While he didn't actually tell me I have carpal tunnel, I think it was fairly cut and dry thats what it is. He is treating me for it. I got the impression this is fairly routine for him in that he sees a lot of this.

The doctor confused my treatment with another patients so it was a bit confusing. It was as if he didn't look at my previous history with him. I told him that I hadn't had any sort of injection and he said he was confusing me with his previous patient. Didn't feel like he was really there with me for my assessment and future treatment. Left feeling like I didn't really have a solid appointment and to comeback in three months and see where I'm at.

He seemed defensive and not concerned for my needs. He seems angry and so the discussion was awkward. I left upset and confused.

Dr. Raven was wonderful. He explained everything iIn detail! I do like his approach and taking things a little slower when it comes to physical therapy! Possible injections and then maybe moving forward with surgery later
