Savatsky Gary J MD

I really don’t know what to make of this doctor. He has great credentials and experience, but he seemed very dismissive of my problems, and did not agree at all with what other doctors had told me. I only went to him to look for a tie-​breaking 3^rd opinion. I have both torn cartilage in my shoulder and a hip impingement. MRI’s confirm both. Doctor #1 said I should have surgery on both shoulder and hip, Doctor #2 said that he was unsure if surgery was necessary but still agreed it was possible. Dr Savatsky, however, said that he wasn’t «impressed» by the MRI that I even had a cartilage tear in my shoulder. He said I was probably making too much out of it and should just «go back to my life.» He also said that at age 30 I was probably too old to have surgery on my hip. It really wasn’t worth it at the old age of 30. Rediculous! I have since gone to Dr #4, who is a hip specialist, and he definately thinks surgery would be appropriate for me.
This is only one experience with Dr. Savatsky, but his very lax attitude and complete disagreement with what other highly respectable doctors have said make it very unlikely that I would ever go see him again.
