Peak Orthopedics: Mc Pherson Hugh D MD

My aunt had to go into surgery and Dr. Mc Pherson was absolutely wonderful. She had nothing but great things to say about him. He was kind, professional and did an amazing job however, his assistant was completely out of line. My aunt said his name was Dave, after reviewing your site I would imagine it was Dave Speidel. While my Aunt was sedated, this man touched her inappropriately. She was on a heavy dose of pain killers and she woke up to him touching her in her private area. After this incident I wouldn't recommend anyone taking their loved ones there. I hope this helps someone.

I've heard outstanding things about Dr McPherson from a co-worker who is familiar with his work but sadly I didn't have that same experience. I met with him last week for an initial visit for cervical disc replacement surgery. I'm not sure if he was just having an off day or something along those lines but he seemed very distant and almost disinterested in being there. Discussing the surgery and all things involved he was very basic and seemed not very forthcoming. It felt like I had to beg for answers to some very basic questions (aftercare, recovery time, limitations). The feeling I got was that he would have rather been somewhere else and smugness. He also appeared to not be a fan of workers comp patients, perhaps that was the reason I got the attention I did. I will say the front office staff was very kind and organized. Again, giving him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps he was just having an off day. Perhaps not. Either way when you walk in the door all that needs to stay outside. My fear would be Dr McPherson having an off day while slicing into my neck. Final thought is to always get second opinions, or thirds or more.
