I had two appointments with this doctor and he did not show or review my X-Rays and MRI in either visit. He started the second visit saying I needed surgery, he did a sketch of the surgery on the back of a picture print out from the MRI and then explained the recovery period. I was given a business card and told I would be contacted to scheduled the surgery. I did not receive the care and attention that I usually get from all of my other doctors.
