Dr.Perry answered all my questions and I felt very confident of his abilities and experience. Although I definitely did NOT want a back a back.operation. I went to see Dr. Perry to see if there were any alternatives. He has referred
me for physical therapy which I am much more comfortable with.

I’m sure Dr. Perry is a very nice man and perhaps even a brilliant doctor. Unfortunately, in the approximately 15 minutes I spent with him during our initial consultation, I felt incredibly rushed and unheard. It’s possible that he was just trying to get back on schedule, because he was late for my appointment to start with, (which he did apologize for.) Again, he is probably a very nice/brilliant doctor. But no matter how nice and brilliant he might be, I will not be going back to him in the future. I need healthcare providers who don’t make me feel as though we’re running a verbal race to see how quickly we can just wrap it up! Fifteen minutes, hmm… did we at least win the race?!
