    It started out fine but after 5 minutes, it was over. It felt like he made up his mind and was ready to end the conversation quickly.

    Spoke way too fast and used only grad level textbook medical jargon. Obviously knew his stuff, but extremely difficult for me, as a normal person, to follow and understand.

    Alex explained everything he was seeing on the xray, possible conditions/causes and possible treatments. He answered all my questions and made me feel very at ease.

    Alex (Pittman) took the time & concern to actually show me the X-ray picture of my shoulder online, as opposed to just telling me the report. That helped me to understand the seriousness of the problem.

    I thought he did a good job and I would return to his practice.

    A. Pittman was a great listener, kind, knowledgeable, gave me great feedback. When I asked if I could get a walking cast instead of the boot, he explained the pros and cons, which I had not thought about, but told me he could put a cast on if that was what I really wanted and that it would also work. I realized that the cons, needing to have It recast several times, as opposed to one boot, were not what I wanted after all. He was so so sincere In letting me know that it was my choice, which a level of respect I was not used to at the Dr.'s office : )

    He was very personable and took time to listen to my problems

    Answered a question that I had asked the nurse upon arrival. Beyond that did not ask if I had questions, tell me what to expect during or post procedure, etc. He interacted with the nurse but not me.
