I had to wait over 90 minutes to see him. He didn’t look at my X-rays even though I was seeing him for the first time and as a consult for surgery . I pulled my pants leg up so he could see my knee. He only looked for a minute. I liked him personally, but wasn’t thrilled when his nurse said u needed to lower my A1c by a point before they would schedule surgery. There was no plan for what I do while waiting for it to come down. Very frustrating.

My visit was very good. I didn’t have to wait to be seen. Everything was jam up. From check in, to X-ray, to seeing the doctors.
