I had been experiencing extreme hip pain that shot down my left leg for about 6 weeks. I tried chiropractic care and was finally advised to see a pain specialist. The next morning I couldn't even walk and the pain was off the scale. As I was on my way to the emergency room I decided to try the Core Institute to see if they could get me in for a same day appointment. The receptionist was very kind and offered an appointment an hour later. Not knowing what to expect at the emergency room, I accepted the appointment. After an hour wait, I saw Dr. Collins. He asked me what was wrong, looked at my x-rays, twisted my foot to the left and then said "nothing is broken and it is not your hip, I am a hip doctor and you need a back doctor". I was sitting in a wheel chair crying with pain. He never examined me more than moving my foot slightly. I never even got out of the wheel chair. In a matter of 5 minutes he said "well I guess we could order an MRI, if that's what you want but it will take about 7 days." What a waste of time! Dr. Collins had to have been the most insensitive doctor I have ever seen! He didn't even take the time to examine or ask if he could do anything to ease the pain. I left crying and completely frustrated. I went immediately to Mercy Gilbert Emergency Room they had me in a room with a nurse, doctor, IV and CAT scan within 30 minutes. I would never recommend The Core Institute to anyone! What a joke!
