Excellent Doctor & Surgeon!
VERY EXCELLENT DOCTOR AND SURGEON!!! I honestly have nothing negative to say about Dr. Sloan. My husband’s hip replacement went extremely well, and he is recovering very nicely right now! We are very grateful for the excellent care he received. ❤️
I normally don’t write reviews, but this time I feel like I have to address something because it has happened more than once.
Even before my husband’s hip replacement surgery, we waited forever for a call back from his Medical Assistant regarding information we were supposed to receive or things Dr. Sloan requested. Unfortunately, we never received a call back, and at the time, we let it go.
After the surgery and his follow-up appointment, my husband was supposed to receive another call from the Medical Assistant with information Dr. Sloan wanted him to have. We called several times over the course of weeks and left multiple messages, but again, we never received a call back.
My husband eventually had to drive directly to the office just to get the information he needed.
So, please, do your job, dear Medical Assistant. Communication and follow-up are very important, especially when it involves a patient recovering from surgery. I am also a Medical Assistant, so I understand how this works and how important it is to follow up with patients.
Again, Dr. Sloan is an excellent doctor and surgeon, and we are extremely happy with my husband’s surgery and recovery. This review is specifically about the lack of communication and follow-up from the Medical Assistant.
Dr. Sloan is a wonderful surgeon, and a really good person. I felt truly blessed to receive care from him. The staff at his office that I had occasion to meet are all really nice too. I was impressed by their professionalism, and by their caring attitude and natural empathy. Thank you!
A-fib interaction with hip replacement
I had a great experience with Dr. Sloane and his team, and my new hip is great: no pain, more range of motion. The only negative aspect of the entire experience was that 4 days after my surgery, my previously diagnosed mild A-fib suddenly became much more active, acting up every evening as opposed to the less than once per week prior to surgery. I consulted with my cardiologist, wore a heart monitor for two weeks, and the A-fib calmed down eventually. My physical therapist told me that there is a strong association of A-fib activity following hip replacement surgery. The PT said people with A-fib should be told about that risk when deciding whether to do hip replacement, and then again when they are scheduled for hip replacement, so they won't be taken by surprise as I was. That makes sense to me.
