Patient Reviews
Oct 28, 2024
Burton Elrod did my knee surgery. I had several ligaments repaired. He prescribed me 5mg of pain medicine after my surgery, which is less than my dentist gave me for my wisdom teeth. The pain was so bad I was on the verge of suicide. I made appointments over it and was just told 'they are cracking down on pain medicine'. I'm glad I am now through it now but if I ever get the same injury I'll just live without those ligaments. I'll never go through with the surgery again. I've had many surgeries, broken bones, and I didn't know pain like that was possible. If you get the surgery get ready for it because you are gonna suffer. I still give him 4 stars because as a surgeon he is the best you'll get anywhere near the mid-south.
