  Please note, the fellow did a great job. Dr. Harned never spoke to me before or after procedure. During procedure, it was strictly business and he only spoke once I was on the table, telling me when I would feel something, etc. I did not feel comfortable enough to speak up about my fears or concerns, i.e, the pressure I was feeling in my neck vessels and how scary it was, whether that was normal, the pain and tendernes I've been feeling since procedure but not feeling comfortable enough to call my doctor to discuss.

  Very kind yet efficient. No time wasted, while not feeling rushed or pushed through a process. Understanding that the injection is not pleasant, but also that it is important to do it with precision. Considerate in introducing staff and explaining everything that is happening.
