I could see the results of my bone scan in Pt portal yet he never told me I actually had an active infection in my 8 month post op TKA knee from another doctor who did my Left TKA. I went to my appointment wanting answers or to at least get on this doctors surgery schedule so I can move forward and get out of extreme pain. I was never offered to be put on any oral or IV antibiotics for possible MRSA that has probably set into my new knee. I just feel frustrated and like I'm making no further headway with this doctor. Not sure why there is such a disconnect in moving forward in a timely manner to fix my knee or pain in my shin.

Dr. Garvin does not listen or communicate well. I make seek another opinion. My issues were not addressed. His intern with him was very kind and listened to my concerns, but don't know if he conveyed my issues.
