I was very disappointed with Dr dearoff he walked into the room he didn’t even sit down I told him about my ankle nonstop movement and pain in the ankle which I’m having right now I’m in such agony right now he stayed 2minute and walked out the room I sat in the room speechless I was actually crying in my heart how can you leave someone in a room in a bad situation and walk away you have no empathy i guess for certain people I’m trying this now and whatever is going on in my ankle it’s rubbing all the way down to my spine and my lower buttocks I need some imaging of my spine to see if that is triggering down to the right ankle, and have the audacity to right up my paperwork saying I have disease in some areas of my body with out letting me know about I just happen to read it today Dr dearoff you owe me an apology and I mean that and I want that diseases note out of my files. Treat people the way you want to be treated my name is Stephanie Modeste phone 215-279 2932
