Dr. Akhavan, [...] show much concern, provide thorough explanations, and answer all questions that I have.

February 25, 2020

I asked if there was a knee brace I could wear. His response was "Not any you would like" and did not even bother showing them to me.

February 18, 2020

The provider looked at x-rays but never checked my knee for movement or pain. he made a conclusion before looking at me and having any discussions with me.

February 16, 2020

Diagnosis was different than before but Dr only gave me own option for treatment which was Physical therapy that was done previously. I was only given one option for treatment after a brief summary of the condition without time to discuss items such as long term impact or activities to avoid. Dr. seemed very rushed and minimized issue that appears to be a permanent issue. [...]

went to provider for shoulder injury. Got an x-Ray right before the dr came in to see me. he came in and asked me which KNEE he was looking at, therefore leading me to believe he did not even look at my x-Ray prior to speaking to me. also did not feel my shoulder at all just made me move my arm twice.
