I was not to happy with this latest appointment. They took x-rays, took me back just after, updated chart and the doctor came in, (wait was not long). She looked at x-rays, said it looked good, stretched my leg. Pressed in areas that I had pain, told me I shouldn't have constant pain after 7 months and recommended a deep rub therapist. Bye and reschedule with Doctor who performed surgery in a month.

I waited longer on hold to make an appointment than the doctor visit. Was not worth being referred to ANOTHER therapist that charges $50 for a 30 minute deep rub and not covered by insurance. My doctor bill will come out three times more than the time was worth. I may be looking for a second opinion elsewhere.

Adrian never calls back and now that I think of it the appointment was originally set up by Adrian and she knew the reason for it, although she didn't know Dr. Ian's attitude she never informed them or made a note of the reason of the visit which would've removed probably the whole visit and the anxiety that came with it. and the medical assistances lied for the weirdest reasons. After my review I got a notification on my portal from Laurie stating "Dr. Ian did not complete STD paperwork", even though she left me a voicemail on Friday stating that she had prev faxed the completed paperwork on that Tuesday. I'm unsure for that reason but if it trickles down the top totem pole of miss miscommunication and your care is at stake, go somewhere else.

I had an appointment with Donald Morganson today. I thought he was wonderful! Very thorough, very caring, and made sure that all my questions were answered. Because we had to put off my surgery for unexpected reasons, he was able to give me a cortisone shot to keep me pain free until the surgery itself.

Dr. T. Olsen shows that he care. He ask questions about my pain and how I'm feeling. He hears and listens to what I'm saying. He takes the feedback and we discuss possible best options available for me, because everyone's different. Dr Olsen is always pleasant, you never feel like he's rushing the visit just to get to the next patient. I feel like he really cares. In the beginning of each visit you're greeted by one of his assistants who are always pleasant as well. I appreciate that! I'm glad that I found out about the Core Institute.

I am about to take the final plunge into spinal cord stimulation. You folks have guided and supported me in my pain free journey since 2018. I am grateful for each and every one of you! In about a month I am assured to be pain free and I cannot thank you enough for all you've done for me!

I have the best rapport with my doctor. He is a very caring individual thats concerned about his patients. I couldn't be happier than l have been these past years. He makes my treatment experience comfortable and he explains everything well. I'm blessed to have him care for me.
