New doctor to me. He was very pleasant and explained what he saw on my X-rays and MRI. He spent time listening to me and asking me questions so he could understand my pain. He [...] had been well trained and seasoned.

I went to this provider seeking assistance with a back/shoulder problem. During the first visit with said provider, [...] when I reiterated where I was having the issue, I was told by provider he didn't "address that type of problem in his practice". [...] What an absolute waste [...].
