When I broke my leg almost 2 years ago Dr. Tankson ordered Xrays every time I went to see him, plus he had the Xrays I brought with me from Urgent Care. My fibula healed in 3 weeks but there was huge swelling from knee to ankle on my leg. For almost 18 months he told me to be patient and that the hematoma would shrink. I went to Dr. Nguyen to see if my knees needed replacements and he took one look at my leg and said it wasn't a hematoma but a Morel lesion and needed surgery and ordered an MRI to confirm. He took out a fluid filled sac that he could've put his fist and forearm into. Total misdiagnosis by Dr. Tankson and very brisk 5 mins. with him after very long (1 1/2-2 hr) waits in waiting room at every appointment. I was very disappointed in him.
