I always feel rushed and it’s clear he doesn’t review the records before meeting with you as I got yet another “nice to meet you”. I find he can be rather short with answers and doesn’t seem to genuinely care if I am well or not, just trying to see what I want so he can leave. I’ve asked to switch several times and keep getting told to try him again. I would rather leave CIS than see him again. The NP was so nice, I was hoping to see her again.

Dr Nugent, is very knowledgeable & attentive to your concerns. Always ask the right questions before you even tell him what’s wrong or happening at the time. I’m really glad I chose him.
