The team & provider took their time to hear my current concerns with my progress. I was provided a visual of the spine access along with the current x-ray. I was very glad to hear I could begin removing the various conditions such as the "BLT" and walker. I was encouraged to continue existing robust PT from Home Health plus now schedule outpatient PT. We worked thru a medication "weaning" process and I can drive again. All things slowly.... I look forward to the next 6 week follow-up. Thank you.

I was referred to the best in the nation and they were correct. I feel and believe that to be true.

This visit was quite unpleasant. There were 3 med professionals in the room with me at one point. It was a tiny room. Very uncomfortable. They seemed like they didn't even want to be there. Made me feel like I was wasting their time.

My care provider was of course knowledgeable and respectful, but I had to ask for clarification a few times because it felt like we started part-way through the diagnosis. He mentioned several spine procedures by their initialisms and I had to ask what they stood for and what those were. I am not a spine expert (yet). We moved quickly and I didn't feel able to take written notes so was trusting that the assistant was recording everything for me later and for my referring provider. He did answer all my questions and we were able to confirm a course of action.
