I was informed via the portal that Dr Stephens did not need to see me anymore. Then we I inquired about an injection, they told me I do need to see him before it can be scheduled. Then when I came in to see Dr Stephens, he told me he did not need to see me again but yet call and let his office know if injection helped. And, I could call Dr Yang to schedule further injections. I am very confused because I really need someone to follow me and work with me on my back issues. If he does not want or need me as a patient any longer, why did he not refer me to another orthopedic doctor to follow my back issues?

Thankful he listened to me. Also informed him I didn't want another surgery due to infection fears and he listened. Most definitely informed me no surgeries for right now. He was also a second opinion and listened better than my last surgeon.
