    Doctor was informative, caring, and provided printed exercises for me. He specifically showed me on my xrays how different movements can cause strain. Also, was told if I would like to do physical therapy he could provide a referral. I would definitely recommend this provider.

    I felt cared for, but I wish these appointments did not feel rushed. I don't feel like there's time to fully understand my next steps. I wish someone could have gone over my instructions (exercises) before I left the office
