The doctor and staff are all very friendly and efficient. I had a epidural steroid injection and it was explained well to me. My problem is with follow up. I was sent home with a short list of instructions, mostly saying to rest. No follow up appointment or treatment was suggested. No details on how long the shot would take to work or what I might expect from it was provided. No one has called to check on me or how the procedure went. It is disappointing.
