His advice to me for crippling back pain was to “stay thin and exercise” and that an MRI was not medically necessary as he was convinced it would come back negative and he didn’t want to cause more worry. He did say it cheerfully and with glowing bedside manner so do with that as you will.
Very personable. and professional.
Very straightforward and helpful.
He was very approachable….from all my questions that I asked….answered them all. Kind with patience is a great combination to someone who has questions.
