Dysarz Francis A MD

After learning I broke the top of my hand/​middle finger I knew it was worth a trip to the surgeon. He suggested for full range of motion to proceed with surgery (who knew a finger surgery would cost 12k)?! Thank goodness for insurance, I met my deductible for the year now, so hopefully I won’t break all the things! Dr. Dysarz doesn’t have the same bedside manner as some doctors, so if you’re über needy and demanding he may not be the doctor for you. I thoroughly enjoyed him and he is a great surgeon. He put pins in my hand/​finger and they were seriously perfect precision and placed where they needed to be, which I am sure was not an easy task. Another not so easy task is dealing with me, especially in pain. I was a total jerk and came in crying in pain (but to my defense their waiting time to get in can be rather insane). I got good care, good recommendations to further my hand/​finger therapy and am 8 weeks from the break and am in zero pain, only took a mild pain killer after surgery for two days and am back to my sassy self. If you ask good questions and genuinely care about your treatment you won’t be disappointed.
Only thing I can say I didn’t love was how dirty the waiting area/​rooms are… get someone in there to paint and clean once a week… :)

I broke my index finger in a car door and was referred to Dr. Dysarz by urgent care. My finger was in pretty bad shape and needed a pin, which required surgery. Dr. Dysarz did an excellent job. He’s very straightforward with explaining everything (even if it’s not what you want to hear). I would recommend Dr. Dysarz to any friends or family.

I was referred to him for a thumb/​wrist injury. I did not feel safe and felt like my treatment was the least of his concerns. He interrupted me when I spoke and blamed me for not being able to manipulate my wrist because I wasn’t relaxing. When he left the office to look at my Xrays (taken somewhere else), a rush of fear and anxiety resulted in tears. I could not control my tears because I felt responsible for my pain and for him not being able to do his job. I wasnt crying because I was hurting. I was crying because I felt like he didnt care and that I was going to leave his office more vulnerable, in more pain, confused and unsure of what my next step would be to fix my wrist. There was no way for him to know why I was crying because he never asked. In hindsight, I should have told him. I got up and cleaned my tears twice and he did not ask once if there was anything he could do. Not once did he ask if I needed a moment. It wasnt a thought for him to slow down. Instead, he sped up. He gave me an EXTREMELY painful cortisone shot and repeated everything he said from that point on 4 times. I left the office in tears. I sat in my car and cried. When I arrived at his other office to get my splint, his medical assistant asked, as she laughed, Youre just now getting here? She didnt take me into a room, but fit my splint standing up behind her desk. I declined to schedule a follow up and she bid me goodbye. Patients need a shame-​free environment & compassion above everything else when they are vulnerable, in pain, possibly confused, upset and may have given their last $ 35 for their copay. I dont remember him smiling once during our visit. I hope to never experience what I felt yesterday again. One can only give what one has, so if he cannot give compassion with his care, I hope he reevaluates because the patient suffers every time.
