I feel like he doesn't care about how I am doing. I'm having more problems and he acts like I'm lying. My sister even told him about what was going on with me. He wants to blame it on my lungs. I know when it's my lungs and I know when it's my heart.

Great Dr!

Staff at check in needs to be a little less rude. They acted like they didn’t want to be there. First appearance is everything. If I only had to go on what they showed I wouldn’t come back there again. Now the two young ladies at checkout were very polite and helpful. The Doctor was awesome.
