I have erosive arthritis, and Dr. Wood’s failure to listen to any background in my case or to even assess my condition was appalling. Dr. Wood’s diagnosis was made just by asking questions and never even through any physical exam or test of reflexes. I was in absolute agony. He gave me a cortisone injection as I sat in my wheelchair, which was totally wrong. Other physicians told me was entirely ineffective that Dr. Wood’s failure to use image-guidance from fluoroscopy or a scanning device was inappropriate, regardless of his degree of expertise. The success rate for even skilled orthopedic surgeons who don't use real-time imaging is less than 25%. Even days after the injection, the pain that I was suffering from upon entering his office was just as intense as it had been. He told me to return to physical therapy, which I soon discovered was not the proper action.I have had an MRI done,and I must now see a neurosurgeon to properly treat my condition in a professional manner.
