I feel great no problem the dr was very good with the procedure
He was considerate kind and showed empathy for my pain. He made sure I understood he diagnosis and the medication that he prescribed. As well as possible side effects.
I waited 45 minutes and didn’t see the doctor, I had to reschedule . The doctor is terrific. This was a scheduling problem
Its not Sami Baig as much as it was the whole process. I have a bulged disc (multiple). The first time I had pain a few months prior they gave me a normal x-ray said it looked good. They sent me in for therapy and sent me back to work. My back went out again. So this time they ordered an mri that I waited for. Then it took a week to get the results. Nobody wanted to work on me till they knew what it was. They had a return date back to work even before therapy started! Now Fmla wants the extension date to come back! How am I suppose to know? So now i need to go through the process once again. But this time I'm going through a chiropractor who has physical therapists and a decompression table. The the $$$ they charge they should have people on top of situations like this.
Felt very comfortable with the doctor. First time meeting. He explained everything very clearly.
Listened toy needs☺️
I felt like he heard me. That's everything!!
Very helpful but his nursing staff were unprofessional and had a bad attitude. She clearly was just performing her duties to the lowest possible standards and didn’t seem to be having a good day.
He is trying to figure out what is wrong with me we're working on it together
He listened, agreed wasn't all lumbar. Gave a shot to help with knee. No other Drs would. Greatful for that!
