December 05, 2012

time spent - while I always feel like the Dr is willing to stay and answer any questions that I have, he only spends a few minutes in the room each time I see him As far as my wound healing (which was part of why I was being seen) I felt that the staff should have been more concerned about it than they were.

Physian had no idea why I was their, nor what my problem was, had to ask me. Was apparent that he did not look at my medical records prior to meeting with me. Should of talked to the Surgen who sent me to him. No confidence in him at all.
