Get a real doctor that knows medical issues and that can real answers. If he doesn't know he can give you information to where you can find a doctor that knows your issues.That can help you with your situation.

I have found that depending on what Prisma office you are in, the staff doesn't take your blood pressure. I believe Prisma is missing the mark in this area. A set of vitals should be a standard of care. The staff might find a patient with hypertension/hypotension, and irregular pulse. I write this as an in general finding not on my visit yesterday.

I definitely felt I had been heard and was grateful for fitting me in , I was so hurting and would have had to go to the ER where I was not known. Now I can wait for surgery and and not be in agony because Dr Peelle ordered Rxs that have greatly improved my condition.

I wish the doctor had gone into more detail about the results of my MRI and why I experience the pain I have.
