A bit rough and very few words.
Very through.
Agressive
Excellent Thanks Marica Sertic
Best of the best
Excellent doctor very good.
excellent
I wish he would have to finish my full test of my eyes instead come back in a month for the remaining check up
My appointment was at 1:15 and didn’t see the doctor until 2:45. Regardless of what the reason is no one in the office seems to care too much about patients having to wait so long. All I kept getting is “we’ll call you shortly” but not a single word of empathy. Pretty shocking I say. As far as the doctor is concerned nothing bad or good to say, he gave his professional advice after treating me for less than 10 mins when my total visit was more than 1.5 hours.
Very rude, rough doesn’t have good b manners
