      Dr. Kamineni and Josh spent considerable time with me discussing X-rays and MRI. Their concern and knowledge was Impressive. And have relayed that positive to many here In Richmond. I left with 3 choices to consider. Dr Kamineni told me he was there If I needed him. I'm so glad I made the trip to UK clinic. They answered many questions that have been on my mind for probably a year.

      I was a new patient to this doctor and I was more impressed with the amount of time he spent with me explaining different options with me than I have been with any other doctor,ever. My shoulder and arm are a mess with a torn rotator cuff and torn tendons after already 2 previous surgeries several years ago. I very much appreciate him and his kindness when answering my questions back to back

      My main concern was with the surgery at Good Sam. Truly lousy stitches that seem like they will be ugly scars. And then send me home from surgery with a size L sling when I am a size S person. Difficult to manage for me and wasteful for the hospital bc I have to get another one later.

      The pain of the cortisone injection into my shoulder was unbearable. I passed out. The only people in the room for the procedure was the Dr, his student and myself. When I told them I needed a wet cloth and I was getting very hot, they did nothing to help me but continued with the procedure. The Dr was describing, triangulating the cortisone/steroid around the area of the tendon when I realized I was going to pass out and they still hadn't responded to my request for a wet cloth that I felt like could get me thru the procedure. The last thing I remember was the student Dr asking me, are you still with us? After that I came around on the exam table with an older gentleman there with a cup of water for me. No nurse was present during the procedure. This didn't seem very professional to me as a nurse monitoring the patient could have made a difference in my getting the entire vial of medicine in my shoulder rather than half. The referred pain around the injection area is still noticeable 3 days later.

      I was not told I would need X-rays prior to seeing provider. I waited on X-ray for at least 45 minutes. I know the schedulers don't know if a patient needs X-ray but the clinic should call and let patients know so they can plan accordingly. I work for UK Healthcare and had only taken 2 hours off from work and I was actually gone just over 3 hours. Had I known I needed X-rays I would have arrived 30 min before apt time.
