    I believe the doctor is very skilled in his field with a poor bedside manner. I feel he jumped to conclusions and would not hear what I had to say. Also, I thought I was being cared for by a neurologist. I did not see that on his profile. To begin my appointment, the resident came in to see me first which I did not know would happen. No one told me or asked my permission to see the resident doctor. . I told him a synopsis of 4 1/2 years of what I've been dealing with. Then, the doctor came in and asked me to repeat what was going on, even though I had told the resident already. I clarified with the doctor that he wanted me to repeat it and the doctor said yes. I feel like the doctor really didn't listen to me and several times kept me from speaking. It appeared he controlled the dialogue. He spoke to the resident in front of me educating him on me instead of spending time with me and speaking to me. I feel that took away from my care.I do realize by not having my records that it prevented him from looking at the big picture, I understand that but the way I was treated was very disrespectful. I truly hoped that the doctor could help me, but I realized that it was making it worse. I ended up crying and telling him that I did not like him. He made assumptions about me that someone that was diagnosed with what I was diagnosed with couldn't function as a teacher and realtor. I disagree because a lot is muscle memory that o rely on to function. The doctor apologized when I cried and said maybe it would have been better to have a conversation with the resident after my appointment, instead of in front of me. I agree, he stopped twice to speak to the resident in medical terms infringes of me without explaining what he was saying. He used medical terms to explain something with my middle finger nails on both hands without explaining. I started crying right after because I was so overwhelmed and frustrated. Thank you for asking for feedback. It was terrible.

    Is there a doc like Milton who primarily sees women of childbearing age? He is a phenomenal doc at what he does...and I wish I also had a doc on my team who sees younger, walking women so I have a clearer gauge of my health. It's hard when his main frame of reference is older wheelchair users living in institutional settings.
