The doctor and the trainer were both very thorough and took their time explaining to me what may be the problem and what I should do next. My issue is a pretty common one but when a doc still takes the time to be thorough, it always speaks volumes to me about the competence and care provided. It's easy to be dismissive or overlook things that need to be communicated to the patient so I appreciate it when I'm given the time and attention necessary.

He was on par with my other injuries and refers me to PT every time which I prefer for pain management. My back injury with nerve pain shooting into butt and calf needs something more than sodium naproxen. For future research, the hospital should look at other non narcotic treatments for this short term before steroid injections since it impacts quality of life / sleep.

Dr. Bennett and Laura listened to me and provided me with everything I needed for treatment including a prescription, splints, and a referral for OT as well as a referral for a specialist if my condition doesn't get better. They did all of this in 30 minutes! I'm a new mom and the last thing I need is to have to go to the doctor multiple times just for them to send me somewhere else. I'd rather be spending time with my kid. I really feel like I have what I need and it was done in an efficiently but still with kindness and care. Thank you!
