Dr. MacDougal has always been excellent. He has a good bed-side manner, and I believe he cares about his patients. He has helped me to gradually decrease the opiods I am taking in a safe way that hasn't caused major withdrawal symptoms.

He was more interested in teaching than my questions. Short with his answers. Dismissive.

Dr. Macdougall was very thorough and empathetic regarding my pain. He suggested a new pain medication and he did not make me feel rushed. We discussed the possibility of a new treatment Which was encouraging to me.

Don't really understand why a Dr would take a patient off the medication that helps him get through a 12 hour work day
