10/28/20
I don't feel like I got enough explanation, just quickly scheduled for surgery. I then sought a second opinion and had a long consultation with the physician, who took new x-rays rather than relying on my week old ones and described not only the course of treatment but the recovery. These guys were nice but I felt commoditized.

10/28/20

I came in with what I already knew was [...] [...] issues - not bone. I was looking for ways to address that pain - such as physical therapy or orthotics. What I was told was that the only way to find out about that would be to get an MRI. Intervention offered was injections into a joint that showed [...] on x-ray, but which was not causing pain. I did get a prescription for a new [...], but that is only because I requested it. My experience with Dr. Beaver was that he was nice enough, but very much fit into the category of "when you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail." I was needing someone with more tools.
