I felt like I was in a patient drive-thru service. He never looked at my neck or shoulders. He didn’t examine my range of motion in my neck. All he did was look at an x-ray and basically said that I’m just old.. so I guess all people 44-years-old and older should have prolonged neck pain that leads to migraines. I won’t be returning for a follow-up. I’m not sure of standard procedure for a first appointment but I did not leave feeling like I had answers to my problem.

He was more interested in getting me out of the office. He had his opinion before he came in the room.
