He was very busy meeting his patients being so tardy, that there was no time to ask questions. He was with me for a total of 8 minutes. Very little can be discussed in that amount of time when you are being set for surgery.

The Doctor followed through with contacting the physical therapist to change my therapy, to what would be more beneficial.
