She’s a wonderful Doctor with EMPATHY! ( she doesn’t have to Broadcast it, it comes through in the discussion ) I was totally surprised on my

second visit that she actually paid attention to me on my first visit..( first Doctor I’ve ever had that actually paid attention) Her company was hired to monitor and manage my pain. (From the hospital to PT rehabilitation and after my release) My physical condition was and is worse than ever. I had seven surgeries on the same knee and three of which were revisions just in the past twelve months. My pain is REAL! I can’t stomach certain medical professionals that act like I shouldn’t be in pain, really? If only one of these professionals had experienced the amount of pain brought on by being surgically dissected seven times in twelve months I might have given them some consideration, but they haven’t. I THANK Dr Sandee J. Bristow for her understanding, Empathy and Compassion. There is absolutely NO doubt I would give her 5 STARS for helping get through this difficult time in my life. She ROCKS! Thanks, Doctor and Mercy Hospital Professional Building Staff.
