Dr. James Slavin, MD

I worked with Jim decades ago when he studied at Albany Med.He's an intelligent, capable and extremely friendly person. You're in good hands.

Received a nasty animal bite on my finger. Dr. Slavin performed a though debridement and forwarded samples to infectious disease specialist, who treated the joint infection with a spectrum of specialized antibiotics. Dr.Slavin explained everything thoroughly and sent a lot of time ensuring I was treated above and beyond. It's been 10 years since the original injury. Thank you, Dr. Slavin.

My sister was operated on by this doctor and was NOT given compression sleeves on her legs to help prevent blood clots until nearly 48 hours following. She was not advised to stop taking birth control pill Yaz and it is known to increase chances of blood clots. She was not given proper guidance on how to move to keep blood flowing; in fact she was advised not to move much and was told if she did she could break bones and Never recover. She was given an ill fitting, tight antiquated leg cast.She returned for follow up visits, complaining of pain and discomfort and was rudely dismissed. At no point during these visits did this doctor conduct an ultrasound. This type of dismissive behavior continued up until her last visit a few days before she took a cross-country flight during which she inquired if it was safe; she was tersely told there was nothing to worry about.She went on her trip a day later and died when she landed to transfer flights from a pulmonary embolism from a Blood clot

Because xray did not show bone issue in my child's hip, so he arrogantly told her how his sons "tough it out". Physical Therapist later dx very weak hip muscles causing pain.
