Doctor was condescending and dismissive. Felt like she had somewhere better to be. The nurses took a medical history and took x-rays of my issue but the doctor didn’t talk about any of it. The doctor visit would have been 2 minutes long and with zero information given if I haven't had to ask questions to lead through the examination. It's like she made up her mind about my condition outside the room then wouldn't discuss with me about it.
