NIGHTMARE TKR
do your research HIS EXPERIENCES I didnt. I also didn't get offered any alternatives to TKR I feel stupid for not looking into this. I have no life only pain going on a year. Doesn't like being asked questions, non compassionate my knee replacement is a total nightmare from day 1 surgery IN EXTREME PAIN for 24HRS was hospitalized 4days. Still in Pain 9mths now. Changed surgeons because he was not listening to me about my painDr Worman would always answer with all normal just healing pain NOT TRUE. Found out from second surgeon at 6mths out I had scar tissue I would of never of healed and the Dr Worman didnt even check that and then I would of been dragging my leg if I hadn't had a manipulation from new surgeon.Now 3 months from manipulation doing PT9 whole mths of PT altogether and now, I have alot of pain from my kneecap that I just found out is is not aligned correctly causing it to rub the metal, clunking real bad pain walking driving etc.DO NOT RECOMMEND

Good Time Charlie is not a good doctor
At 1 year postop with reverse shoulder replacement, RW offered no help, no character, no sympathy when I said I was worse off than beforehand. His evil nurse practitioner accused me of drugseeking after the bicep they re-attach at the end of surgery ruptured at 4 months postoperative, saying “I did it to myself on purpose”. He might be ok if there’s no complications but don’t you want a caring considerate doctor when there are complications? I was sent away and told no followup was needed. Would you want your parents or children or loved ones treated like this? Sign me Disgusted

Dr Worman has performed hip replacement surgery for both my right and left hips over a 3 year period. The outcomes have been excellent, his manner is calming and he explains things very well. I highly recommend him to anyone need hip replacement surgery.

I had seen Dr. Worman for a knee injury which was causing tremendous pain. He Had ordered a MRI. Said there wasn't anything wrong other than a Cyst. Had seen another Dr. who initially could tell from examination that I had a Meniscus tear and needed Surgery. The Surgery revealed that I had 2 tears along with Arthritis that was preventing me from moving my knee fully.
