Dr Brandt performed a total hip replacement on me in 2007. After the procedure when major pain issues occurred, he was completely unwilling to acknowledge my condition and sent all my inquiries and requests for help to his assistant. Who is not an MD.
After repeated visits and calls to help alleviate my severe pain, his only evaluation was for me to undergo physical therapy. Note - he did not order any additional X-rays or MRIs, but simply remained adamant that therapy was the proper solution.
I followed his advice with no success. After 3 months of intense pain, I traveled to New York City and visited HSS where they immediately gave me an MRI and found that Dr. Brandt had severed my abductor muscle completely. When I confronted him he denied the cutting, yet in his report he mentions an attempted repair. This is clearly not someone who tells the truth.
Then we discovered another issue after additional X-Rays - the prosthetic hip was implanted improperly, which caused it to be loose creating the intense pain.
I would caution anyone from seeking surgical care from this doctor. Not only are his skills sub par, but his arrogance and inattentive behavior are unacceptable.
