This is not the place to go to get understanding of your medical problems as he only listens to what he wants to hear and does not understand what is going on with yourself as a patient and the office staff out front is inexperienced but effective for the most part. I have been in absolute miserly for 3 days because I could not get a refill. His nurse would not listen that it was not my fault that I ran out of my pills. I called in on a friday and explained what to do for my new sciatica that has reared its ugly head and he instructed me to take more pills. While this ran me out early, I am now on nothing and suffering because he can't understand how taking more pills at his instructions can run me out of the pills early. If this is what we baby boomers have to treat us, we are in deep trouble!
