I feel as though the themes of my 2020 reviewing are twofold:
1. I'm old.
2. Everything is terrible.
Well, in keeping with that, my body is breaking down. Despite not having played tennis in fifteen years or so, I have tennis elbow. Because I'm old. But everything at NYU's Orthopedic center is not terrible...I thought it was a pretty good experience for a medical facility.
I'm sure your mileage may vary by provider, but my doctor referred me to Dr. Gonzalez-Lomas here, and everything went smoothly.
I called in, and got an appointment the following day. Once I arrived, I was quickly directed to a waiting room, and I was getting my x-rays taken 30 seconds later.
Afterward, I headed upstairs to meet with the doctor, and after confirming my birthdate, they handed me an iPad to enter some info, and I was ushered into my appointment a minute after I was done, on time.
Dr. Gonzalez-Lomas was calm and knowledgable. He ran me through a few questions and examined my arm, and broke down my treatment options in terms of pros and cons, and I really appreciated his patience with my own questions. Hopefully my old and brokendown arm will just be old soon.
In any case, this seems like a well-run facility. Everywhere I went in the building was clean, comfortable, sanitary, and socially distanced. There were minimal waits, and a nice nurse told me that I was skinny. The worst thing that happened was I couldn't understand the x-ray technician's accent, and tried to find a floor that didn't exist.
