Where to begin. My husband has had back pain on and off for quite sometime now. Back in November it got to the point that he could barely walk. We went and saw our primary doctor (Tom Peters) who was great. Took lots of time with us to answer questions and note history. We left there feeling better like we were finally going to get some answers. He had my husband go for an MRI and got us in immediately after to go over. He found a few things that were of concern to him and suggested we go to a specialist. He recommended Dr. Bassewitz. I had actually heard some great things about him from other people so we were happy about that. That brings us to today.
My husband got to the appointment (9:50am) and they did an X-Ray on his back. Then they put him in a room for 2 hours!!!!! No one comes in to check or anything. The doctor finally arrives with some story about Govt mandate. Sorry we have had an appointment for weeks, perhaps that appointment could have been the one to wait for 2 hours????
So after all that, he must have been ready for lunch as he only spent all about 5 minutes to say, "sorry nothing there, you have a normal back for your age" and dismissed him!!!!
How disappointing!!! Is it normal to have constant pain????????? I would NEVER recommend this doctor to anyone. My next call will be back to Dr. Peters to also share the experience with them so they don't think this is the place to send their patients. It was a complete waste of time and just horrible that a Dr. can make someone feel like they just don't care. You make your patient wait 2 hours and you cannot even afford 20 minutes to sit with them????????? HORRIBLE
