Philip L Prosapio

Philip Prosapio worst docter on planet.. staff very inconsiderate, and refuses to listen to patient. risk of life and limb

I would rate Dr. Prosapio at 4 1/2+ but the option isn't given! Four is really too low. In reading my review you will see why I didn't give him a five--but then there's always room for improvement on some level! I saw Dr. Prosapio as a referral for shoulder pain. I had had three significant falls in the previous two years that all could have affected my shoulder. There was an MRI from the first one to work from, which was from another provider. That provider felt that it was inconclusive. Dr. Prosapio reviewed it and felt that it wasn't even questionable regarding the damage that it revealed. He also felt that the two following incidences had undoubtedly worsened the condition. In feeling that the first MRI revealed enough information to proceed with surgery he believed that an additional MRI was expensive and unnecessary and that if he found additional injury he would already be in a position to repair it. I appreciated that he didn't push for another very expensive MRI. After surgery I had rehab as soon as possible. The therapy staff couldn't believe how quickly I progressed through therapy and were inclined to contribute it to Dr. Prosapio's accuracy in the repair which was a rotator cuff tear plus. (I am past 50 which can frequently slow down recovery.) Because of the original injury being as old as it was, it made it more difficult to repair because the ligament/tendon starts to retract away from it's connection point and has to be retrieved & pulled into position to be reattached to the humurus. I believe Dr. Prosapio did an excellent surgical job and I can do anything that I did prior to the injuries. Maybe even more! I do appreciate that most Drs. have assistants to help alleviate their time loads. Though he was thoughtful and answered any questions that I had, I would like to have had just a little more time directly with him-no offense to his staff, but he is the professional. I lean a little more with "straight from the horses mouth" contact and felt that in hindsight I might have had just a little more accurate information before hand if I had spoken to him instead of a staff member on a couple of occasions. Again, no offense intended to his staff-they definitely have a job to do also. I would rate Dr. Prosapio at 4 1/2+ but the option isn't given! Four is really too low. In reading my review you will see why I didn't give him a five--but then there's always room for improvement on some level! … More

I am 7 weeks post OP from a total knee replacement. I have been in almost constant pain since then. Prosapio doesn't give a crap. His PA, Molly is even worse. She is an unconcerned, condescending person who will tell you to suck it up. Even in the hospital, I had no pain relief. I had to to my family physician to get any treatment and to have my concerns heard. I would never see him again.

I would give Dr Prosapio a negative if I could. My father had a total hip replacement and a few days later his wound started to look infected. 8 weeks later after several calls of concern about an infected and painful leg. He's now in the ER with fever, dementia and severe pain. Where's Dr. P? Dad went into surgery for a hip REPLACEMENT and repair of a broken femur from the original surgery. We STILL have not heard one word from Dr. Prosapio OR his staff. I hope this doesn't happen to YOU!

March 13th of 1993 I was admitted to the St. Gabriels ER with traumatic injuries to my legs (the rest of me was a mess too) resulting from a mid-air collision at Camp Ripley a nearby military facility. My right leg had a tib-fib fracture and a nasty case of compartment syndrome. He advised it was 50/50 I would keep the leg and was very straight forward in helping me deal with a difficult situation. He saved my leg and approx. 2 1/2 years later I returned to flight status. He is extraordinary.
