This appointment was an utter disappointment. I waited over 45 minutes past my scheduled time, only for the doctor to spend barely three minutes with me, and refer me elsewhere for OT without doing any meaningful evaluation. He skipped the most basic diagnostic tests for carpal tunnel (tests that take a few minutes and could have provided immediate insight). I’ve since had those tests done and they indicate I likely have carpal tunnel. The lack of thoroughness and care was astonishing. I genuinely don’t understand how this dr. has so many positive reviews.

Fastest in and out ever. Did not get my questions answered. Did not learn anything about what was going on with my shoulder. Was referred to a physical therapist who I’m sure will be very helpful but I could have skipped the time and cost of this doctor visit as I got no help and learned nothing.
