May-2024
He was very kind and very friendly. I would have given 5 stars, but my appt was at 1pm and I sat back in the room for close to 40 minutes waiting for the Doctor. Then, at the end, he just kind of abruptly got up and it seemed like my appointment was done. I even said "I guess that's it, we're done"? And he was out in the hallway and said yep. So I guess those few things were frustrating, but overall, he was very kind, friendly, and reassuring that what was going on wasn't cancer or tissue damage from surgery.
