Wait was much too long!
He is so knowledgeable and compassionate.
After waiting a hour for him to come in examination room… my mother I Sue Easterly didn’t have her meds with her. She apologized…. He went on to lecture her on why she needed to bring them.. so I got agravated because he didn’t proceed with the exam….Sue had to hold to the bathroom and couldn’t wait any longer! She was there at 7:30 the week before for blood work he didn’t bother to look at the results and move forward with the exam!! We Left. I think he books to close Together we purposely made the appointment early so he wouldn’t run late seeing her like he has done before. Maybe he needs to retire or needs an assistant. We will not be back! He can send the blood work to Doctor Cosse..
