Dr. Edward W Rhomberg, MD

The other comments about his personality were right. ** BUT I went in of a simple (his words) nerver release in wrist and nerve transposition in my elbow. i camout with no feeling in my little finger and ring finger. His first remark when I went back for my follow-up and told him i didn't have feeling in my finger was "I didn't cut the nerve". I thought this was wierd becuase I hadn't said anything about it being cut. I then had another never stidy done and they found another block in wrist l. So he did surgery again on wrist according to him "in hope that it would bring my feeling back". After this surgery there was no change and I had my follow up to take the dressing off. There was string looking piece sticking out of my skin and when you touch it, it felt like my hand was on fire. He said he thought it was a stitch from inside but the said he didn't remember but any in. ???? it was only days latter how can you not remember? I then filed a complaint about it and the Head Orth Surgeon called me and I explained what was going on. He told me to go back in that day to see Rhomberg again which seemed odd . Why you you send me back to same doctor I had a problem with. So I did as a Soldier should. The "stich" was still sticking out and when anything touched it my had excruciating pain. Rhomberg looked at it and said he was not sure what it was. It might be a stich when I mention that he said he didn't do stiches inside he stated "I didn't think I did". Rhomberg took a pair of suture scissors and just cut it off. soon as he cut it it felt like my hand had exploded. This was the worst pain I have felt in my life. I have also had several suture cut that were coming through a wound and they didn't hurt. I am absolutely positive it was a nerve that was cut. But if you get rid of the evidence it never happend RIGHT? He may do some great surgery but I would never let him touch me again. Please do research I am not the only one he has injured during surgery.

He worked on 3 of the 4 tendons in my left arm shoulder. 9 month after surgery and 4 months of PT, The arm was well worse than before.. I indicated this to him after several follow ups and he said, Quote" It's the best it's going to get" and " At least you have another arm." . He refused to see me after that.. I went to get a second opinion from a "real doctor" in Little Rock.. He took my case and did another surgery.. He said the 4th tendon was on by a thread, which this guy never touched and said was "good". The amount of scar tissue that was cut out was never seen before.. my arm is now a ton better.. Please PLEASE, do your research on this guy and don't just take my word for it..
