Waited for almost two hours to see the doctor

This place is very efficient. They took X-ray and made me feel comfortable about my assessment. I will be back for treatment.

Doctor was great. Addressed my concern's and has ordered some test
Mar-2025
After speaking to his resident, he was consulted and came in to meet with me. Didn't even introduce himself. I had to ask him. "Oh, are you Doctor Venizia?" He said yes, I said.."nice to meet you" He said nothing to that introduction..He was very short and not very nice. When I was leaving and walked past him in the hallway, just the 2 of us. I said nice to meet you. Thank you and he just kept walking. I got in my car wanting a different Doctor and that's probably what's gonna happen.

Very professional excited to see what he can do with my back so I can walk again
Feb-2025
He introduced himself quickly and seemed rushed. However, he was thorough and ordered 2 extra x-rays my pc had not ordered. This showed a problem I didn't know I had. He suggested an injection followed by an MRI if there was no improvement. I had to ask at the desk how long to wait before scheduling the MRI. I felt my doctor should have told me this. He left the room before I thought to ask, again making me feel rushed.
