Be forewarned. You will be repeatedly told--from your first call to this doctor's office, to when you check in with the receptionist, to when you are questioned by the office assistant, to when you see the doctor himself, that .... we will ONLY TREAT 2 BODY PARTS. Their mantra is: "We only treat 2 body parts." I felt like I was at a car dealership getting my car serviced at a cut-rate facility. So, if you fall and injure your shoulder, elbow, wrist and ankle, you can only have 2 body parts evaluated. The doctor did examine my shoulder, broken elbow, sprained wrist and sprained ankle while telling me he could only examine 2 body parts.
The doctor wouldn't approve an MRI for me either, even though I went to PT for three months and provided him with hospital x-rays that show damage to my shoulder. He said that I would have to wait another month for the MRI, (after completing PT) and then, he would only write for the MRI .... IF he didn't see improvement. The doctor explained that this was because of insurance ... I have two insurance providers and pay around $1,000 a month for both. read more
