He seemed very competent but very rushed. I would like to have asked some questions but the visit ended very quickly.

The doctor seemed nice; He was pleasant with a smile on his face; Actually, he and his assistant Lilly were the only pleasant people I met in the clinic! It was a surgery day so he was rushing. I understood, but it was my first time meeting him and would have loved to get more acquainted with him! I couldn’t ask many questions because I felt too rushed and couldn’t think fast enough. I don’t think he even asked if I had any questions. Otherwise, he appears to be nice.

He seemed to be very knowledgeable, but I literally only saw him for maybe 5 minutes. I was told he was running behind, so I guess he was in a hurry to make up time. I was disappointed that I didn’t get more time with him to ask questions and to hear about my options.
