I did not go for the visit. It would have been wasted time and effort. At the beginning of my visits Dr Dhannon did not really look at my whole femur. He only llooked at my knee. Even though I tried to tell him about the injury at the top of the femur, he just interrupted me and said that pain had nothing to do with my knee. He didn’t want to hear anything I felt was important. So I quit going!
