      This experience here at this provider was a waste of time. The Dr and the nurses told me I had too many issues and I need to be seen for them one at a time. Mind you this provider sent me to have X-rays before my visit knowing full well what my issues were. My back issues weren't even fully explained to me just briefly shown my X-rays with no full understanding of anything. They sent me to therapy which I've been too before except now I have limited mobility. I have right light weakness that makes it hard for me to drive at times, I told the nurse that she brushed me off saying oh so you need transportation? Well someone could help you with that, I replied I have a brand new car that I can barely drive due to leg weakness she says maybe you should find someplace closed to home and I replied this conditions happens on short or long rides that's not the issue. They pretty much faulted my insurance for lack of better healthcare mind you I'm disabled, I receive Medicaid and I'm black so it was racially motivated to shame me wich it didn't, thanks but no thanks.

      When I entered Suite 160, it was unclear to me where the receptionist desks were because they were not visible (they were around the corner to the right). The only desk I could see to the immediate right was unoccupied. As I was standing there, looking to figure out where I check in, a receptionist walked right by me, and did not say anything. I then realized where she went, so I walked over there, and was then able to check in. I would've expected that she would've asked "can I help you?" when she saw me standing there at the entrance, but she basically ignored me.

      I was very well pleased with Dr. Foster. She took the time to read a previous surgery report from many years ago that I brought with me. She listened to my descriptions of pain that I was having. She showed me the current x-rays that were taken at her office. Although she said that surgical intervention couldn't help me, she ordered physical therapy sessions and instructed me to call if that didn't help. She also took the time to engage in conversation with me. Again, I am very well pleased that I saw Dr. Foster.
