Seemed pressured to go on to next patient. Last year he was more relaxed.

1) I waited nearly 90 minutes for my appointment. 2) He didn't listen well and kept asking me the same questions. 3) I explained who I needed to see to the front desk when I scheduled the appointment and it was for a different doctor. I waited weeks and weeks for this appointment which felt pretty much like a waste of time.
