Dr was awesome.

Solution to my pain during adductor exercises was to send me to PT for some of the same exercise. Keep trying things that don't work. Refused to order MRI to diagonse me accurately even though I offered to pay out of pocket.

Dr Forgette was AMAZING. She listened, she had all my records with her to review, she was EXTREMELY helpful showing where my pain radiated from, why it was doing so, etc etc. She did not miss a single beat. I have already told a handful of people about my experience with her. I felt heard, I felt compassion and I left with a crystal clear path forward. She is a doctor you are very lucky to have in your group.

She was very dismissive and gave no time or care to understand what I was telling her. Didn't go through the pros and cons of the med she prescribed me, just prescribed it and said it may help. Began the visit by blaming me for not having x-rays done when I did do them a full week in advanced. Showed concern when I went in for what led me with facial numbness but then became dismissive after she asked if they did a CT, I said they didn't but should have, then she brushed me off saying they wouldn't unless there were deficits.facial numbness/loss of sensation IS a deficit. Said my back was pretty straight, that I don't have scoliosis, but then scooted back and said she could actually see my curvature. Also said that facial numbness can't be due to compressed nerves in the cervical spine? I agree that it can be predominantly neurological but a quick search would confirm that upper cervical compression definitely can lead to facial numbness. She was dismissive that I felt pinching at the base of my skull when looking up.
