There should be ZERO stars, but that’s not an option, because I’ve never been so rudely treated by a physician before. I was in a car accident, as a passenger in the front seat my knee hit the dashboard. It’s been a mess for 3.5 months. After suffering since August in constant, relentless pain and limited mobility in my left leg/​knee, I finally got in to see Dr. N. There are SEVEN things wrong on my MRI. Dr. N said he would only treat one of them as he couldn’t prove the injury happened in the accident. What the??? So after I briefly called my case manager, who suggested I get a second opinion, which I’m gladly doing, I left the room only to see Dr. N berating one of his nurses. I was escorted to an office where they wanted to schedule surgery. I politely told them that I would be seeking a second opinion. As I went back around the corner, Dr. N was still berating his nurse, who appeared to be on the verge of tears. It was then that I knew that my instinct to get a second opinion was correct, for that’s not the type of person I trust to work on me while I’m unconscious and my husband isn’t in the room. Terrible bedside manner. When asked if he saw more damage once he started, he reiterated that he would only fix the one singular problem.
