Provider was good but not what I needed. I waited a month for this appointment just to be told that I was scheduled with the wrong physician and now need to wait another 2 months to see the physician I actually need to see.

I really felt like I was being listened to.

Knowledgeable, personable, and effective. Although my primary concern may not have aligned with the need for his speciality, he still listened to my concern and effectively used X-ray to provide reassurance and rule out my concern. He did so with great respect and a genuine interest in me as a person and human being.

This provider did an adequate job dealing with me, a patient with a complex load of issues to address. He was patient and listened politely. He did not address the deeper underyling issues, but came up with a solution to alleviate some symptoms.
