              I feel that he is stuck in his ways and what he says is completely different to my PCPs. He has ignored some of my concerns and really pushed me to get back to work and driving a lot sooner than I felt ready to do so.

              They understood why I was there, did not try to multitask on the computer while I spoke, validated my concerns, and believed me when I provided my history. All staff were empathetic and respectful. They also did not try to discredit out of network providers that improve my quality of life.
