Consultation, Doctor #1

So I met the docs and they felt they could do an athroscopic procedure on my L5-S1 to alleviate the stenosis there and get rid of my pain. However, asking them about their procedure, they didn't seem that knowledgeable and talked often about how they were better than their main competition (who I am going to see tomorrow). The whole place felt like a factory, and they treated me like I was just another number and a check for them to cash. I guess I am really haha, but it comforts me to feel like my doctor cares about me and wants to see me feel better and be healed. Am I crazy for that? I hope I have a better experience tomorrow.

I am sorry to hear...

So, you are in Florida? Try going to Deuk Spine Institute.

Guys, I just really don't feel comfortable at this one. Plus I've read bad things about them. I like a doctor who really cares for me. I'm writing my second review up in a minute!
