Saw Dr. Derek Shia in the Milford, CT office this past summer with knee pain. Turns out I have significant arthritis in both knees diagnosed by Dr. Shia. I have to say I left the office in tears because of the lack of care and empathy and solutions offered by this doctor. He basically said I wore out my knees and will have to have a knee replacement down the line. Offered no solutions, no physical therapy, no supplements. He broke my spirit and I spent the next month depressed thinking I could no longer do the things I enjoyed. Since then I went and got another opinion with a wonderful doctor who sent me to a sports physical therapist who totally gave me a different perspective on my diagnosis and offered me solutions and therapy to keep my legs strong. I would NEVER EVER recommend this doctor to anyone and think he needs to go back to school to learn how to deal with his patients the right way!!! I would have given him zero stars but that wasn’t an option!
