Dr Dery had reviewed the notes and was ready to address my pain, including a new recommendation paper
My first visit, was seen by Dr.Dery. I must say that good strong hand shakes are a good thing of character, however, he practically crushed my hand when he introduced himself. Then I kinda felt like we didn't even talk about my feet and he didn't really inform me of anything else other than what a nutritionist would have told me of what foods to eat and what not too.Depends on my diet and what i eat. Dr. Dery did prescribe me a new medication so we will see if this helps. I understand that I have nerve damage, but he basically told me in a nice way that the insurance i have was not going to cover what I needed to help me for the future unless I went through PT again for the same things that I have already tried before and didn't help. Im sure he's a excellent doctor. I just was not impressed with the visit.
He's a great doctor. He explains everything very well.
Dr Dery made me feel comfortable with referrals for my care. He was very thorough and explained my case and treatment in a way I could understand.
So good
Listens and works with me to make pain better.
Appointment on time. Injection was explained and done with efficiency. Very happy with Dr. Dery and staff.
Explains well, clearly addresses concerns and is attentive.
I appreciated him talking me through the procedure step by step. Pleased with services I got.
Kept talking to me while doing the procedure that helped me take my mind off the pain. Excellent thank you
