6 week post surgery follow up.
No exam, no real assessment, she didn't even ask me to demonstrate any movement.
Told her I had trouble sleeping since the surgery... She offered no solutions and seemed to not care about my sleep - kinda vital to healing don't you think ? If I was paying for this visit outta my pocket ... I wouldn't pay. They were busy so maybe it was a time thing, but my rating is based on my experience - not their workload.
