"please get a second opinion!!!! Derek Papp performed knee arthroscopy (both knees) on my 21 year old son at my sons insistence knowing he would be bed ridden for several months. Derek Papp assured he would not need blood thinners during his recovery due to his age....until he collapsed in my arms with a blood clot in his lungs for which he was rushed to the hospital. my son who never recovered from the surgeries and as a result suffered depression took his own life at 25. if my family believed in malpractice lawsuits Derek Papp would never practice again!"
