Like Dr Swanson and was grateful to avoid seeing his skill with a knife. His office staff told me because his PA was out I could still get my Xray on Friday and someone would read it. I sent a message through the portal when I got no call, despite being told on Friday I would get a call so I could begin active PT. As it turned out it didn’t matter but would be good if support staff followed through.

Was dismissive and rude, tried writing a note without explaining what he was recommending and how the process worked. When I asked to speak to him again for clarification he spoke to me as if I was a nuisance to dismiss.
