Appreciated his attention in listening to my condition and symptoms.

Fluid being injected into thumbs should have been injected slowly rather than all at once. The pain was absolutely horrible (10 on scale). I know this because I have had these injections before and confirmed this by looking it up. He also did not go over with me how extensive me arthritis is. In fact he only discussed surgical options when I asked him about them and he said it so fast that I had ask for the name of the ONLY procedure he does. In general he was the worst doctor and visit I have ever had and I have had many!
