1st visit. Very impressive
Jun-2025
Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. He was about 30 minutes late, never acknowledged or offer an apology. The assumption that my time isn't as valuable would be incorrect. I wanted guidance on how to return to an active lifestyle. I'm healthy, not over weight, on no medication other than vitamins.As an avid tennis player, not being able to play or even swim is extremely frustrating. Instead of a collaborative conversation, I was given a dismissive analogy about being an old Ford car, it is what it is. There no discussion about my goals. Options seemed about coping rather than healing. If he would have listened, then could understand what active to me means.
