This doctor is clearly on his way out the door. He did not help me in any way. His advice was to eat right, exercise, and see a podiatrist (and I was there for my neck). Because my condition did not require surgery, he wasn't interested in helping me at all. When I asked about a referral to a PT, his response was, "Well, I don't know a PT in [CITY]." He wasn't interested in finding out one to refer me to, either. I also mentioned that injections had been mentioned as a possible treatment plan. He dismissed that just as quickly. He then told me I needed to take charge of my care. I thought that's what I was doing. I'd been to a doctor and a chiropractor. I'd had x-rays and an MRI. I had secured a referral to a neurosurgeon since the x-rays showed bone spurs and the MRI showed bulging discs and compression on the spinal cord. I wasted an entire workday to go to this appointment. I also wasted 5 hours of drive time - 2.5 hours each way - and fuel isn't cheap these days. On the off chance I needed injections that day, I asked someone to accompany me, as I might not be able to drive home. Her entire day was wasted as well. Summary: No treatment No referrals No help I believe there was a resident physician in training. He did some of the talking and explanation, but if that's how the mentor's appointments typically go, I don't have much confidence in his ability to mentor the doctor-in-training. I have had no issues with Radiology. They are wonderful. The front desk employees were helpful. The nurse was fine. This doctor, though. I will NEVER refer ANYONE to him. I basically have to start the whole process over, wasting more time and money, or just live with the pain. And when I shared those concerns with Dr. Pait, he acted as though I was being unreasonable. No bedside manner.

Felt my doctor listened to me, understood my condition and gave me positive and negative outcomes for me to make a decision.

Dr Pait had his mind made up about me before he ever saw me. He told me "we're hardware doctors and you need a software doctor." This "visit" could have been done by video or phone even. Dr Pait was condescending. It was ridiculous that I got up early and drove down to Little Rock for this.
