He did not seem to care that I still have pain. He offered no explanation or possible solution other than its not a surgical issue. Did not offer any additional means to help with my pain other than adding physical therapy to what I have already been doing. I explained that I understand what the tests say, but I do not want to continue to take pills and that the pain has increased. He seemed to not care at all. He did what he wanted and left the room. The visit could have been a phone call rather than waste my time driving to the clinic since my pain was so easily dismissed.

The resident who saw me at first was great. I felt like he listened and heard me. However, I had a very poor experience with the attending doctor. I don't feel like he listened to took my concerns seriously, and it felt like he mocked me for being incorrect about my medical issue. I was asked why I came in and I said I *think* I may have XYZ. He laughed and said, no you don't. That's not what it is. Which is fine, but I don't need to be laughed at. I explained my symptoms as best as I could to get an appointment. It's not my job to know what the issue is. That's why I paid to see a specialist. I definitely do not want to see that doctor again. He may be in a competent doctor, but his bedside manner is terrible. I've been fairly happy with Vanderbilt overall, but this was an extremely negative experience.
