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

Over the years, I have always been extremely nervous and unfulfilled when seeing a provider to get treatment for my issue. This is the first time that I ever felt heard and understood and I walked out of that room happy.
