He recommended that my partner not get surgery to repair her ACL, saying that she’ll probably be ok without it repaired. She was in her early 20’s at the time and worked an EXTREMELY active job. He just wanted to get a workers comp patient out of his hair as soon as possible, and he made it blatantly obvious from the start.
He was constantly late for appointments, always condescending, and only respectful toward her when I (a male) would go with her to appointments. If you’re a work comp patient, he doesn’t care about you - you’re not making him enough money.
