Other docs, was super knowledgeable and explained realistically what i should expect with my diagnosis. He was also very kind. Highly recommend.

I have no words for how rudely I was treated by this dr. I say in the patient waiting room for almost 2 hours. Nobody poked their head in to let me know what's going on. When he finally came in he didn't introduce himself and immediately began telling me I need to lose some weight. ( no kidding I've been trying. I'm heavy but not obese) Then he tells me I have to have a spinal fusion and goes into the fastest recap of my prayers. Reminds me again that I need to lose weight before he will fuse my spine (I don't want surgery) tells me it's only going to get worse and to see his Physicians Assistant in 6 weeks. I will be getting a second opinion elsewhere. He then leaves without ever telling me his name or any reason as to why I sat in that room for almost 2 hours. I've been to the Core before and had a wonderful experience when my knee had problems. That's why I'm shocked by this Dr bedside manner. The rest of the staff were wonderful
