I felt very rushed. Dr was half way out the door when I started asking questions and he never came back in, just stood in the doorway as I asked my questions. I was the first patient and he was 15 minutes late and I felt I was suffering for his being behind before he even started his day. I also feel he didn't take my history of back surgery into consideration and pay more attention to the severe stenosis at a certain level of my spine that my surgeon feels is worth closely monitored on top of my recent fracture.

A computer was not used, notes by the doctor were hand written. I was shown paper copies of the X-rays I had brought on a disk. I felt it was a good appointment once he arrived. It was short but I'm sure time was spent going over my records, the X-rays and the radiology report I brought with me.I have gone into MyChart and printed the Daily Progress Note. I have also scheduled my first PT appointment as recommended in my appointment.

I am an Emory provider, Dr Monfared seemed more focused on L spine and not the SI pain I had come in with. Ordered MRI which did not address SI pain. Offered invasive modalities first and after asking for non opioid pharm was given Rx for lyrica.

Dr jumped to assuming I had an injury when I repeatedly insisted no injury caused my pain. He was quick and blunt and made me feel like I did something wrong.

This was a second opinion so I brought an MRI and X-ray. I'm not sure how much time the Dr. Spent looking at those tests before my visit with him (understandable if he couldn't spend a huge amount of time) but I wondered at times how much he actually saw of the test since I brought them with me to the appointment.

Once he determined that I was not pain management, he said I should speak with a surgeon. There was nothing more he could do. Fair enough, but pretty cold. Also, the MRI noted a 5cm cyst on my kidney, he said nothing. I guess I expected referral to a nephrologist.

The doctor may have been having a bad day due to the previously mentioned delay. He was polite and asked if I had questions, but I didn't have a chance to explain my symptoms fully before he diagnosed me. Perhaps it was that clear cut to him, but it left me wondering if what he identified is the true cause of my current symptoms or just a long-term issue lingering in the background.
