Good first visit. She is taking over for my previous GI Dr. who retired.

She didn’t knock before she came in. She may have reviewed my health history before she came in, but did not review it with me verbally. I feel it is important to review verbally so any voids or discrepancies can be addressed. She also avoided making eye contact.
This isn’t a reflection upon the APN, but the medical assistant who took vitals and entered meds was new, which is fine & I understand there is a learning curve, but the MA couldn’t pronounce
“colonoscopy” which I found to be poor.

I feel she is very competent, but also felt very rushed thru the appointment. That is disappointing after a long wait past scheduled appointment time.
