Upon entering the exam room Dr. Anz introduced himself as Adam. Looked at the MRI and said he didn't see a problem. Upon examination of my hamstring said I had hamstring tendonitis. He said the MRI showed degeneration. Said he would recommendation of eccentric exercise by means of physical therapy. Proceeded to tell me to lose weight. Excused himself from the exam room after telling his assist to explain eccentric exercise. He had not left the exam room long before opening the exam door without knocking and said he had other patients waiting and I needed to leave. A physical therapy order was provided to me by the assistant. I left the office, with tears in my eyes because of his lack compassion. His rude and abrupt ending of the appointment. I have been suffering with this pain for a year and a half before seeing him. After 18 months of PT, and lacked in empathy & encouragement. I am a person not a number.

The entire visit was a great experience from arrival to discharge. Both [...] and Dr Anz were interested in my issues, thoroughly examining my hip and explaining the subsequent PRP Injection. I was made as comfortable as possible. There was an amazing calm demeanor throughout the entire visit.
