I saw Dr Robichaux for a knee pain. I had x-rays done and an injection. The injection eliminated the pain for about 5 days. I went back and had an MRI in the facility. I was told within an hour that I needed a partial knee replacement. My surgery has been scheduled for 2 wks. I was told an overnight or two would be recommended. I felt very informed when I left. I am hopeful for a full recovery.

Terrible bedside manner! He acted like I was wasting his time. He did not ask about my medical history or accident history. I waited in the room 45 minutes to be evaluated for a DVT and he came in squeezed my leg, told me I didn't have a DVT and to take Advil. Then he left. He was in the exam room less than 2 minutes.
