This was the first time seeing this dr. This dr didn’t listen to me and was inattentive. She wouldn’t explain things to me. She made me feel like I was a bother. Also, why did I have to wear a mask and other protective wear to see this dr?

She gets right down to business , asks questions and makes changes to medications if she has to. Everything she does is very professional.
