      Very great doctor! I have lived with this condition for years now and this made my 6th doctor over this condition. He took his time with me and actually listened to me and figured out what was wrong with me. I felt so relieved to finally be listened to and not treated like I was crazy. He is a respectful doctor and I am glad to have met him.

      Dr. Kamineni was very thorough in his examination and spent ample time explaining what he suspected the problem might be. I really appreciated that.

      As I mention in previous comments box. I still surprised what kind of visit it was. If this is the quality of treatment provided to people having health insurance then it is better to use home remedy instead of such treatments.

      I really liked his caring personality but I did not like what was recommended for treatment due to the fact that I had said my arm could not be fully extended in the MRI due to the pain the injury was causing and yet--I was prescribed a splint that recreated this same condition --extend the arm and keep It In place with a splint and keep it secured through the night. At 2am I couldnt sleep due to how this was making my arm feel. I took it off and pain shot up my arm. Last night I could not sleep due to worse pain after this episode. The MRI results, though fuzzy, were not taken seriously enough but they did order a nerve conduction test. I have yet to hear from someone to schedule this but I really hope it happens soon. Its been 3 months now since I first began seeking treatment and still no answers or substantive treatment for this work related injury.
