I am having massive knee pain. Dr Kaar doesn't really monitor his staff or make sure things are taken care of. They sent me to PT which is understandable but aggravated my knee more. I was missing work because I falling down and in massive pain. They offered me Motrin for pain. Umm.. you already prescribed Motrin. So why do you think the same dose would make a difference? At least know what you prescribed. So they told me to go to the ER. You would think they would have me come into the office since I am falling down and in massive pain. The ER didn't do anything. They gave me one Motrin. Seriously? Does anyone understand pain management here? Went to urgent care and they gave me a brace which helped reduce the pain. If a doctor doesn't take the condition seriously by managing pain and move the treatment forward then I will go somewhere else.
