Orthopedic Associates — Establishment, health and doctor at 512 Saybrook Road #100, Middletown, Connecticut.

I have never written a review before I am just so upset I had to. I have been to this office before for my knee surgery and loved my doctor but today I met with doctor hicks about my back for years I was a cheerleader and from that my back has been injured quite a bit some background I am 22 and I am a bit overweight but I have seen other doctors and weight is not really a factor in my injury. Today I had a horrible experience I wanted to know my options to kind of alleviate my back pain I have tried many things shots ,medication, and physical therapy it's just getting worse I have 2 bad discs in my back. I went into talk to doctor hicks and from the second I got in there we barely spoke about my back pain and what was going on or my back history. All he had to say almost the whole appointment was that I was a bigger girl and I should meet with their gastric bypass surgeon saying oh it won't fix the problem but it could help the whole appointment he centered on trying to get me to meet a weight loss surgeon I am 22! I don't need weight loss surgery I don't have health problems that would cause me to need it nor would I ever get it and it won't even fix my back issue! he was pushing me the whole appointment we barely talked about my back! I will never see him again if I want to lose weight I can on my own he was so rude and didn't even care about my back problem I will never recommend anyone to see him also on top of this he compared me to an obese patient he had to do surgery on saying how hard it was to lift her on a table and how they were all exhausted after my fiancé can pick me up so I don't think I'm that bad
