Did well to explain diagnosis and observations in imaging. Professional, friendly, and was willing to talk with me to understand and make informed decisions. Did not quite introduce himself though.

I was not a happy patient! I specifically made an appointment with Dr Roh not dr Norman! Dr Norman rushed into examining room without identifying himself nor stating why I wasn’t seeing the doctor I requested! He asked if I had any questions and I actually had to say “who are you” I was expecting Dr Roh!
