Dr. Geoffrey E Baum, MD

Thanks to the total hip replacement her performed almost three years ago, I'm pretty much disabled. He never explained t...he risks of this approach (posterial) and in fact, told me two days after the surgery that it was successful. I don't consider nerve damage a success. Thanks to him, I can't drive my car, I have to wear a AFO device so I don't trip and where as I used to walk a mile in 15 minutes, it now takes me about 15 minutes to walk one block with a lurch. My advice as a former patient, go to someone else more details

I went in for a total hip replacement and came out disabled due to this doctor. All the risks were never fully explained... to me (he merely chooses the ones he wishes to inform you about). He overstretched my sciatic nerve which resulted in foot drop. I cannot walk any distance without pain, I can no longer drive my car, I have to be very careful so I don't trip and fall, I was on mega doses of blood thinners (16 per week) for over twenty four weeks after developing a blood clot (there was no preventative measures he informed me about other than to take one pill of blood thinner every day). All in all, this has been the worst experience of my life more details
