I have a bone to pick with this clinic. When I was about 10 years old my school reported to my mother that it appeared I had a slight case of scoliosis. We went to the Clearview Clinic for an x-ray/exam, and the old ""doctor"" that worked there (doubt he's still working) had the audacity to suggest to my mother that I was ""perhaps laying sideways during the x-ray"". Basically suggesting that since he couldn't immediately see the curve in my spine-- and I don't know how you could miss it-- that nothing was actually wrong with me. (Why anyone would accuse a little girl of this, I have no clue). Being a kid, I didn't know anything about second opinions was afraid of being falsely accused and humiliated again, so I told my mom maybe we should just drop it. \r

It has been almost 20 years (Yes, I'm still angry) and my back has become worse every single year. I am almost 30 now and fearing I'm going to need some type of surgery by the time I'm forty to deal with the swelling of the muscle on one side of my slightly curved spine. \r

I just had to get that off my chest (back). I'm sure the place is fine now.
