The worst and most negligent Dr in practice! I have permanent damage to my hand now.
I came to him with a broken hand. He said it was simple, reset it, pin it and after I would have full function.
On the day of surgery he was over an hour late which made the appointment after 10pm!
He was noticeably tired from working all day at his other job...that should have been my sign to leave but there was no other Dr who could take me and I hoped for the best.
He did NOT reset my finger...he pinned it in the broken position for over 10 weeks! I later found out that this is not how its done.
When I voiced my concerns that I did not feel it was pinned in the correct position and asked for an ex-ray to confirm...he denied me and repeatedly said no, saying that I should be careful for the radiation ex-ray emits.
I tried to seek legal help to sue him for his negligence but was turned down because the state of NV as laws against holding Dr's responsible for negligence UNLESS there is loss of limb or death!
I had several appointments with other dr's to see what I could do and they all said that he should have NEVER kept my finger pinned for longer than 3 weeks and that the kind of break I had only needed to be reset and put in a splint for 4 weeks.
The only good that I can take from this experience was a dear friend of mine who her son broke his hand the same as mine...he somehow found his way to Dr Hanna who set the date for some crazy surgery with pins. Thankfully and luckily his mother remembered what happened to me and asked what Dr I had seen....when I told her she immediately canceled her sons appointments and called a Dr friend who told her that Dr Hanna is NOT EVEN BOARD CERTIFIED!!
He recommended Dr Jedidiah Jones...a WONDERFUL hand dr who I tried to get into but could not. He reset the boys hand and put in a splint for 3 weeks and a short time later he has FULL FUNCTION of his hand.
