He far exceeded my expectations for the appointment. He went above and beyond the scope of my scheduled appointment. I was to get an injection, and he made sure to discuss it thoroughly with me. He also reviewed recent blood work another doctor had ordered, and he made me aware of a lab value that needed to be addressed. We discussed my options, and he prescribed a much needed prescription. I'm already feeling better! He also reviewed my progress to date, and we discussed both a short term and a long term term updated treatment plan. We discussed what outcomes I should expect in the short term, and he reviewed items I need to make them aware of should they occur. An excellent communicator with a fantastic bedside manner.
