Montclair Surgical Associates: Strom Karl W MD

My experience with Dr. Strom turned out to be very bad. He did not spend much time with me in analyzing my condition and determining the surgical procedure for my hernia operation. Also he did not listen to me when I told him I was taking several antibiotics for the treatment of a Lyme disease disease and he said OK, no problem. He never looked at my file before the day of the operation where it was noted in both the new patient forms and in my Cardio clearance that I was taking several antibiotics for Lyme. When I was at the hospital for my hernia operation, Dr. Strom looked at my file and saw hat I was being treated for a Lyme disease infection with several antibiotics at which time he decided to call off the operation for fear of infection. This bad experience could have been avoided if he had just listed to what I told him and had reviewed by file ahead of time.
