I was scheduled to see him but I never even saw him only saw his MA then his PA. He didn’t even come in to introduce himself and I don’t know if he looked at my X-rays. Why schedule me with him if I’m not going to see him?

Seems very forthright in answering questions and good about not pushing me towards making a decision about what to do.
