I felt like she didn't listen very well. My daughter hurt her knee and because the X-ray was fine she basically said it's a strain and if it still hurts in a week come back. I knew the X-ray would be normal, because she isn't have a bone issue. I feel like it was a wasted trip and if it still hurts in a week, I will have to schedule another appointment just to try and figure out what is actually wrong. I could've avoided unnecessary bills for tests that I knew would come back fine.
