Didn't seem to care about questions or concerns of mine, dismissive, rude, name calling, he seems to think that all of his opinions are right and you must agree with him

We had to come back for a new setting in the same week and I've never felt so devalued before. I felt like we were an imposition and was told point blank that this was not a clinic visit and he had other "sick" patients to see. I didn't realize that we were not considered a person of needs or respect!

I already have suggested my doctor to other people. I'm always bragging about how awesome he is. The doc informs me of options and risks that go along with that. What I want to achieve out of today's meeting. I enjoy our meetings very much. I feel comfortable relaxed easy to talk to. No stress.

I could not have been more pleased with the quality and thoroughness of my visit with Dr. Newman. The timing was _perfect_ (which suggests the arrangement of my visit was prioritized and pushed by people there, thank you), and the additional information helped me commit more confidently to the path laid out by my other providers.
