• The provider that I saw seemed very educated and kind, which I very much needed hearing about surgeries that were giving me a lot of anxiety. The only thing that I felt a little bit uncomfortable about during my visit was the nurses that I spoke to during my brief interaction with them, which was just going to get my x-rays and then being directed to another room. But there was just this mild discomfort and I don't know how to describe it, but it just seemed like they didn't treat me like a person of value. But the doctor himself was fantastic.
