Was told I was going to be able to have surgery by a Nurse Practitioner and needed to see Dr. Perry to go over the procedure before hand. Just to be told he can’t do anything for me. That something was definitely wrong with me and I should ask for a referral to Sanford, San Francisco or the Mayo Clinic. When my original referral was to Dr. Lynch. Maybe the nurse practitioner and the doctor should be on the same page. I just did 6 weeks of physical therapy to have physical therapy for nothing. When I was told I was going to have surgery cause I had multiple things wrong with my back
