Very thorough and thoughtful. Instead of rushing to a diagnosis he did imaging and found a solution to a problem that was no where near what my previous provider thought
Dr. Brick did an anterior approach hip replacement for me on 3/10/16. I have very little pain, am only taking Tylenol for pain, and was doing stairs on the second day. Very impressed with his skill and expertise with this technically challenging approach. Very happy with the results.
Dr. Brick may be an incredibly gifted surgeon, but he is a moving target and is extremely evasive in his answers to your questions. His PA is pretty useless in assisting you following surgery, and he's impossible to reach following surgery, so you are on your own, unless you make an appointment and can grab two minutes of his precious time. He is not always truthful in what he tells you he intends to do such as "I'll see you every day in the hospital after surgery" (no he won't), "We'll make sure you get all the services you need," (no they won't). The care on the floors of B&W is very poor. The separate pods are all a mess both in the desk areas and patient rooms. There is zero personal care. I was in a hospital bed there for 4 days in the same johnny, and not once did a PCA offer a warm cloth to wash with or a change of clothing, and when I did ask was told "I'll be back for that later." There is better care in other Boston hospitals or other Partners hospitals in the suburbs, don't waste your time going in to Dr. Brick. Since this is a teaching hospital, you are going to be tended to by a lot of students, and don't get me going on that.
