      I felt the doctor rushed himself in and out, had very little to say. The x-ray technicians were wonderful, but I wasn't thrilled with the doctor. He really didn't have much to say. He walked in the door, he walked out of the door, he showed me my hand. The end. No follow-up at all. But thank you very much and have a blessed day.

      Yes, my blood pressure was elevated when I come in for my surgery and I felt like that maybe they shouldn't have given me the surgery before I started and then after we got prepped for the surgery, things didn't go well so I didn't get to get my surgery like I should have because my blood pressure went way up and they put the nerve block in and it blocked and closed my throat in. So I'm just letting you know that I wasn't really pleased with the way everything turned out. But just if you have any questions, just give me a call. Thanks.

      I had called a few weeks before this visit and asked for someone to call me back and let me know how much it would cost to have the surgery done, and I never received a phone call, so I had to get them to answer that question while I was at this appointment. So, getting back to someone when they call would be my advice. It would have made it better for me. Thank you.

      The clinic staff were courteous and respectful. However the consultation with the doctor left me with mixed feelings. While I respect his straightforward approach to delivering test results, I felt like my input about the location and nature of the pain wasn't taken seriously. I tried to explain my symptoms and history, including my long-term use of wrist brace at night to help with pain while sleeping. His response felt dismissive and disrespectful. Comments like "well, you put your shoes on every day" this didn't sit well with me. Basic summary from my point of view, if later results show damage then something might can be done, until then live with it. I paid a $90 copay and lost time from work for this.
