    I would like to say that the receptionist carried out great customer service. I had pressed the wrong buttons and some of the answers to some of the questions on this survey were supposed to be all threes, but I had pressed two by accident. But I had great customer service and I was well taken care of and the staff was great.

    He could have built more trust in me if he had paid more attention the first time I was there. The first time I was there, I felt like he just blew me off and didn't even look at the part of my finger, which was my concern. But then he told me to come back a month later, and then he finally paid attention, but I just felt like he didn't listen at all the first time I was there.

    It felt as if the physician didn't listen to all my issues and jump quickly to what he thought it was regardless of the existing symptoms. He even stated he does think the xray would show much however to do an MRI "they" would need to have had an xray done. I can only think the reference to they being the insurance company...this was unsettling and even asked the technician, is this really necessary knowing it's not a bone issue? I have to pay for something that's not going to show anything. And it didn't. I was told well you never know...yes you do. We know our bodies. Not saying the dr is all bad just too quick to work within system. Just so happens I have a muscle specialist and he agrees the dr from this clinic probably missed it and in their opinion, I was right in what's happening. We started therapy which had a 90% decrease in pain after one visit. This was the day after I saw Dr Dew. Dew felt I tore a bicep without any pain in the bicep.

    the doctor would have listened to my concern and been willing to look at my finger where I had a problem more closely. I felt like he needed to use a magnifier or something with a light instead of just looking at it and saying there was nothing wrong.
