Every time I come for a check-up regarding my kidney transplant I see a new doctor. After waiting for over an hour I saw a doctor who I'd never seen before. He was very brief, he didn't take the time to answer my questions, and he didn't seem interested at all in anything pertaining to my visit or care.

February 18, 2013

Everyone shows the utmost professionalism and treats you as if you are their only patient. They spent time with you.

They gave me good information regarding the rejection medication that I did not know about which was very important to me. On my own medication that I am taking now I don't think she understood that I let my doctors know of any changes that I made.

I don't feel the doctor listened to my problem.
