    Realized what I was asking for when I called for the appointment. I only went to BRO to get a soft tissue scan. When I called, I indicated that I was told to go there for an Ultrasound, and asked if I could get that there (and was told YES). I brought my own Xrays, but was told we needed to take new ones there... although I knew going in there was no skeletal damage, and was looking for ligament or tendon damage and solutions. Everyone was nice, the building was nice, but I don't feel like enough condiseration was given to why I was there?

    I wish Blue Ridge had not joined with Prisma. Prisma AKA Greenville Health system has messed me up so bad with my shoulder, back, and women's health -- My shoulder has been irreparable and frequently causes excruciating pain because of the neglect and refusal to recognize there was something wrong with it; My back was never treated, only pain pills were pushed which I refused; and the urology department misdiagnosed me in 2016 and them and the GYN performed on unnecessary surgery that completely dismissed the issue and I have not been able to have intercourse with my husband for 10 years now because of the teaching college idiocy thinking they always know better than the patient!! -- And they gave me a narcotic pain medicine when I told them I did not want any, but they lied to me and gave me a reclassified narcotic!! I like Dr Mills And trust his professionalism and experience and the way he takes time to explain and listen..., but it sucks that he is part of Prisma now, which I do not trust.

    I got the impression that what was wrong with my right knee was my fault and nothing could be done.

    Dr. Mills and his team have always been great, they listen and answer your questions and spend a lot of time with you. They don't come any better than Dr. James Mills, great Doctor and friend!!!!

    I got a copy of my records with the receipt, and there are some errors in those records. Not like a really big deal, but it does, I mean, it's enough that makes you wonder about, you know, how much information they have about you, if what they have is not necessarily accurate. I know that there's something that I can do to go about going to my chart and getting that changed and fixed and that kind of thing. But I was just surprised to find that it was not complete. So just wanted to let you know that. Thank you.

    Allowed more than one or two joints to be examined per visit -- it's a long drive in an old, unreliable vehicle for me!

    I was treated with respect and concern. Dr Mills also provided 2 options for treatment and allowed me to choose.
