    Request for further imagining was denied. Provider provided almost no information about injury. Provider did not ask follow up about patient's yes answer to pain question.

      She had very little confidence in what to do. I felt like since she was an APRN since she didn't confidently have the answers about next steps she should have requested a consult from a specialist. Especially since we waited months for the appointment. She just kept saying I don't know and that felt bad since we thought we were seeing a specialist.

      She listened to our concerns and was able to refer us to a pediatric neurologist at UK that we haven't seen yet, who specializes in genetics - we are very grateful for that they accepted us a new patient in Feb. for appt.
