I saw Dr. Kendall for an epidural in the spine 2 weeks before an accident on April 3, 2021 and I returned to him shortly after the accident. I had informed the NP prior to my 2nd epidural treatment of severe pain following the accident as well as two nurses in the room where the epidural took place, so he should have known and ordered an updated MRI before inserting a hypodermic needle into areas of the spine where I had 4 new herniations. Dr. Kendall did not speak directly to me, he uses the PA staff. He did not use lidocaine to numb the area. My injuries were so tender that I jumped up while on the table and when I got off the table, I noticed my left leg was numb and I was dragging it. When I got home, I had to crawl and wondered if he had paralyzed me. I notified a nurse at the National Spine who only said "Oh my". I declined further treatment from the doctor other than medication for the pain, which I did not receive. I was harassed with constant phone recordings for 8 weeks or more to make more appts. Being an RN/MSN, I found Dr. Kendall highly negligent not to communicate with his patient at any time knowing I was just in an accident and then traumatize me with his epidural, left not knowing whether I would regain the use of my left leg without dragging it around. If the staff and doctors cannot communicate, then this is a horrible place to go. If a doctor does have a discussion with a patient who was just in an accident; not order an MRI and does not examine the lumbar area, he should not be practicing as a doctor.

Dr Kendall and his Nurse Practitioner were excellent. They listened very carefully to my concerns, made sure I understood the procedure completely and made sure that I remained as comfortable as possible during the procedure. I have had very bad experiences with previous pain regulating procedures with another doctor and I was understandably concerned when I went to the office for my appointment. Dr Kendall explained his expertise and showed great concern for my comfort. Would I recommend him to family and friends? Absolutely. Will I make sure he is the only doctor I go to for any future procedures? You bet!

"Justin" is a young man in the office, I believe he is a PA, who has been absolutely exceptional all year since I was hospitalized. He has brought out the wheelchair for me when we first came from the hospital. EVERY visit he has been professional, thoughtful and kind. An exceptional young man. Please forward my thanks. Also Dr. Kendall is absolutely the best in the country. He is my hero and has saved my life. I first started coming in with *IDENTIFICATION* pain level and unable to walk or work. I'm now back at work and we have a pain management plan that works. *NAME*

I've been seeing Dr. Kendall for over 10, maybe 15 years. I live very close to the Alexandria Hospital, so close to your Shirlington office. I was disappointed when Dr. Kendall stopped working there, contemplated seeing a different doctor who was convenient. But when it came time to see a doctor, I could not change. It is worth a 30 minute drive (non-rush hour) to see Dr. Kendall!
