Explains everything! ! Staff is very accommodating to patients as well. Even though he’s out of network now with my insurance i keep coming back to him for my orthopedic problems!!!
Dr Pecker repaired my arm after a nasty break and dislocation. He and his staff went out of their way to arrange therapy. He had also repaired my torn meniscus and did carpal tunnel surgery. He has also treated my wife’s bad knee. A switch in insurance took him out of our network, but a recent change has him back in our network. My wife is thrilled that she can continue treatment with Dr. Pecker. All of the nurses I dealt with while having surgeries with Dr. Pecker spoke very highly of him and I agree totally.
Please do not have Dr. Pecker perform ACL reconstruction surgery on you because the one he performed on me was awful. Now I can only feel the muscle on one side of where he cut my right quad. I wish I had a picture of my post-op because it look like it came from a horror movie. My repaired knee is definitely inferior to my other knee as a result of his surgery. I always feel pain whenever I jog or run and barbell squatting just 90 lbs is painful. I regret receiving his surgery. I hope someone reads this and not hire him. His... read more
I have been going to dr pecker for over 15 years. I have had problems with my knees, shoulder and i recently had to have surgery on my hand. I wouldn't consider going to anyone else. Always makes feel like he is genuinely concerned about my pain and respects how I am feeling. I had to have a cervical laminectomy that he had diagnosed on a office visit. He called the neurosugoen during my visit, I had surgery 2 days later. That's when I knew he was my new orthopedic surgeon and I have been going to him ever since.
Both my daughter and I have seen Dr. Pecker for sports related injuries and he, in my opinion is top notch. He is thoughtful, thorough, and takes the time to explain the issue and answer questions. In addition, he was absolutely wonderful with my daughter. He was very kind and patient and explained everything too her so she was comfortable. I highly recommend.
Unfortunately Dr. Pecker's diagnostic skills are very poor. I know many people who have gone to him and have received an incorrect diagnosis. He told me I had arthritis at age 27 and the next orthopedist could not believe another orthopedist would actually make that crazy of a statement because I have absolutely NO arthritis. He also misdiagnosed my mother's condition and was so rude to her when she said she wanted to seek alternative care like chiropractic or acupuncture. Very bad.
Business response:
Arthritis at 27 can occur if there has been significant trauma such as ACL rupture or fracture through the joint. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis usually subsides by your age. I have nothing against Chiropractic and Acupuncture care and many of my patients are themselves Chiropractors from our local community. I respect them and do not discourage my patients from seeking their treatment. If you have a conflicting consult I would be happy to review your case and the doctors notes, no charge.
An outstanding doctor and surgeon with a wonderful support staff. I am the older father of two severely disabled sons, one of whom I have to carry, as he is extremely weak and ventilator dependent. The other is severely autistic, and I have to be able to catch him when he runs away. He did a superb job repairing my right rotator cuff in 2015 and left knee miniscus in 2017, in both cases with minimal pain. Dr. Pecker explained both procedures very clearly. I give him my highest recommendation.
Wonderful doctor! Patient, caring and very knowledgeable. Doesn't rush into surgery. Tries conservative approach first. I highly recommend him
This doctor is rude and very nasty. I left in tears because he wasn't helpful at all.
Business response:
Please be more specific. I love and respect my patients and am acutely aware of the trust they place in me. I understand that going to the doctor is a stressful event under the best of circumstances and is expensive as well. If you had a bad experience, for any reason, please call my office so that we can try to help.
