    I have worked with Dr. before. He was very aware of my situation. Utilized imaging to explain further treatment options. Asked if I had any questions throughout his explanation

    MD was running behind which is understandable in a clinical setting. However, my appointment felt very rushed as it was only 15 minutes. I was in the room at 10, and MD arrived around 10:10. Appointment was finished at 10:23. I was not asked if I had any further questions or concerns. Minimal information was given to me regarding my condition, and how to manage my ongoing chronic pain. All of my concerns were not addressed.
