I brought up pain in my throat and he responded "well that sounds like a lung issue which is outside my expertise. You should talk to your primary about that." He brushed it off like it was nothing. I had to explain it was excruciating pain that I'd been experiencing for 7 days. I understand if he doesn't know how to help me but I was shocked by the lack of empathy and lack of desire to help a sick patient. A doctor that can't do anything for a cough? Can't even take a look at my throat or listen to my lungs? That's extremely disappointing. He treated me like a nuisance wasting his time. His nurse assistant stood there and didn't do anything either. He seemed annoyed with my cough and flatly said I should get tested for Covid (which I did and was negative). I left the appointment crying because I'd never experienced such emotionless care from hospital staff.

the reason for my answer on #4 is the care provider indicated he usually sees patients when they need surgery so, for that I would recommend. I choose to see a doctor because I have a complicated health situation and felt more comfortable with the doctor- but was a little embarrassed to have taken his time.
