Dr Perry listened to my concerns, didn’t rush me and explained procedures well.
Appointment was rushed, abrupt comments, like my issues did not warrant visit with "busy neurosurgeon"
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?!
Always caring, helpful with suggestions on my healing. Listens to my problems and is helping me to heal. Good man.
Smily

Thorough, patient, careful, doing tests, considered previous tests and comments. Looking fwd to next appt.
On time, professional, courteous.
Gave me a plan of action!!
