When I went in for first time he sat with me and let me cry and explained what is happening ... Exercise is a must with dr. Worster... He wants us to stay safe though. If I get tired .. Then rest. He has given me back some of my youth by his doctoring that arthritis has stole from me. Favorite dr ever!!!
