Although I prefer seeing a doctor, the PA did her job. I suggest to show the patient their MRI or X-rays as you explain the issue(s) the patient is experiencing.

My mom and I were both very impressed with Amalia and Dr. Whitfield's entire team. Amalia took the time to answer our numerous questions and explained them in a way that was easy to understand. She was very thorough and never made me feel like I was asking a stupid question and made me feel like all my concerns regarding my surgery were valid. She was very patient and kind and did well covering everything to expect before, during and after my surgery. She even made sure that I had met all of Dr. Whitfield's team so I would see familiar faces in the operating room. My mom kept commenting how she wishes she had Dr. Whitfield and his team for all of her surgeries over the years and was very impressed.I somehow walked out of my appointment less anxious about my surgery than walking into it, which I didn't think was possible! Amalia had an answer for everything and truly went above and beyond. She was very genuine and could tell that she cares deeply about her patients.As someone on the autism spectrum, knowing what to expect and understanding all of the small details of my surgery, from prep and pre-op to recovery and beyond, makes all the difference in the world. I never felt rushed. And having a team on your side that takes the time to all pop in to speak with my mom and I during my appointment provides both of us the reassurance that I'll be in good hands and all will be okay.
