Dr Isakov - Terrible Surgeon

Completely disgusted with Dr Rachelle Isakov. My dad went for an operation where Dr Isakov operated on his hand to remove a metal object from his hand. Firstly they discharged him without giving him instruction as to how and when to clean the wound. Secondly my dad went back eventually to remove the stiches from his hand for the nurse to gut it with a normal scissor and hurting my dad in the process. My dad mentioned to the doctor that his hand is still pretty sore and swollen 4 weeks after the accident just for Dr Isakov to advise him that its normal and the swelling will go down, all good and my dad left it. Yesterday 4 November 2024 my dad saw black stuff in his wound. He the asked his spouse to please have a look to discover there was still black plastic from the bike accident stuck in his wound which his spouse removed. After i discussed this with Dr Isakov she bluntly discarded my opinion and said i am not a surgeon and dont have insight. Surely i dont need to be a surgeon to know that before closing any wound with stiches that you need to ensure all objects are removed from a wound?? I really wish i could share our conversation and pictures of what my dad removed from his hand. Its not a small piece of plastic but the size of a R5 coin. Dr Isakov advised nothing can be done as we don't have any proof?? how ridiculous?? my dad removed that piece of plastic himself because Dr Isakov is to *********** to do so herself. What a disgrace!!! And to top it all off she rescheduled my dad's surgery TWICE after he prepped by not eating etc for the surgery. The Nurses is amazing at Flora, but DR ISAKOV is ***********!!!
