Patient Interaction

Wait Time

I saw Dr. Goldstein for a total knee replacement that became infected intra-op. He sent me home despite the fact my wound was gushing fluid. He refused to see me afterwards as the infection grew worse because my insurance had changed. Orthopods in my home town refused to see me because they felt ethics demanded he stand by his own surgery. When I tried to politely discuss the matter with him he hung up on me. When I posted a negative review at his workplace site, Saint Andrews Sports Medicine Clinic at Saint Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham Alabama the owner posted a reply stating s/he was sorry I “felt” I had a negative experience there. I feel pain every day and they have minimized my suffering. By the time nickle sized spots all over my leg were streaming pus I was nearly dead. It took four surgeries plus an amputation to save my life, and I spent six months in the local hospital. He ruined my life. I was in the top ten% of my profession and can no longer find a job because I am confined to a wheelchair, cannot stand and am unable to get my wheelchair in and out of the car without help. I have no family and virtually no help. It’s too late for me but please save yourselves.
