The physician was excellent explaining how long the treatment would take and the increments that the leg brace will be decreased before I will not need it.

The previous 2 appointments had very long wait times due to Dr. Badarudeen running behind. I waited in excess of 2 hours and though he wants to see me at the 6 month post surgical mark, I likely will not schedule because of these very long wait times

The staff were wonderful, the provider has absolutely no bedside manner, he was rude. He specifically wanted to refer me to physical therapy and pain/spin Dr. when I told him the last time I had a hip injection it helped me and lasted me for 10 years, he said they don't last that long and I don't like to give them. I told him I do stretches and exercises at home and have for over 10 years. He did the injection and when walking out of the room said you don't need to follow up. He definitely needs someone to come and show him how to treat patients. I know you have Dr.s who help other Dr.s with this.

Wellstar Paulding Medical Center Offers New Smart Robotic Orthopedic Surgery
The system uses advanced imaging and data analytics, partnered with the surgeon’s expertise, to tailor care for each patient. Using a 3D model based on a CT scan of the patient’s anatomy, surgeons can plan the implant size, placement and alignment accurately before entering the operating room. During the procedure, the robotic system uses real-time feedback to guide the surgeon’s hand and touch-sensitive boundaries to protect surrounding tissues and bones.
“This robotic technology allows our surgeons to make smaller incisions, improve the implant’s placement and operate more precisely—which all mean a smoother recovery for patients,” said Todd Kennedy, president of Wellstar Paulding.
The orthopedic surgery team at Wellstar Paulding uses the system in total hip replacements and total and partial knee replacements.
Wellstar Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Sameer Badarudeen, who has a decade of experience in robotic hip and knee replacements, was the first to use the technology at Wellstar Paulding. He said the system allows surgeons to better personalize care for each patient.
“As surgeons, we now have a much deeper understanding of optimal artificial knee placement, moving beyond the older ‘boilerplate knee’ approach that resulted in identical-looking X-rays for all patients,” Dr. Badarudeen said. “It empowers surgeons to thoroughly assess each patient's unique anatomy and then meticulously recreate the artificial knee replacement to be perfectly tailored to that individual's specific anatomy.”
Denise Fortune, whose knee was replaced using the technology, was able to go home the same day as her surgery. She had minimal pain after the procedure and now has increased mobility after several years of knee pain.
Dr. Badarudeen ensured Denise received personalized care and had the support she needed for a smooth recovery.
“I'm feeling great. I'm still going to physical therapy, and they tell me I'm ahead of where I normally would be,” Denise said.
