Considering the injury it was appropriate. Doesn't have enough info to go on so an MRI is in the making and that appointment after the exam will prove more valuable and have greater depth and discussion
Verified patient
Dr. Weitzel was great. He was knowledgeable and professional all while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. His office staff was tied up and could not book or discuss my upcoming surgery and told me they would call later in the day. They never did. I had to wait 40 minutes from my scheduled appointment time before I was finally seen.
