Was really OK visit. I wish I would’ve had more time because of course when you leave you have all kinds of questions, but you don’t have any when you’re sitting there. There are some things that I wish you would’ve went over my x-rays with me, but I don’t know that my clinic set them to him, so I guess that’s that they must’ve because he he knew what was going on then. Yeah, I don’t know. I guess I’d give it a four. It was good.

He really took the time to explain things to me and made sure all my questions were answered before our conversation was done.

My knee condition wasn’t presented to me I had to ask multiple questions. It felt like I was more of a transaction than a patient. And my visit was definitely not patient driven at all. I will not be utilizing this doctor at all. I don’t feel comfortable having him do any type if surgery on me.
