Princeton Orthopaedic Associates Pa

Essentially they were VERY ACCOMODATING to drop their standard steps in having several levels of personnel interview me about my issues before seeing the doctor. I wanted to see the doctor directly as the symptoms had clearly changed over the past 2 years. But, after the first interview by a Medical Assistant and then an attempt by a PA to repeat an interview, I simply stated that I wanted to see the doctor and not have to repeat my issues as I thought I would leave things out for the doctor. Also, I did not want to do the usual 3-4 weeks of physical therapy without an MRI. The PA, probably per insurance regulations, also wanted to do an XRay which I knew and the doctor subsequently agreed would not reveal anything that would help(as there was no "event" and nothing was broken). So I had to simply but politely state to the PA that I wanted to see the Doctor only and wanted an MRI to get right to my (new and mysterious) painful new problems. So RESPONSIVELY, COOPERATIVELY, I did next… see the Doctor Nazarian who examined me for nerve sensitivities, LISTENED to my reasoning(old PT doesn't work) and agreed àn XRAYwouldn't reveal useful info and so then rapidly and correctly then referred me to their physiatrist (think flesh vs. bone doctor). Their Physiatrist, doctor Mizrachi, subsequently met with me. He had already been informed of my case by Dr. Nazarian and I again stated my old PT exercises were making me worse as something had changed and there was no event and so he rapidly checked me out and and wrote a prescription for an MRI to get at what had changed for me. SO, BIG THANK TO BOTH DOCTORS and everybody for their responsiveness and teamwork BIG TIME. The MRI is now done so we have the data to direct my treatment and stop my old Physical Therapy routine that was actually making things worse.
