    He talked at me not to me. Barely addressed the MRI. Ask me no questions about how the quality of my life is affected by my arthritis. Told me basically that this is an aging problem, just lumping me with all older adults not knowing or asking anything about me. Told me to go live my life. [redacted]

    This is the first time I saw Dr. Bessey and he was very good at explaining what he saw on the MRI and the different choices I needed to make going forward, and he answered all the questions that I asked him, and was more than courteous and professional. If I need further assistance from him, I will make another appointment.

    I was overall impressed with the cleanliness of the doctor's office, the staff, the nurse, and Dr. Bessey. I was also very, very impressed with how he was able to explain the MRI as if I was an eighth grader with zero medical knowledge. I was very, very thankful for that.

    I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Bessey, and it was a very positive experience. He recommended a spinal fusion and took the time to clearly explain the reasoning behind it, as well as what to expect from the procedure. He was professional, respectful, and thorough in answering all of my questions. Dr. Bessey's kind and personable manner helped put me at ease, and I felt that he genuinely cared about my concerns. I left the appointment feeling informed and confident in the care he provides. Highly recommend.
