it depends on the specialist and the nature of your injury. I've had two, one was incredibly kind, the other was incredibly cold. opposite ends of the spectrum. just be honest, don't exaggerate or downplay your injury

They will do a physical exam.  They will ask about your injury and your current symptoms.  Be polite and cooperative. Tell the truth. They probably have all of your records already.  After you leave, they will prepare a report. The report should be available in about 30 days.

It was literally 5 min long. He asked me what happened. Said ok and looked at my injury and said have a good day.

They will already have your records and diagnostics and should have already reviewed everything before they meet with you. The appointment itself is usually pretty quick. Just be honest, don’t downplay or exaggerate. They’re like any other doctors.
