He barely spent 3 mins examining me and talking with me. He did not spend any time explaining what was wrong with my shoulder. He made assumptions about me which were incorrect and then didn’t listen to my corrections.

I have had several orthopedic surgeries at Northwestern and have been very pleased. He was recommended to me by Dr. Gryzlo who I think very highly of.

I have not had this type of problem before. The doctor mentioned that it could be 'diabetic shoulder.' I have no idea what this means. It would have been helpful to have a nurse practitioner or physical therapist take the time to explain more about my situation or perhaps literature to read. On another matter of concern--in the waiting room for the suite, there is a lovely artwork of cut-out flowers by Julia Barello. The medium is described as 'Laser-cut and died x-ray film, nylon, steel.' This is not my typo--rather than DYED, the film is described as DIED. Given that this label is in a hospital, this is somewhat creepy.
