About John Ingari

Professional Statement

Dr. Ingari graduated from Harvard University in 1982 with honors in biology, and he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society while in medical school at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland. Following medical school graduation in 1986, Dr. Ingari was promoted to captain in the United States Air Force, beginning a 25-year career that culminated in his promotion to full colonel. He was deployed to combat operations on multiple occasions, including serving as the deputy commander of the Air Force's largest theater hospital in Iraq in 2005-2006. While in Iraq, he performed over 500 surgeries on combat wounded, and he remains an internationally recognized expert in trauma care in the upper extremity. Dr. Ingari most recently served as the division chief of hand surgery at Johns Hopkins; he was the associate fellowship director of the Johns Hopkins Hand Fellowship and was an integral part of the Johns Hopkins upper extremity transplant team. Dr. Ingari also maintained his upper extremity trauma skills by taking upper extremity calls at R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. Dr. Ingari has devoted much of his career to teaching residents and fellows and continues in that path as the director of the Sinai Hospital of Baltimore Orthopaedic Surgery Residency program. He holds the rank of associate professor of orthopaedic surgery at both Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland. Dr. Ingari has authored over forty book chapters and peer-reviewed articles on the hand and upper extremity and is currently writing a textbook on the care of the traumatized upper extremity. Dr. Ingari lives with his wife of 34 years in Essex, Maryland. They have three children, Christine, Michele and John, all of whom have graduated from college and have successful careers of their own.

    The women that work in the front at the desks, etc., they were rude, they never smile. There used to be a group of women at the front desk that were wonderful, they are now gone and I'm not sure where they were transferred to or why they're not there anymore but it's very sad that life bridge hires so many people based on color and not people based on thoughtfulness, courtesy or plain nice people! It's as though women that worked at the front desk are angry that they have to work and they look at all of us as though we have a lot of money and they treat us that same way. Personally I don't know who does the hiring/or the firing but whoever is part of personnel has done a very bad job. Aside from having wonderful wonderful people who are the providers themselves, the staff and workers are horrible.

    My experience, my not so good experiences with the, I believe the reservation office, which I just learned is separate from the actual office, the ortho office that I went to. The person in registration or reservations, reservations, appointments, the person that made my appointment, When I called to let them know that I was there and that I was running a few minutes late, that person did not make me feel like a unique individual. In fact, the person was quite rude when I was trying to notify them that I was there and that I was checking in with the security office. I did not get the person's name that I talked to on that day. It wasn't the person that made my actual appointment.

    The registration process is excessive, and I fail to believe that LifeBridge doesn't know it's flawed. To make us register, then do it all over again to check in cannot be necessary. And now, on arrival, theres a new sheet I'm told everyone has to complete at each visit, and with one singular exception (my pain level), as a returning patient, everything asked on that sheet is already in my chart. I resent busy work. I will not be filling it out moving forward. I suggest your operations team look at the friction points for patients-many of whom may be in pain-and find ways to minimize them, rather than maximize them, which is what's happening now.
