He charted that I was given exercises. I wasn't and ever have been. He told me that he had recommended cervical surgery at the last visit. He hadn't. There, I don't have trust him.

Didn't spend 5 minutes with me. Only mentioned treatment options at first visit. Didn't fully explain.Has a "doesn't care" attitude. I thought Doctors tell the patient what they can do to help the patient, instead of asking the patient what they want him to do!
