Mark E Mcnemar's Online Review Report Card

I was rear ended and my thumb was unfortunately damaged severely involving a torn ligament. Dr. McNemar left it in its deformed state with fiber wire and an anchor knowing I heavily depended on my thumb as a hygienist. I immediately started having arthritis due to him leaving my joints bone on bone. I went to Dr Kubik in Springfield MO to have it done correctly. It’s heartbreaking that Dr McNemar I’m sure has the needed skills in his profession but doesn’t use them appropriately.

My experience with him was work comp related. Dr. McNemar and his NP/Nurses were very nice. He also had a very good bedside manner. But during my multiple visits to the office, I saw him maybe 2-4 times including after surgeries. Usually dealt with a Nurse Practicioner. Was diagnosed with mild carpel tunnel on right hand and 5 trigger fingers, Mild Carpal tunnel syndrome, and Guyons Canal syndrome on left hand. Did not receive any, nor did they recommend having any xrays, CT scans, or MRI before having multiple surgeries all at once (preformed 5 trigger fingers, carpal tunnel, guyons canal release all at once). Later had to have revision on guyons canal. Surgery on right hand went fine and did not have any problems with it until a few months ago. Went through ALOT of physical therapy. Surgeries on left hand went well, followed by more physical therapy. Still had problems with pain, grip, etc. But he gave me a MMI soon afterwards and stated that it may just take time but, he didnt think my hand would get any better, but if it did, to come back and see him. Have had multiple appts with specialists and still going through medical visits. Needless to say... my left hand is not ever going to be the same. I have a weight restriction, constant pain, and have only a 20% grip with the hand. I would not recommend jumping into any surgery recommended by Dr McNemar or his NP. But would recommend getting a second opinion, and having tests done before having any medical procedures done.

Just had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery yesterday and I’m already sleeping and in less pain with only ibuprofen than I was before the surgery. Communication from his office was superb. Entire experience was professional and doable. If you need your hands cut on, have this guy do it.

had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists about 7 months ago. would deem both surgeries a success. numbness and tingling are gone and regaining muscle mass and strength in both hands . would highly recommend dr. mcnemar , his team, and ortho, were all top notch. thank you.

We had Dr do what’s called Tight rope proceedor on left thumb joint fairly new technique not done by a lot of surgeons in Kansas through research I located Dr McNemar and could not be happier in Galena Kansas just outside Joplin Mo would highly recommend him and his staff thanks for a fantastic job.

Not allowed to see him before surgery.

True Command of knowledge and was extremely good at explaining my problem and offering solutions.
