    2025-09-14

  • Answers my questions and explains the orthopedic issues

    2025-09-14

  • It was an initial check of my lower back pain area. We talked a bit and he checked my flexibility and where it hurts MRI is scheduled

    2025-09-08

  • I get that Dr Bickley was running behind schedule, but he wanted to spend maybe two minutes in the room with me. I'm dealing with a long-term issue that I was bringing up with MGB for the first time and hoping to start making a plan to address and mitigate the main issue and the things that seem to be downstream of it for the long term. Dr Bickley really just wanted to tell me to stop doing things that hurt, which isn't very helpful. My goal is to avoid being unable to exercise and becoming increasingly unhealthy in the long term. I had to specifically request to even get physical therapy, which I'm hoping will be more helpful. Dr Bickley showed no interest in hearing or thinking about the long-running pain/injury issues that I believe are downstream from the main problem here, and my desire to seek understanding of my injury and how to avoid further long-term problems while maximizing quality of life. [redacted] I didn't need to visit the office to know that an injury I suffered has caused permanent damage, my body's been telling me that for a long time. I wanted to get help/information on how to move forward and avoid causing more significant long-term damage to myself. I didn't get that from Dr Bickley beyond the non-useful advice that I shouldn't do things that hurt a lot.
