He was professional and not rushed and ordered an MRI and I am looking forward to seeing him tomorrow for results and help thanks
Skilled surgeon, great staff.
Very good at going over with you with your problem
He was very patient, he explained an option instead of surgery for now. I was able to get the injections for my neck today. I really feel like this is going to be relief. Thanks to the entire staff. You all were awesome!
I didn’t meet or see the doctor seen his PA. The doctor had to go to surgery. I live 2 hours away felt this was a watse of my time to not even see the doctor
Saw one of his PA's.
Barely spent 10 minutes with me. Did not call in prescriptions he told me he would. This place is like herding cattle! Went about 10 years ago and thought the same but decided to try again and nothing had changes
Exceptional person! He explained everything to me in a way that was easy to understand. He offered many treatment options and we decided on the best course of action to fit my special needs. He's very grounded in the science of treatments and highly approachable. Most doctors believe in only one way to treat a problem. Medication. He offered no such thing only as a last resort.
The doctor came in and hardly said anything about my concerns. Neither did he ask any questions. He was in and out in a very short period of time. I do not feel like I was heard, nor do I feel like I received a good explanation or details about the MRI. I did let his nurse know how I felt and thankfully she had the PA come in and explain more to me. I drove two hours for this appointment and was very disappointed.
Impressive to home inspector on a treatment. I wasn't told the life expectancy of the treatment, otherwise I would have given 5 stars.
