Don’t feel we were given enough information. It was just Weir doing this and how she.
Dr Naclerio was my second opinion for a knee that has been causing me so much pain for over 3 weeks. The first opinion I was handed a bandage to put it on myself at home and said to do 8 weeks of therapy. I was so discouraged. It hurt so bad. I couldn't fathom going to therapy. This doctor listened to me. Explained everything in detail what was possibly going on and gave me a shot in the knee right then and there for my arthritis. Boy, what a relief. I still have pain but it's only been a few hours and cortisone takes a couple days to kick in but I'm extremely happy in her bedside manner is wonderful I felt cared for
