Dr was so caring. He recommended a pain clinic and gave me a support to be wrapped around my waist & back support , that is my story@ & I’m sadly stickin to it, The one doctor i have not seen within The practice ,I would ,,certainly tell someone about him,,,,,
While he was very willing to prescribe any sort of medication and he knew which were likely to not be fit for breastfeeding. I was quite disappointed with his bedside manner. He showed little concern for my actual pain. He didn’t offer any suggestions that didn’t seem to come from a textbook. I had hoped he could offer a better understanding why my body had trouble and what I could do in the future to help prevent this from happening. He seemed to only think about the spin not the entire body as a system working together.
Cordial, professional, knowledgeable. But, I thought he was going to give me an injection before I left??? Maybe, my misunderstanding! Don Joseph
Whole picture kind of guy! Very thoughtful careful analysis and discussion
