I had my first gel shot for my knee. No one seemed to notify dr Rex that it was only a one shot type. She still came in the room expecting to give me the first of two. No one knew why my insurance ok'd two doses.

Not impressed with the care provider. I was in pain (still am) & I felt she just brushed it off. Don't feel I got the help I was looking for. From a fall 2 months ago I know have osteoarthritis? With no real explanation as to why & what can be done. Felt like she didn't think it was serious but I was & am still in pain. Also felt like she wanted me to make all the decision but she is the doctor & should have been suggesting a game plan. Left frustrated with no real answers. Don't think I'll be back & would not recommend her to anyone.

Good with Dr. Rex, but the radiology Dept. terrible. Behind. Waited 15-20 min, then they sent me to other building because there was no wait. I also waited for 15-20 min. Then I had to go back to first building to Dr. Rex at which point they were pissed I was late. Your people need to communicate with each other! I was initially there 2 minutes EARLY!!

Reviewed on Sep 8, 2020
Horrible experience. Doctor spent less than 10 minutes with me. I had a list of specific questions I never got to ask because she was so rushed. She performed an exam but didn't respond to any of my specific concerns or ask me if I had questions. She simply referred me to another provider, which I cannot afford. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, what the prognosis is, or if there is anything I should avoid. She barely made eye contact with me. I felt like no one in the medical staff cared about me or wanted to help me at all.
