I was taken back by a comment made that I didn't even know what she was talking about or what it meant .The bed side manner was very upsetting and doesn't make you feel any better especially when you don't feel good anyway but usually she is a great Dr.

Much appreciation for this care!

I went back & forth on whether I should be seen for a new incident of back pain and am so happy I came in. My Dr. Took my concerns seriously & very competently recommended some tests to get to the root cause, as much as possible. She also informed me of futures options if the recommended course of treatment didn't work. I also appreciated that suggested moving a followup appointment date up before I leave on a major trip That helped give me peace of mind.
