Ver effective but could slow down and listen a bit better
Jun-2025
I had my initial appointment today (6/16) with Dr. Hormel. He was very nice and knowledgeable. I felt like he was in a bit of a hurry and did not ask if I had any questions. I would expect at a first appointment with a new patient that there would be time allotted for a patients questions. This was my first time ever seeing an orthopedic doctor for my knee. I had a list of questions and told him that I had some questions. He did listen and answered my questions, but I had to initiate this. I would have given him a higher rating if he had asked me if I had any questions.
