This was my initial visit, so will reserve my opinion until I have had more experience. Was disappointed that Dr. had not reviewed any of my past records to be more knowledgeable about my circumstances. Appointment iasted not more than 15 minutes. Dr. never checked me physically (listened to heart,etc.).. Waited over 2 hours for this.
