I would never see him again. My left knee failed after he messed up my right knee replacement, and he told me it was all in my head. Maybe he should have just sent me somewhere else. Instead he almost crippled me. Thank God I found Dr. Stamer again.
Many years ago, Dr. Tigges was the go-to, mid-Hudson surgeon for knee replacements. Now there are others equally proficient. If you're lucky, with no postop difficulties, you'll be very happy with the result; but otherwise, you'll be on your own. He is very busy, and surgeons aren't well compensated for postop care. His office doesn't respond to requests for postop appointments, beyond a month after surgery, even for a serious difficulty, as confirmed by other recent patients and by PT's.
Arrogant man, get em in get em out attitude. If you expect him to answer a call himself forget it. The only person that answers his calls and returns your call is his surgical coordinator who is not even a nurse. I had read that in a previous review but figured it would be amazing OK as I'm a nurse and I could probably handle my postop OK. But I had some problems and not once did I hear back from him. I Needed my second hip done and found a different surgeon and what a better experience!!!
Dr. Tigges presents in an arrogant manner and does not put one at ease. He neither invites patient questions or responds appropriately to them.
Bring a sweater. Offices are cold, wait time long 45-90 minutes
Great
