    Every medical person was personable, respectful, focused on my presentation as patient. Dr. Padavan was thorough in exam, listened well, considered my information as to development of problem, and discussed next steps w/inference to diagnosis & treatment. MRI is next (10/01/25) then another visit. His suggestions re: supplements, at home suggestions and shoe suggestions, is very welcomed.
