This appointment w/Dr. Suleiman didn't go well, her first comment was not Hi, or How are you doing, but, are you seeing a Psychiatrist (where did that come from?) I asked her why she asked me that and she would not give me an answer. My appointment was for an injection in both knees, my right one (the knee that was the worst) didn't hurt too bad, the left one hurt like a son of a gun and the whole knee bruised the next day. I know she does not have the best bedside manner, however, today, for some reason, she seemed worse than ever! If this would've been the first time meeting this Dr., I would not be returning!

She’ll listen to any problems that I had with my legs in my knee especially and did a thorough exam. We discussed possibilities of having a knee replacement sometime in [ ] or [ ] [ ]. She wants to make sure that my other procedures that I want to have to not interfere with anything that she’s going to do. She is very conscientious and keeping me safe and out of risk of infection.
