I drove 3 hours to get some results for my issue, I was told I had to wait for another appointment for any procedures to be done. I feel I was misled at my last appointment with orthopedic institute. I still have the issue, but need to wait at least another month for some relief hopefully. I am a long time patient, but am sorely disappointed.
