“I’m trained as an EMT, so I probably have a higher level of expectation than most patients. My pain tolerance is off the scale, so if I’m at the emergency room, it is because I’m in excruciating pain. I truly believe that the attending doctor determined my treatment prior to entering the examining room. He prescribed 600 mg of ibuprofen. In my experience, M&M’s are just as effective. In marked contrast, Dr. Mogk took a reasonable amount of time to understand my pain issues and did a focused examination. She reported what she observed on the X-rays and recommended a comprehensive treatment plan, which includes physical therapy. I walked out of the building feeling optimistic that with Dr. Mogk’s care I am on the road to recovery. To say that my visit with Dr. Mogk exceeded my expectations would be a substantial understatement.”
