I had my left hip replaced on February 14, 2014 at the age of 44, by Dr. Brian L. Sullivan MD.. I have never had any relief from the pain, hip locking up for no reason, being constantly uncomfortable, not being able to walk because since the surgery, my sciatic nerve has really given me troubles w/my hip, knees, lower back, ankles/feet, the other hip, & toes.. My legs from the knee down to my toes are numb, have very poor circulation, black/blue in color, & hurt really bad, and that all came on right after the surgery.. I've had appointments right after the surgery, 6 months after, & 1 year after the hip replacement, just to bring all the troubles to his attention hoping that he would do something about it like make it right, find out why, & instead of putting me down & treating me like I'm crazy, & making me just a number, not a person that helped him pay his bills, he was very cocky when I went in to the office, but didn't do anything for me except give me a couple cortisone shots & then sent about my way.. The shots did absolutely nothing for me, but he didn't try anything else to try to make me feel good and with no pains.. I really wish that he would have listened to me, heck I might of been okay (good to go).. I hate feeling like this w/this hip, barely getting around, no hiking (at all even trails), no horseback riding, no motorcycle riding, I can't hardly do oil changes on my truck or wife's car because it hurts to bad getting up & down from under the vehicles (I have to have something to pull myself up).. I wish things could have been different for me, and I am just one person with these complaints, others may/will have a totally different story.. He has a great reputation for what he does in his profession, & I'm sure that people can't just make that up, so please don't let what happened to me & what I have said change your thoughts of going to Sullivan or someone else.. TYFYT

Dr.Sullivan, I,m sorry to say didn't take the time to listen to any of my problems as he spent about 10min with me as a new patient. I was told from him that he can not help me. I was told to see a Pain management dr. NO RECOMENDATION. NOTHING .He walked out of the room and left me standing there .After a while I walked out and left the office. What a Waste of Money and time.
Dr. Sullivan is the best! He replaced both my hips and made me feel comfortable about it, was compassionate, caring, knowledgeable, even humorous! I could not have asked for a better surgeon.

I had been experiencing neck and shoulder pain for two years with no help from any other doctor I had visited. Dr. Sullivan took care of me in one visit. :) That was months ago. Making another appt today! Love him!

Dr sent my wife to get MRI, but did NOT compete his paperwork. After trying for more than 2 weeks to get her appointment, she called their office back and HIS receptionist Trisha, who covers authorization, blames DR. Sullivan. She talked to her supervisor, and was told they were not blaming the doctor, but then laughs (wink wink), so she got the message, Dr. Sullivan is incompetent from them. She just need to stop her pain in hip and knee and have been seeking relief through this Dr. but get the run around and some pills that hardly work, The other problem is that every DR she am able to see with this Ins plan is through his incompetent office. Also his staff told all us old ppl waiting in his office last time he would be 2 hours late... at least offer us coffee or water while we wait like old cattle... My next review will be how they refuse to see my wife now that I put my 2 cents in...
