My appointment was one hour late.
The doctor was more concerned with dictating his notes into his cell phone, than answering any of my questions. I felt he was trying to get back on schedule at my expense. The exam seemed very rushed, and he did not want to answer any questions based on the x-ray taken that day. He insisted on an MRI and follow up visit. The doctor left the room very abruptly, I think I was mid question as he went out the door.

Pretty much not helpful. Waited awhile…No eye contact. No manners. Cut me off when I was speaking. Gave suggestion for foot pads and pt… Not much help. Had to request a an air boot several times in order to be able to walk and he said it was unnecessary. I insisted at least to try one on to see if it helped and he just cut me off and held his hand up and said ok ok ok!!!!!
Very rude sir!
Will see a diff dr next time.
