  This Doctor is recommending Guardasil for Boys knowing it is not covered by most insurance..., Dec 30, 2011

We feel this Doctor's office breached trust with us by recommending a Guardasil shot for our son during a routine physical and not disclosing the full cost of the vaccine which is around $1000 and also not disclosing that it probably would not be covered by our insurance company. We have repeatedly tried to contact his billing department and they do not answer their phone and do not return phone calls. We finally were able to speak to his front office supervisor and she was completely unwilling to compromise or help in any way.

Prusmack has left me disabled and his complacent PA after a common 2 level fusion @ 90 days post op CT scan and x-ray the PA certifies me solid fused and lifts all restrictions even though i failed at PT and told them several times my symptoms where the same as before, it fell on deaf ears, at 7 months of complaints screaming a MRI was done again the PA reads the film on his own again and states to me all is perfect its me and not the fusions its stress and time off work / 5 weeks later i was having emergency surgery to remove my C-7 it was now PULVERIZED $17,000 in titanium parts removed from my neck thrown in trash along with what was left of my vertebra $52,000 for the first surgery $112,000 for the second / now 12 months off work i was supposed to be off 3 or 4 months/ i have never returned to work and most likely never will,the very original CT and X-RAYS done at 90 days ALL SAY THE FUSION ARE INCOMPLETE FROM THE RADIOLOGIST/ I must assume prusmack never read the report or the film and his PA OH the MRI that was done at 7 months the radiologist called dr prusmack personally to tell him my neck was psuedoarthrosisi and he didn't tell me until weeks later then pressed upon me i need emergence surgery i was in grave danger why didn't he tell me when he was told? he`s a coward, they never rea any of my reports from the radiologist in the 10 months if they did then the lied to me the whole time, i got copied latter on all the films and reports and had them studied by other spine surgeons/ none of them agreed with anything the PA told me or wrote in his reports and one of the doctor apologized numerous times for what had happened to me,he said you have a very hard future in front of you, Doctor prusamck later abandons me and states a few weeks after the second major spine surgery and he wired my spine together at rear and in front a much longer plate and screws the pain was and still is brutal he states all my pain is gone any my symptoms are all gone, i hadn't even
  Disappointed with Dr. Brian S. Edkin's abandonment of care after so many mistakes..., Sep 23, 2011

Dr. Edkin performed 2 hip implants on my wife using the DePuy ASR implants. He did such a poor job on both that my wife never recovered from crippling pain, then he informed her that both of her implants had been recalled due to a high failure rate and poisoning from chromium and cobalt. He offered no apology, no remedy, and no advice. As soon as he felt she became a liability to his practice he basically dropped her. It took him 8 months after informing her of the implant recall and that she could be in danger of chromium and cobalt poisoning, to do a blood test for it and he found her metal levels were elevated. She has had these implants in her body for over 2 years. Aside from a test for infection he ran because of her constant crippling pain he basically told her “just give it time”. He never did the appropriate testing to discover her true condition. So we had to find another specialist and we did. They immediately ordered MRI, Bone Scan and Hip aspirations to determine her true condition, after which they replaced both implants correcting Dr. Edkin’s work. They found and removed significant damage of her soft tissue from chromium and cobalt ions. If we had continued to trust Dr. Edkin that damage would have only been getting worse, and who knows how long he would have let it go?
