Best Sports Medicine Physician Lowell Near Me

Gary Morris: I went in for a cortisone due to siatic pain. When getting the injection l experienced unbelievable pain down my siatic nerve I can only explain a an intense electrical shock. I screamed "stop,stop,stop, my leg, my leg, my leg". I heard Dr. Bhat say" the needle is out" I was told to stand up and was assisted off the table where the procedure was taking place. I was stood up and was holding on the table as l felt like l was going to pass out and Dr. Bhat told me "pull up your pants". I said I was going to pass out. A wheel chair was provided and l was wheeled out of the procedure room to another exam room. I was told by the 2 attending nurses or staff personnel (not sure as l was still very lightheaded) "don't close your eyes, stay with us". I was asked who l came with and responded my mother. I was asked her name and told them. I was given a hooded sweatshirt that l wore to appointments with my keys,wallet, eyeglasses and phone as l was still out of it they landed on the floor as l was still incapacitated to receive them. My mother came and she later remarked how white my complexion was. The attending personnel applied ice packs on my back neck and under my chin. I had no concept of how long I was in this recovery room, my mother estimated 20 minutes. My mother also told me l was talking the entire time about the shock l felt and the staff were remarking how it was no big thing. After the recovery l waited 15 or so minutes to talk to someone and eventually spoke to nurse. I wanted to speak to the doctor and was told l would have to wait until after he was done with injections. I requested that appointment for 2 1/2 hours later. I met with the doctor and was told it was because I had anxiety problems. He gaslighted me on my reaction to the injection telling most people can handle the pain. When researching the procedure l expected to feel pressure, heat or a tingling sensation and if accute pain is experienced let the attendant know to stop. I never received any follow-up call. I notified my primary and was told to let Dr. Phat know, 2 calls, spoke to receptionist and was dropped into voicemail the day after and the day after that. This was a terrible experience, I know he hit the nerve as to the reaction l described earlier in this post. I was been shocked a few times with both common 120 volts and high voltage in my career this was like that and it was from my upper leg to foot in the siatic nerve. The doctors bedside manner is terrible and evasive as he said he didn't hit the nerve and insinuated it was my anxiety. This my only review l have ever submitted. The only reason l submitted this is l hope someone would get a second opinion and not experience what l did. It also appeared to me his business operation is not unlike an assembly line, patients every 10 minutes

Catherine Watts: Dr Prybyla is the doctor you want to see for any hip or knee issues and would be fabulous for a second opinion. I have found in the past that orthopedic surgeons can sometimes be overly confident to the point of being cocky. This is certainly not the case with Dr. Prybyla. He listens to the concerns of his patient, is compassionate, competent, thorough, and will always act in the best interest of his patient. I received an accurate diagnosis from him this past June and because of some extenuating circumstances had my hip replaced at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. I saw Dr Prybyla, however, for my follow up upon returning to Massachusetts. I have total confidence in his knowledge and professionalism. I have recommended him highly to friends. You will not be disappointed with the care and attention you receive from this doctor. He is backed up by a very competent and friendly office staff as well. If you are looking for a good hip and knee orthopedic, start here!Catherine

Gail Young: Was always my orthopedic for years, great Dr , then he became old ànd cranky and not good

Maxwell Shippen: I am a local Physical Therapist with Direct Access Therapy. I have been treating for roughly 7 years in the Merrimack Valley. I have seen a lot of the local surgeons work and the patients recovery. Dr. Sigman's patients always have the fastest recoveries and best results. His patients heal fast and with less pain with his bovine patch compared to other rotator cuff repairs. Beyond his surgical skills, I always hear great things about his bedside manner and that he is very personable. I recommend him without hesitation to all of my current patients who need shoulder surgery. Put it this way, as the person in healthcare who see's the post op recovery and results of a lot of the surgeries, I would go to Dr. Sigman if I needed shoulder surgery.
