MENNINGER FREDERICK J MD

I went to Dr. Menninger for a total hip replacement in May and he did a GREAT job. I ride horses and I was having such pain riding that I was going to have to give it up. Now I am back on the horse and totally pain free. In my book, he did a great job. He also did both hips on a Veterinarian friend of mine and he is back in the saddle as well. I would recommend his work and his staff are so friendly. Two thumbs up.

Do not go to this man no matter what. He did my total hip replacement and crippled me for life. At the time it happened, he told me it was a «fluke», that it had never happened to him before, and there was no way he could have foreseen or prevented it. Eight months later he did the exact same surgery on my next door neighbor and crippled her the exact same way! For a year after the surgery, he kept assuring me I would get better if I was just patient, and he did nothing to help me cope with this debilitating condition. He was only concerned with placating me so I wouldn’t sue him, and he couldn’t care less about my pain. Even if you live in Ojai and think it would be good to stay local, do not let him near you with a scalpel. I cannot emphasize this enough. If you value your mobility, you will go elsewhere.
