Rowan J. Michael's Online Review Report Card

I broke my arm 6 months ago and Dr. Michael fixed me. I'm finally back to playing golf without any issues. Did a great job.

I had a complicated injury involving my elbow, forearm and wrist that needed surgery. Dr. Michael spent a lot of time going over the injury with me and explaining the different methods of surgery. I am now 3 months out and doing great. Still not back to working out yet but on my way. Highly recommend him and his team.

I had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists with Dr. Michael and had a great experience. He took time to explain everything, gave me multiple treatment options and did successful surgery on both wrists. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Michael and Premier Orthopedics.

I have never written a review before but feel compelled to do so. At my appointment, Dr. Michael manipulated my broken finger without looking at the x-rays and I had to remind him that he needed to check them out. At that point, he said that my finger was sprained, but I insisted on an MRI. While waiting to make that appointment in the waiting area, he called me back to his office because -OOPS- he missed that my finger was broken! Then he told me to wait a week and go to PT. I went to PT as directed, but OOPS again, he didn't let them know and give any directions. I decided to see Dr. Huxster for my follow up because of bad vibes and OOPS again - my finger was in terrible shape. Dr. Huxster was amazing and caring, but told me that my volar component collapsed due to the PT and that I would need a complicated surgery, but my finger would likely never be the same. I opted to go to the Philadelphia Hand and Shoulder Center and Dr. Zelouf performed surgery two days later. I had a cast up to my elbow, cadaver bone inserted, and months of PT. It's been over 6 months since this debacle and my finger is stiff and misshapen because Dr. Michael didn't take the time to diagnose me properly. It will never be the same.

Takes the time to listen, is very caring, and overall an intelligent physician. Highly recommend him!

I had to have urgent surgery recently for a broken shoulder. Dr. Michael did the surgery in the hospital and I have had subsequent follow-up in the office. I cannot say enough good about Dr. Michael and his support team including PA and NP. He was pleasant and very patient with all of my questions both in the hospital and office and I never felt rushed. He did a great job with my surgery as well. The bone doctor who released me at the hospital said the post-surgery xrays were excellent as were the ones taken two weeks post-surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Michael and Premier Orthopedics.

go to this guy!!! Rather obvious he couldn't wait to move on to the next patient. He did everything right during his examination, but his vibe and attitude said it all, and often it's that kind of connection that makes a doctor's CARE of value to someone who is in pain or discomfort. There are alternatives to this guy. Find them.
