DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY

AI Highlights
  • The surgeon dismissed infection and focused on the scar.
  • He offered plastic surgery for the scar; the brief visit felt like a waste.
Original review updated Aug 05, 2024

I am a physician, a patient, and a patient advocate, and I obviously should have heeded all the one-star reviews.

Without wasting his time on pesky details like the history of present illness, review of symptoms, or physical exam, spine surgeon Dr. Jacob Schwarz walked in and said, 'Your films look fine, but if you are worried about your scar, I can send you to a plastic surgeon.'

Taken aback and thinking he had walked into the wrong room, I said, 'I am not worried about my scar.

I am here because I have an inadequately treated hardware-associated delayed surgical site infection (CoNS and C.acnes) with retained cervical hardware, and a CT last month showed opacification in the left mastoid in a patient with a recent history of inadequately treated hardware-associated cranial osteomyelitis.'

To each of my efforts to clarify, he repeated, with a smirk on his face, 'Well, your scar looks fine, but I can send you to a plastic surgeon if you want. I don't cut scars that look fine.'

This five-minute circular conversation was a total waste of my time, money, and energy, especially since I am from out of state and am too ill to travel except in a bed in an RV.

Ask yourself: What kind of spine surgeon practices in a filthy, dilapidated 1970s shopping mall?

Learn from my mistake.

Preferred solution: I want other patients to be warned of the poor quality of care at Vanderbilt and Dr. Jacob Schwarz.

User's recommendation: AVOID
