I wish you had a rating of exceptional, because Dr Otto would receive that rating from me for each of the previous questions. It took about 2 weeks for me to get this initial appointment for Dr Otto to evaluate my condition. I considered myself lucky as I know how it can sometimes take several weeks to see an orthopedic surgeon, especially one as good as Dr Otto.
