My 11 year old daughter had been experiencing severe headaches with back pain for over a year. Her pediatrician recommended seeing a orthopedist and neurologist. She waited four months for the appointment in hopes that she would finally get relief. First the orthopedist made us wait two hours. His exam was flawed and very brief. He didn't care what my daughter had to say about her pain. He dismissed her and said there was nothing wrong. He couldn't give us an explanation of why she was in so much pain! She had a follow up appointment later in the day with Dr. Mack, waiting 1.5 hrs to see him. He came into the room and announced that he had spoken to the dr that she had seen earlier in the day and they decided that there was nothing wrong with her. Just like that without even examining her or being open to other tests. He did say that if she was in that much pain he could give her amitripyline! We went for a 2nd opinion and her condition was greatly improved by physical therapy.
