Dr Vess sent me back to work without the MRI which he was waiting to be approved. I sustained an injury to the spine and was untreated for 2 years, nor did he prescribe any medication twice, last visit and this time. I explained to him that I was having trouble sleeping and didn’t feel stable walking and he ignored me, rudely walked out of the room and never came back.
