This doctor is rude and the appointment was a waste of time. I waited weeks for this appointment following a referral from my primary care physician and was left extremely disappointed. He did not explain my X-ray results and did no physical exam on me - he spent the 15 minutes with him leaning against the exam room table asking me what questions I had. Dr Petrolla uses a dismissive tone and gave me advice saying I could take it or leave it. He also recommended over the counter supplements and told me to ask my brother who is a personal trainer which I should take. He told me to go to PT but gave no recommendation as to who I should see and I received no follow up paperwork. I will be seeking treatment and advice from somewhere else.

A great doctor. Always takes time to listen to the patient. Treats patient before diagnosis. More doctors should relate to patients this way.
