She requested x-rays before giving opinion on shoulder mri for potential replacement. Shana was direct and to the point - not necessary for replacement - got 1st injection and get get more in future, if needed! She also said I, not her, or other medical people, would decide if level of pain would require replacement in future. Kudos to Dr. Malcarney for having Shana as one of her P.A.'s
Also - shout outs to: 1) the Receptionist who was most kind in making sure my friend would be brought into exam room. 2) the information tech was also kind and professional and 3) the x-ray tech was also most kind. So Kudos to all these very professionals in their customer service. Thankyouverymuch. Susan Schroeder
