Not lacking his competence in regard to ortho topics, but lacks the human element. I am over 50 and he ruled out needing hip surgery, but also made an age-related comment which was obnoxious. I presented with minor pain, but also mentioned leg weakness in addition to pain. He said that he could send me for multiple MRI's of my hips, pelvis, etc., but at my age something would show up on all of them due to age-related deterioration. This was a sexist remark, not just age-related. I was supposed to just do some exercises and get on with my life I wasn't looking for pain relief, just some kind of referral to possibly a neurologist as walking on numb legs at times isn't particularly fun. Hopefully this doctor will have similar issues as he ages and certainly will not just ignore his own problems. If you are young and male go to this doctor.
