The doctor was polite but seemed confused as to why I was there, he asked if I was there just to get a note for work, that was not the case. I was complaining of sinus pressure:congestion, sore throat, ear pain and headache. He checked my lungs, they were good, he pressed on my sinuses. Two things I thought he may want to check was my throat, nose and ears to make sure I didn't have a an infection of some type. I do think he took care of me and some of the things he said made sense. However, seemed to ignore some of my symptoms, maybe because he thought I was just trying to get a note for work? A note I did not ask for at anytime during the visit.I ended up having to go back to the doctor a couple days later to be checked again because I was getting worse. That doctor did check all of the symptoms and suggested medication to help.I will continue to go to Greenwood in the future, I do like the office overall. I've had three visits there, the first was amazing, the second was good and the latest was just ok. I will give it another chance.

He opened the door to the exam room I was in (i had been waiting for 20 minutes in the exam room) and he said he accidentally came to the wrong room and stayed for a minute and asked me if I wanted to just tell him really quick what was going on or if I wanted to reschedule. I have been waiting to be seen for at least a month and it wasn't a good feeling to have him be the first doctor I've seen in over a year. He rushed through my appointment to get me out of there. The only good thing he did was referred me to get my lungs and tailbone checked.

Realize that what I was seen for may not have been PCP but I could have just been referred if the provider felt that way, I felt so rushed, uninterested in my concern then when asking about alternate treatment it wasn't a point of discussion. My appointment seemed like an inconvenience to the provider.

He was okay and seemed like he was knowledgeable about the problem; but he also made me feel uncomfortable by making comments about some of my personal items and clothing. He also didn't seem to like that I wasn't interested in taking over the counter pain killers long term and made a comment that I would be a funny patient as a result.

provider was very dismissive of my concerns and when I asked to have a discussion about possibly being referred to a specialist he essentially told me that he could tell I wasn't going to be happy with anything he said and that he'd put in a referral so a specialist could tell me I was fine. I communicated to him that I was simply trying to discuss my concerns with him and wanted to have a conversation but he refused and was only willing to put in a referral.
