Doctor was uncharacteristically dismissive of my concerns, did not allow me the time to explain the updates in my medical history, cut me off from telling the symptoms I experienced, and refuted the statements and concerns of other medical professionals (neurologist at hospital, primary care nurse practitioner, doctor of physical therapy, neurosurgeon, orthopedic surgeon, and master of physical therapy) without letting me fully explain their assessments nor reading the notes in MyChart. Doctor did not do a thorough physical assessment of symptoms.
