I told him I felt numbness in my right leg. His response was that I was fine and to receive followup care from my primary doctor.

Dr. Yoon is very to talk to, and very experienced with my condition. My only constructive feedback is that I would have liked to view my MRI results with him so he could point to the nerve compression problems in my cervical spinal canal. This would have helped me understand the issues better. I went home and researched my issues and his notes and finally understood better.

Removed restrictions but would have liked more discussion on how best to slowly bring my body back to normal - like a plan of action, I think a referral to PT would have been helpful (I later requested one and it was sent).
