      Dr.Oloff didn't receive the MRI, CT Scan, or X-rays from the image place and therefore we weren't able to discuss all that might be required to help me with my foot. Dr. Oloff also wanted to consult with another Dr. To determine what is the best ave and treatment for me. I will be returning again next month to learn more about what is wrong on with the total foot and types of options I have. I'm thankful that He has taken the time to make sure it's in my best interest that's what needs to be done for me, and to consult with another doctor and get their opinion as well.
