Thank you Dr. Slade!
Other than that, he's operated on me 3 times, and while surgery sucks no matter how good, he and his medical team were top notch.
I went in for a simple carpel tunnel & ulner release surgery on my lot hand & arm. Dirk decided to do a ulner transposition, which means he's completely relocated the ulner nerve. As I have talked to other Drs they made statements of: you don't mess with nerves.
So medical side, top notch, admin side, perhaps overworked or something, but it was frustrating to not get calls returned.
I brought all of these problems & he stated that sometime things don't always work out the way we would like. Then told me to go to IHC risk management dept. They told me the same thing as he did. They told me to go find a lawyer & sue them.
Plus, he didn't put me in a splint which was done on my rt arm without a transpostion. All he did was wrap my arm in an ace bandage.
I can not recommend Dr. Dirk Slade as a Dr. to anyone. Basically I wouldn't recommend any IHC Dr. as IHC is run as a business for profit & not for medical help & healing. If I didn't have to rate a 1 star just to leave my comment I would of of given a minus 5.
I met Dr. Slade after an accident I had while hiking in the Narrows, part of the Zion National Park. I had an accident which involved my left middle finger and index finger (crushing type amputation with fractures of both fingers). I assumed that I would be living the rest of my life with a significantly smaller left index finger due to the fact that I was 3 1/2-4 hours away from an emergency room. Dr. Slade did and exceptional job in reattaching/reconstructing my finger, it looks great! I felt Dr. Slade was such a competent and compassionate physician I opted to continue my followup care with him, I live in Las Vegas, NV-this is a two hour drive from my home to his office, it was well worth the time!
I couldn't find a lawyer that would take my medical malpractice law suit in the whole state of ut.
I have had trouble with the admin side of the practice, mainly not returning phone calls.
Ultimately I had to much movement to early, and the ulner nerve is pinched like an HR glass & I have lost feeling in my ring & pinky fingers 1/2 of my hand & down into my wrist leading towards my elbow.
Dr Slade is great. He is talented and patient focused, as is the medical team.
Dr. Slade performed carpal tunnel surgery on my hands (right in October, left in December) this year (2015) and he did a fantastic job. You can't even see the scar on my right hand and it's working much better than before the surgery. My left hand is healing beautifully. I would recommend Dr. Slade to anyone needing hand surgery of any kind. He is a hand surgeon genius!!!
Did an amazing job fixing my broken ulna from a horse accident. Hated that it took so long for my bone to heal, but it did, and I'm back in the saddle again!! I have full range of motion and very little residual pain. Thanks for all of the hardware in my wrist Dr. Slade!!! *_*
