I was referred to your office by brunswick novant hospital, I didn't just show up and ask to see a back/spine dr, I was rushed through your process, to me it seemed as though I had wasted the doctors time, I had a few questions but was told it wasn't his field, again I was referred to your office, and this visit did absolutely nothing for me, you guys made me feel like since my situation didn't require surgery, it was time for me to go,

We had the most bizarre experience with this doctor today. We came in for him to read the results for my husband’s FCE test. That never occurred. He instead seemed almost annoyed or angry. He said my husband “didn’t try very hard.” during the test. (A test he wasn’t even present for to witness.). The doctor didn’t even seem aware of my husband’s condition since the surgery. We were contacted by the nurse prior to the FCE test and told that my husband’s blood pressure was extremely elevated to “stroke levels”. We were told he was unable to take the test in that condition and to come back after it was lowered… he was turned down twice… almost 3 times due to the blood pressure and according to his doctor… the blood pressure was high due to his medication and PAIN level from his back injury.
An injury that Dr. Rodger was supposed to have tried to fix.
Dr. Rodger’s asked lots of questions that he should have known answers about.
We left with more questions than we got answers.
