He pushed me too hard. & I was out of work for 2 days. Said I had phantom pain. Which is not true, I saw the surgeon & had another MRI that validates my pain. So no I don’t want him as my physical therapist. I now will only see Kelly. No PT should make judgement without facts. I also believe he lied to me about paper work, said it was for the surgeon. I will be seeing the surgeon this week & will ask if that is true. I think it was for work comp & he could have said so if it was. This could turn into a big issue.
