I felt like he fully listened to my explanations of what happened and my concerns about certain medications (because of interactions with other health issues, etc.). I also like that he started out with talking about physical therapy, rest, and imaging rather than jumping to talking about doing anything invasive (I've seen ortho doctors in the past who would do that).
