"Dr. Pochatko did surgery on my foot and as he said: "it did not work". He explained that sometimes surgery doesnt work, and that he made a judgement mistake. The surgery I received was incredibly painful and had a VERY long recovery. UNACCEPTABLE that I endured such agony for nothing as now I need a second surgery to fix the same issue. Judgemnet mistakes earn you one star (wish I could give zero)."
