Dr. Matthew Douglass Longacre, MD

I have had two appointments with Dr. Longacre for problems related to my knee. On both occasions, he never came into the examination room to see me while I was there. Instead, his Physician's Assistant tended to me. She gave me a cortisone shot in my knee and told me to come back in six weeks. The injection did not work. I called the office a few days later to make an appointment asap - and ended up back in the office the next day.Although I told the receptionist I specifically wanted Dr. Longacre to examine me, one again I never saw him. His assistant came in the room to talk to me. She ordered an MRI, physical therapy, and a series of SynVisc injections. I left without ever seeing the doctor. I was just astounded by this. Is this common practice with HMO doctors now?Thank you.

Excellent Dr. He knows what he is doing, for sure. He fixed me after a bad car accident and had me up in minimal time required. He's a blessing.
