Dr. Inclan took the time to explain what was going on, a potential diagnosis, and treatments, based on MRI that he ordered. It was also scheduled very quickly!

Once he remembered he had not come in the room he talked mostly about himself. He seemed to have not studied my films at all. He actually asked if I had any which is absurd since the staff had uploaded them and he tried to act like he had seen me when I went searching for someone to assist me after 50 minutes. Then he tried blaming the system for erasing by name and that's how I got lost. Would have thought he could have at least studied my case a little. This was probably the worst medical experience I have ever had.
