Carly Tepfenhardt, PA

She was generally polite but could only give me general advice about my surgery & recovery - she did not have the experience or maturity 2 advise me on my concerns - 2 begin with she removed only the top layer of my wound covering & had me remove the covering over my stitches - my thought @ the time was that IF anything was pulled out with the tape it would be my fault , not hers - she said it was because I knew how hard 2 pull so it wouldn't hurt - she never examined my knee or assessed my range of motion but said it looked like I was walking OK - I used a cane instead of a walker 2 avoid any problems with other patients in the waiting room & felt safe enough doing so 4 short distances as there was enough assistance if it was needed & my friend could go out 2 the car 2 retrieve it if needed - I asked her when I could stop the anticoagulants Rx & she said that I should NOT be on it any more , only the 1st week although the Rx bottle had 30 pills in it & said " take 1 pill by mouth every day " - she could not order me any pain Rxs & referred me 2 my Primary Dr. -She could not extend my in home PT althoughI am elderly & live alone with no family in state - she said I could drive when I feel " safe 2 do So " even though it is my right knee which was operated on & I couldn't lift it more than a few inches off the floor - I should " first drive it a short distance 2 see how it goes " - didn't ask me 2 show her how high I was able 2 lift my foot - passed off my excessively dry mouth any Raw tongue as a " bad spell of mySjorgrens'Syndrome " although I had NEVER experienced anything THAT bad that would last over a week - when we were through the Post op assessment she left the room in a state of agitation because I said that I would like 2 make an appointment with the Dr. UponHis return & she also conveyed her agitation with the scheduler who seemed less friendlyWhen I made my appointment - in short , I feel that she held a position which exceeded her abilities & maturity ! - I had a VERY GOOD Experience with the Xray tech & the receptionist ( until the chat she had with her , then it was a bit cool ) - I certainly would Recommend the Dr. Who performed my surgery as I think he did an EXCELLENT JOBConsidering all of the complications he had 2 deal with -

Staff was friendly and professional with my care, will definitely recommend your practice.

Carly is the ultimate professional after reviewing the X-rays of my hand/wrist and shoulder. Carly administered in feeding with greatly relieved the pain.

Very short post-op visit. 1. (1 person.)

Excellent practice office & staff very kind to talk to and work with.
