    He does not talk clearly, his thoughts and therefore his words are fragmented so it was difficult to understand what he was saying. He also did not address my pain at all. Once he knew I was not a surgery candidate it seemed like he wanted to be done with my appointment, as if I was not of interest. My time with him was a complete waste. I should not have been charged for the visit.
