Sent me for X-ray and said he would call me when he decided what medication to give me . Have called and left message but still have not heard back.

I felt like the care person didn't understand the extent of pain and problems I am having for not having examined me at all except to listen to my lungs.

I think that the visit was too lengthy. The staff is professional and knowledgeable though.

The area that needs most improving is the communication with the patient. I called the doctor's office four times before, well, left messages for the nurse to call me back four times because I was concerned about my prescriptions not being filled. No one informed me that Dr. Peela was not going to refill my prescriptions and that he was going to send all my medication to a pain specialist, which all my medications were not previously prescribed by my pain specialist. So that was very poor communication between the nurse, the doctor, and myself.

Nurse [NAME] is exceptional definitely has the patient's concerns at heart. The two doctors that saw me had not seen me before but seemed to be genuinely concerned about my care. Dr. Peele I believe was the one in charge.
