The provider was polite, but unfortunately, I did not feel very comfortable or heard during my visit. The appointment felt rushed, and I felt like he was impatient and did not take much time to listen to my concerns or thoroughly examine me. I would have appreciated more warmth, communication, and explanation regarding my condition and next steps. Overall, I left feeling like my concerns were not given the attention I expected.
