
4th visit - Saw him AND assistant and questioned my ROM, it wasn't coming back much. I have been in P.T. since the 3rd day after surgery and it wasn't much better two months after the surgery. His reply was, you're doing fine and they had a protocol for the shoulder. I asked about the tear, he said, "What tear??" I am so frustrated with Dr. Cummins and the lack of care HE gave. He assistant was wonderful.
Where am I now with my shoulder? I still have a screwed up shoulder. It still is impinged. It still lacks ROM. I honestly question whether he did anything. NOTHING HE DID IMPROVED MY CONDITION. I chose this "specialist" because of the reviews. I should have walked out on the 1st visit and listened to my small voice that said, "RUN!"
