    I was surprised that I wasn't asked if I had any questions. I was also surprised that I wasn't given any recommendations about whether I could continue current activities, or whether I should wear a brace or not. I had to ask (wasn't told) what would happen if the test results were positive (surgery).

    Had a great first visit overall with Dr. Sampson. Efficient, pleasant, and helpful. He was extremely kind, seemed very interested in my problem, and I got diagnostic imaging and a steroid injection on the first visit. The only thing that could have been better would have been more discussion of what might have been causing my symptoms. There was mention of one diagnosis sort of indirectly, that I then went home and read about. But almost no discussion of: these are the main possibilities, here's how we're going to figure out out, and here are some possible treatment plans we may get to. Still, I got a 4 week follow up visit which is great, so that info may come at the next visit.
