Dr. Budorick performed spinal surgery on me July 2015 to relieve symptoms of spinal stenosis. During recovery, I realized I had lost control of my bladder and bowels. I now use a catheter 3 to 5 times a day to empty my bladder and I have no control of my bowel movements and must wear a diaper and rubber pants. I had hoped that my condition would gradually improve over the past 2 years but it has not.
I have honestly never written a bad review on a doctor before. However, this was such an unpleasent visit I am very unhappy. Dr Budorick treated me as if I was wasting his time. He told me several times that he was a surgeon and I didn't have issues that required surgery. Well, I'm not the one that would know if I need surgery or not. That's typically what the doctor would tell you right? No smiling, no looking me in the eye, no letting me talk, just rude. He said I have degeneration in places on my spine and arthritis but that wasn't his speciality. I needed prednisone and pain management which he is not. Ok so that's all fine if he is not the one I need to see, however don't act like I'm not worth seeing or helping. He could have very nicely diagnosed me and referred me to someone who could help me. I try and give everyone grace because we never know what is going on in someone's life on a daily basis, but I left in tears feeling like I was "bothering" him. I don't want anyone else to feel that way.
Dr. Budorick is by far one of the least empathetic doctors I've ever met. I have scoliosis and was in a lot of pain and he literally had me half clothed, bend down so he could check my spine, and while I'm there all vulnerable he goes "I've seen worse". Gee thanks. I also had to ask about PT or yoga for pain help, he'd shrug and say " well if you think it'll help". Honestly doesn't give a rat's ass. I left in tears. No help.
I am a new patient of Dr. Timothy Budorick. I received a referral to him from my primary care doctor for pain at my C5-C6 & pain down my right arm. I was examined by Dr. Budorick & sent for an MRI and Nerve conduction test. End result was Anteriar Cervical Disectomy + Fusion C5-6 with plate. The operation completion has just past its second day & for the first time in a very long time I am without pain.
Poor bedside manners! Seemed so uncaring!
The professionalism, concern, & care that Dr. Budorick demonstrated put me at ease during the entire process. I will most certainly refer Dr. Budorick to my loved ones & friends. I cannot thank Atlantic Orthopaedic & Dr. Budorick enough for their specialized medicine that brought me back feeling alive without my pain.
