Dr. John Songer, MD

I had a hip replacement in November 2020. It started popping out and I had a revision in August of 2021. I got a infection in my stitches…and it spread inside my hip It still kept popping out. Dr Songer,Dr Supik and Dr Gates all popped it back in 12 times.It hurt! I called & Dr Songer told his assistant to tell me that I needed to go to a pain clinic. Why didn’t he call me in and talk about why it kept popping out and get me a specialist. He basically threw me to the wolves. I had to be my own advocate and seek out a doctor in Asheville. He was concerned something serious was going on, so he sent me to a specialist in Charlotte North Carolina I could hardly walk and my new surgeon in Charlotte did two aspirations within a month and found out I had a very serious infection that had been in my r hip Surgery took out what was left of my revision. New surgeon put temp spacer in. On intravenous antibiotics for 6 weeks More surgery this past Feb Nightmare

Lackadaisical attitude regarding follow up care.

Dr. Singer always sees me quickly and provides competent and compassionate care. He has treated me in the office as well performing several orthopedic surgeries.

I took my 14 year old son to see Dr. Songer for a shoulder injury. Our wait time was less than what I expected. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Songer came in and told us that my son had a fractured arm. He was very kind and explained everything to my son, which made him feel more involved. At the end Dr. Songer asked if I had any questions, which I did not because he had gone over everything already. Wonderful experience. I would recommend him to everyone.

I WOULD DEFINITLEY RECOMMEND DR. SONGER AND HIS STAFF. HE IS A GREAT DOCTOR. I BROKE MY TIBIA AND FIBULA AND HAD TO HAVE SURGERY HE PUT A PLATE ON THE OUTSIDE AND SCREWS ON THE INSIDE. HE AND HIS STAFF ARE AWESOME. IF I HAD TO HAVE SURGERY AGAIN I WOULD DEFINITELY CHOOSE HIM. HE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING HE DID AND ALWAYS HAS A GREAT BED SIDE MANNER. HE CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS.

I have had six surgeries,Dr.Songer is the only Surgeon that l would want to operate on me.I had my frist surgery in 1998 for hip replacement.Then knee replacement.He had his practice in Boaz then later moved to Cullman.So when l had to have surgery again,l went to Cullman.l will go to Cullman again when it becomes apparent that l need surgery.Dr.Songer has always put my mind at ease,always explained what was to be done. l Pray God will bless him for many years to come.
