This is one of the worst experiences of my life. Dr S. Mehta is supposed to be a pelvic expert I read his reviews I read his background I thought I could trust him. He has ruined my life. I was in pain before but he put me in a crippling state. I cannot do any of my favorite things. I cannot go to the bathroom right anymore. He told my daughter I made him operate on me. Which I did not nor did he ever say he did not want uto do it either. So I guess he just wanted the money. A surgery he said would take 1hr and 20 min took 6 hours an overnight stay turned into 4 days a lot of blood loss. Then he did not even come and talk to me. He took away a bone that is a primal support bone from an already compromised pelvis. I cannot feel my area I cannot go to the bathroom correctly he would not answer my calls or address my concerns. My primary was my only salvation. He took away my life cause I do not have one now. I used to run circles around my kids now I can barely walk up steps I will need a colostomy bag according to the gastro doctor who said Dr Mehta cut my nerves to my intestines. Dr Mehta told me he did not move any muscles or anything but that is impossible. I wish I never meet him and never let him operate on me.

My surgery appointment was for 12pm. I didnt eat anything since the night before as advised by his team. Surgery didnt start until 5:30pm. That in itself was frustrating because I was so hungry and just sat around waiting at the hospital. I was looking forward to seeing him right before the surgery, but we never got to see him before or after the surgery. I understand he is one of the best, but he needs to make time for his patients. My husband and I didnt know what was done during surgery or anything. I will come back to rate the actual surgery itself once Im healed.

Dr. Mehta was my friend's doc for his surgery. But after the surgery, he didn't even meet my friend or his family. It says a lot about someone who doesn't follow up with their patient. He for sure is just in it for the money. I'm incredibly disappointed. I do hope the nurses who did take better care of my friend make way more than Dr. Mehta does.

About
Samir Mehta, MD
Dr. Samir Mehta is a fellowship trained orthopaedic trauma and fracture surgeon, treating broken bones and injuries of the arms, legs and pelvis. His goal is to improve function by restoring form, including fixing fractures that have just happened, along with fractures that may not be healing or may have healed incorrectly.When most people think of "trauma", their thoughts often go to events like car crashes or falls from heights or natural disasters. But, trauma is any sort of injury, like tripping while running or missing the last step on the stairs or breaking something during an athletic event. Dr. Mehta treats "hot trauma" (injuries that have just occurred), as well as "cold trauma" (the effects of injuries that occurred in the past).As a result of the diverse patient population that he has treated over his fifteen years at Penn Medicine, Dr. Mehta has helped build a team that specializes in caring for patients who have broken their limbs or had soft tissue injuries using specialized equipment and soft tissue techniques. He has also developed specialized programs on limb realignment, limb salvage, limg lengthening, and deformity correction. He serves the local, national, and international community with his fracture work, including professional and semi-professional athletes who sustain orthopaedic trauma and fractures. In addition, Dr. Mehta uses his skills in working abroad on medical missions.Dr. Mehta has been recognized by Best Doctors in America in 2009 - 2012 and 2015 - 2018, along with several additional teaching awards. In addition, Dr. Mehta holds several local, national, and international leadership positions with respect to orthopaedic trauma, helping define the goals of care for the next generation of surgeons, and volunteers in developing nations providing education and patient care. Dr. Mehta is passionate about what he does and how he does it.Recognized in Philadelphia magazine's annual Top Docs issue for 2021.
