Does your provider rush during your appointment without taking care of your needs?
I know many feel their provider does not take enough time, in office, with them. My neurologist, is one who does give me the time needed.
Great topic,
thanks for bringing it up. Most of my current providers don't currently rush through my appointment. However, that hasn't always been the case. I've been rushed through many appointments much to my dismay and disgust!
Hope today is a low pain day, Nancy Harris Bonk, team member

I was told that if I need a therapist, I should find one. That he is not there for my mental well being only for my neurological health.
My visits last 10 minutes or less., ugh, I'm sorry this has been your experience. It sounds very frustrating to have doctor limit what they're willing to discuss, although I know that you aren't alone. And I would argue that mental health is equally as important as neurological health.

If your doctor isn't willing to discuss mental and emotional health, have you been able to find a different doctor or a therapist (or mental health professional) to help address any additional needs that your current doctor is not meeting? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
