    Good: Doctor performed a number of manual tests of my shoulder until he identified the motion giving it problems. He estimated what the probability was that I wouldnt need surgery. He provided me the option of seeing a physical therapist or not. He prescribed me a medication. Bad: He didnt mention the x-ray I had taken.

    He acted completely put out having to be there. Didnt really listen to anything I had to say. My right hand is more than a picked nerve in my neck and he would not hear any of it. Have to go get another referral to a different doctor because I feel he just brushed me off and was a nuisance not a patient.Will never return.
