Great job explaining my options and what I need done.
Nov-2022
Well, he was 20 minutes late. I sat in the exam room by myself for 20 minutes after his tech was finished with the preliminary exam. Then during the exam his concern for my discomfort was completely absent. No warning for how much discomfort I would be in when he turned my eyelid inside out and prodded with a swab. In fact many hours later my eye still hurts. After his exam tears streamed down my face. I would think offering a tissue to the patient would be standard practice. I eventually wiped the tears with my hand.
Nov-2022
Very thorough and informative, but seemed a little rushed.
