Rothman Orthopaedics

Dr. Sullivan saw my daughter over several months for a sprained ankle. After continued pain and swelling he ordered an MRI. He showed us the MRI images, saying additional pain was due to the shape of her foot and ordered orthotics($450). She continued to see him as she still had pain and swelling. At a visit 3 months after the MRI, he finally read the radiologist's report which indicated ruptures of 2 ligaments which would require reconstructive surgery. I was shocked he never actually read the report summary. Rupture was literally the first word. Due to his 3 month delay in reading the MRI report, she spent 3 months of unnecessary pain & discomfort & had the surgery at the beginning of summer instead of early February. She was unable to go to the months long summer camp that she had spent the entire year looking forward to and spent her entire summer recovering from surgery. Rothman said his care was within their standards, so only go to him if you can read & interpret your own tests.
