Time is important and DR Simpson got right down to business with examination and instructions. She was in and out very quickly. In retrospect, I would have liked to have had just a few more minutes to digest visit and pose questions to her that I occurred after she left exam room. I belive Dr. Simpson is professional, knowledgeable and I have complete faith in her recommended treatment and follow up. I feel fortunant that she is my physician. I only wish she could have spent another few minutes with me so I could intelligently pose questions. Next visit I will try to be more prepared and slow her down a bit. On this line, I am never sure if I should pose questions to an assisant who makes the preliminary exam notes or wait for the Doctor who can respond.
