Clarence spoke at me for the duration of the appointment starting with therapy he would not consider and why. Physical exam without explanation of what/why he was assessing, nicely reviewed knee imaging which was helpful. Therapy plans appeared as cut and paste into my AVS (PT, balm/heat) versus individualized plan. Spoke down of other care givers (IM/PT) prior recommendations and emphasized his extensive experience. Provided prescription for medication that could be purchased OTC (was more economical). I was a number with a knee issue, next.

I had the last appointment of the day. He was very rushed and wanted to get out of there. He said out loud I can't keep working these long hours. He had a coat on to leave before I had even left. He couldn't find a brace that he wanted to give me. He told me to call the next day and ask about the brace which I did. They said there was nothing in my record, ordering a brace. I have called requesting that brace, and I have heard nothing since then. He talked fast and had a very strong accent, which was hard for me to understand. I would've liked to talk to him more about some different options for care. I am in a lot of pain and wanted to talk through some different things, but felt very rushed.
