I had to fish for information and ask all the questions myself. I asked to see MRI images with the doctor to explain with those visuals and he had me read a line of the radiology report. I had to ask him what it meant and he completely disregarded the rest of the information on the report and I feel very uninformed about the general health of my joint. He didn't tell me what to do. He provided me with a packet of PT exercises and I had to ask him how long do I need to rest. Being [...], I am very unhappy with my visit. He spent maybe 5 minutes with me and seemed rush and didn't seem to take me seriously even when I was showing so much concern.
