Still having pain and limping after my hip replacement surgery so had an MRI done. I called for the results and they said I would need to come in and speak to the doctor to discuss the results. So I had to wait 2 weeks because of “spring break”. So I waited and guess who I saw? The nurse practitioner not the doctor with the nurse practitioner reading my MRI. So I essentially waited weeks in pain for nothing. I got a steroid shot and oral steroids to take for a partially torn tendon. This is a practice with many doctors so I’m not sure why they don’t get coverage when they are gone for as long as 2 weeks. Also, you can never talk to a real person on the phone .. always have to leave a message and hope you get a call back. Last week I tried calling 3 different days and every day the phone service was not even working. Just got a buzzing sound when I called. Maybe time to find a new doctor.
