Literally I have seen him three times and each time it’s like he doesn’t know why I’m there. From scheduling appointments (which were scheduled wrong) to the time spent discussing was not worth it. I went in for discomfort after starting medication while I’m going thru cancer treatment and each time it was like new information. Got scheduled for a procedure he recommended and despite following the discharge instructions was just redirected all over the place. My results??? Not even discussed just told I would need another referral to another doctor … and the best was when I asked about the side of effect of the procedure he told me “there is nothing I can do for you for that” and just told me to have a good day.
Yeah, I will. He’s very dismissive and seems like he has better things. I’ve never ever filled out a review before because it’s “never been that bad” but to have symptoms dismissed after a procedure he recommended and then being ignored … I would love my records

I took an old problem to a new doctor and Dr McLynn listened and saw issues I had not been told before and connected my problems to future steps to resolve them through more testing
