Would appreciate more direction. There are 7 potential procedures that I could have. I ruled out 3. Would have appreciated a better explanation of the remaining 4. His way of handling it was referring me to another Doctor for a consult. That costs me TIME! Now I have to trust another doctor who I have never met.
