This was the first visit with this dr. There will be more every 6 months to track progression (if any) of the diagnosis. My granddaughter will be more willing to continue this journey because of the good rapport with the dr. Getting the xray was a little uncomfortable for her with the technician-rapport not there.

I love our Orthopedic Dr and his Nurse. They're always great. The receptionist is very unprofessional and rude. I asked for a Dr's Note for school and recieved an attitude about it. To top it off the note was written that of a third grader. I understand people having bad days but receptionists are the face of the facility. I run a skilled nursing facility and would never allow an employee as such. Only complaint but I would take that into consideration, due to that could be what keeps or loses clients.
