I went to Dr Rather over 2 years ago for back pain. She told me to consider that I just had a baby, take B12, lose some weight and come back in 18 months. I went back, still in pain, she did nothing. I demanded and X-RAY; which I got, it didn’t show anything. She didn’t feel an MRI was necessary. So, I dealt with the pain for another year. Finally my chiropractor ordered an MRI because he was concerned something was wrong. The MRI shows a bulging disc in my lumbar, with sever stress on my spine. A perfectly good reason for my back pain. I knew something was wrong with me. I could feel it. But Dr Rather did not believe me. Her care was terrible. She never followed up. Just terrible. I do believe the stress on my spine do to the bulging disc could have been prevented if Dr Rather would have ordered an MRI when I expressed I was still in pain, even after the XRay showed nothing. Do not go to this doctor.
