I arrived for my appointment and was immediately greeted. I had to fill out some paperwork so that pushed back my appt time, yeah rookie mistake always arrive early to fill out paperwork lol. But once that was done five minutes later i was called to the back and seen by the PA, Robert. He was awesome, listened to my concerns, suggested some alternative treatments, and got x-rays to rule out other issues. After that was done, Dr. Wilkerson came in and addressed any concerns i had and re-affirmed what Robert had already said, referral to a specialist and therapy. They were both polite and professional. I look forward to going back for my follow up and any other issues that need to be addressed.
