MIchael S. Kain's Online Review Report Card

This Dr. Did a large surgery on my hip. Sent home with no instructions....did PT...which wasn't helping. Two months later he had me have an arthroscopy done to help diagnose what was happening (why the surgery didn't work) after the arthroscopy...I was supposed to hear from him...I left a msg every Monday morning for five weeks. I NEVER heard back. He disappeared, never cared to help me. I'm left with a LOT of issues now and new pain and symptoms including swollen lymphnodes all around the area he worked on... HE HAS THE WORST BEDSIDE MANNER. I am a great patient, I do all I'm told. He was scared of my body because I don't fit the mold. I have rare genetict conditions to which I told him from jump...(if you cannot fix this please tell me and don't leave me this way). I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this surgeon AT ALL!!!!!! Who says oh your young if we do the replacement you'll die or have a massive infection in five years. Trying to scare me. I recover from surgeries when done correctly and the correct surgery. I never leave a review like this but I would not want anyone to go thru what I have due to this man.

Seems like a nice enough guy but was not impressed by the overall experience. It felt rushed and dismissive. I went in for intense lower back/hip pain but after he saw my xrays and saw no hip issue, I felt he checked out. He told me a few things to do which, i told him, were exactly what i've been doing for last two months and the pain has only increased. His response was "do it more". I continued to push for more options and only then did he actually do a physical examination of me, which consisted of less than 60 seconds of cursory leg movements he did clearly to just placate me. I continued to push and finally got him to prescribe some physical therapy. But after this experience, I don't give his advice any real credence and am getting a second opinion.

Dr. Kain fixed my badly broken leg in late 2016 at Lahey Clinic in Burlington. It was one of many injuries from a bad accident. He did great work as I managed 5 days of downhill skiing this season. Beyond his technical skill he was an empathetic listener, recognized me as a frustrated 62 year old, not ready for a sedentary life, and encouraged me to keep going. Thanks Doc.

Devoted, committed, highly skilled orthopedist. His passion and excitement for each patient is unusual and highly valued. Not only is he highly skilled but with an excellent bedside manner.

I need a hip replacement and Dr.Kain and Megan James were caring to my fears, they explained the surgery and didn't make me feel rushed. I feel comfortable now with going forward with the surgery.

Dr. Kain is caring, compassionate, empathetic and explains things thoroughly. He spent a lot of time with me explaining my options and answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns. He is willing to take conservative approaches, but realistic about the outcome if these options don't work. I am only 42 and have hip dysplasia/synovitis/labrum tear. I trust Dr.Kains diagnosis' and plan of care for me. I would recommend him!

I have had multiple, complex problems with my hips. Dr. Kain has worked with me and my other doctors to help find the cause, and performed complicated operations to help repair the damage. He always spends a lot of time with me at each appointment, and I never feel rushed. He has a great bedside manner and you can tell he wants to help. I would never hesitate to recommend him and always feel he does an excellent job.

I was at a birthday party last night and Dr. Kain was there. He was extremely inebriated, using coupious amounts of alcohol and marijuana. This caused him to constantly fall down and rough house with the guests. Not to mention he obnoxiously groped and inappropriately propositioned the female guests in a sexual nature. These are not the actions of a professional. I would not trust this Doctor at all!

He performed surgery on both my hips. He did a fantastic job. Great guy, great surgeon

I had to rate the wait time a 5 even though sometimes I waited 20 minutes or so to see him. It is worth it, he does not rush his appointments, so If you have 100 questions he will answer each one of them, he takes his time making sure you understand everything that is going on. One of the best doctors I have had. He was my surgeon and performed Surgery on my hip, I was terrified (i was in my early 30s), his bedside manner before and after my surgery put me at ease.
