Patient Satisfaction

How likely are you to recommend Dr. Oates?
I think I would prefer a woman doctor. He’s a nice man very book smart, and knows his stuff. I prefer someone who will explain better than he does, and someone who has more empathy and kindness. Appointments are hard to get, the staff is very friendly, he is busy and crams most of his time into on Monday for patients. Big hospitals make it difficult for patients and he fits image of a doctor in a big hospital. Good guy, smart guy, but bad bedside manner.
