Find a doc focused on your needs

[Guest guest]

Last week I went to a doctor that did more for me in 5 minutes that

all the doctors I have seen in 5 years. She is a Rehabilitation/physiatrist

whose main goal is to make the quality of

my life better.

I have balance issues as I am also blessed with Meniere's disease. She watched

me walk for about 30 seconds and pointed that if I walk with my right heel

landing first -- my right leg is stronger -- my balance would improve. Was she

right!

I will be seeing her again in March after 4 weeks of water PT to further assess

my needs. The operative word here is " needs " , not nerves, not neural velocities,

not spinal stenosis -- just what will make my life easier.

I guess my message here is find a doctor that is focused on your

needs, and not just focused on your disease process.
