Demayo Frank MD

My right knead was hurting really bad and was locking up. It becomes more aggravated when I drive. My knee has been bothering me for well over a year but not this bad. So I decide to see a orthopedist. I findDr DeMayo on line and try to make an appointment. First the girl answering the phone is rude, I would not want her to answer my phones! Then she says she can set an appointment and begins to drill me about my insurance. She wants to make sure I don’t have Obama Care! Then she asked for my social. Now who in there right mind is going to give that out over the phone! I gave her my insurance info. p well after all that she gives me an appointment 6 weeks out. Really! So I went to my primary the next dayDr, Sachdeva here in Tracy and she writes me script for ibuprofen. 2 weeks later it still hurts but, not as bad. I’m going to someone she recommends this time.

I wanted to give a review however, i didn’t even get passed the office staff to give one. My 2.5 year old broke his leg over the weekend and the receptionist wouldn’t even make me a appointment until I faxed her over the report from my sons x ray. After explaining to her that it was out of town and my child is in pain, she couldn’t even tell me if she could get him in for a app today just told me that I would have to fax the report and wait for a call. Yeah… cause I’m gonna take my kid to a office that is this patient oriented. No thanks! Clearly they don’t have kids of their own.

Had my second hip replaced. Dr Demayo is an excellent doctor and surgeon. Recovery is going great. First hip done three months ago has no pain and second hip is coming along just as well.

XRays were done at the hospital on Wednesday night and it was confirmed that I have a broken foot. First thing Thursday morning (9am) my GP sent all the records to Dr. Demayo’s office and called in to let them know the status. I waited about an hour after the records had been faxed and called in (10:15). I was told my information was still on the doctor’s desk and that they would call me after he looked at it to let me know when I could be seen. I gave them my work phone number and let them know that I was about an hour away so I would need advance notice. I did not get a call back until 1:15pm requesting I be there by 2pm because the doctor was leaving. I let her know it was physically impossible for me to make it there, which is why I had given them all of my information earlier so that they knew time constraints. She said «well then I guess he can’t see you today» and said she’d call back after talking to the doctor about when I could come in. I called back again at 2:30 because I knew the doctor would be leaving at 2:45pm. I relayed the situation and let her know that I knew the doctor was leaving and I needed an appointment asap as I am walking around on a broken foot. She said «That’s why I told you I would call» and refused to give me any further information. I called my GP back and let them know that the office they referred me to was basically refusing to take me or give me any times. She immediately called them and got nowhere. She called me back and said that they were very rude to her. She called Dr. Dougherty’s office and they were booked but they created an appointment just for me because of the situation. I will NOT be back here. And I will most definitely let people know this isn’t the place to go if you want to be treated with urgency and importance.

I recently got referred to Dr DeMayo after an MRI showing that I have a torn ACL in my right Knee which as a Runner and an Athlete felt like my world was coming to an end.
I was a little worried coming here after my regular Doctor suggesting I would probably need Surgery but after my visit I have to say I am feeling quite positive.
Dr DeMayo took the time to examine my Knee and the MRI and came to the conclusion that my regular Doctor was over exaggerating a little and that the extreme pain I was experiencing was most likely overuse as the tear wasn’t all that bad after all. Good in a way but bad in another depending on how you look at it.
Dr DeMayo then went on to explain how he could help treat me and also the functioning of the Knee even though as a qualified Fitness Professional I know this already, it was still nice he took the time to do so.
We came to the conclusion that the way forward would be a Cortisone shot in my Knee joint right behind the Patella in between the Tibia and Femur where the majority of the pain was emanating. Holy hell does that sh*t hurt! He was very precise at doing so and made sure to get the exact spot for optimal results. 2 days later after some throbbing pain from the shot I am amazed at how much better my Knee feels. I’m now feeling a lot more positive about my recovery and have a follow up with the Dr in 4 weeks as well as him setting me up with an appointment with one of his partners for further assistance.
Ok, so I won’t be doing the Marathon I had planned in 2 weeks or Tough Mudder next weekend but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Recovery just takes time and healing hands. As long as I don’t need too many more of those shots I’m good.
