Dr Hess seems to have a lot on her mind. Not sure she reads my chart before entering exam room, and while very friendly, don't feel she a very strong personal connection to me or my medical history/concerns. May be expecting too much as this was only my 3rd visit (over the last year).

Didn't really discuss any treatments for anything. Appt was for an annual physical. But we did have a casual conversation which I recognized as a good check for my current mental/emotional state during this pandemic. So I thought it was a useful conversation.

Dr. Rachel Hess cares so little about me it is humorous. I have seen her now about 4 years. after this last appointment I am finding a new primary care doctor. She came in, sat down, asked me what I wanted. She addressed all of my issues except I might as well have been purchasing a piece of furniture. she does not know how to use the computer program and talked to it and fussed with it more than she did me. for all of your concern over history and asking questions, she, nor the nurse, never read my history nor asked me any questions about iANYTHING. I know she only sees patients once a week. but that is more than enough for her. i asked her what her research is about. she replied something about wellness. thats a joke.
