    I probably will not see Dr. Bateman again- because he is soo busy and I do normally see Sydni Wright ARNP. He did ref me for several testing- MRI, orthopedics, etc- not fixing it but getting better idea of what problem was.

    Dr. Bateman is a very professional physician who cares about the patient and says he prays for all his patients. Being a Christian is ultra important to me and my care as a Senior.
