SUrgery dr. was very kind & uplifting.

Reviewed on Dec 13, 2023

I had an earlier date appointment and within 7 days of scheduling, I was called because Dr. Preston had to cancel and ended up pushing my appointment to another month before getting in to see her.

Reviewed on Dec 13, 2023

Dr. Preston pretty much said that she wouldn't do surgery and wouldn't give me narcotics for the pain. I had to schedule ANOTHER appointment with ANOTHER orthopedic doctor to get this shot that she claims will help. So I have to wait ANOTHER month for the injection, which ended up getting rescheduled because the scheduler didn't allow enough time for the procedure.
