Dr Udupa,
Was friendly and took time to explain my symptoms and offer a solution to my problem.
Thank you.

Confidence bordered on arrogance. Dismissive of my hypothesis on why my left foot was swollen. Inadequate explanation of his alternate diagnosis. Short superficial examination failed to examine my right foot for comparison. Inadequate explanation or diagnosis. Dismissed any value of my 6 year old MRI. Disappointed. Unlikely to see him again. Used CORE because of wife's excellent experience with Dr Allen in Gilbert. I may not use Core again.

Did not explain the situation without me dragging out with questions. Talked crap about Banner. I don't like them either but that's unprofessional.. brushed off other foot issues as unimportant to him. I would have liked things explained.
