The PA is ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT. He looked at my past MRI of the spine. He explained to me what I was watching. Usually when I look at a MRI, I have no idea of what I am seeing. He explained it to me. It is already very usual for a doctor to look at the MRI with me. Usually they just tell me the results and skip everything. The doctors are trying to save time. This PA is fantastic. Now I can see and know the condition of my spine. He also explained to me how the surgeon can fix it with surgery. He is wonderful.
