Was abrupt with exam. Talked down to me when reporting his findings. Ignored my questions. Appeared eager to leave room. I wonder if he interacted with me this way because of my age (83) or if he was impatient about seeing me. As an actively employed nurse with an MSN the experience was unpleasant and insulting. I have seen this doctor before with postive experiences.
