Patient Reviews
Sep 18, 2024
Since the covid pandemic I have lost hope for the medical field as whole.I felt like noone really cared anymore.However, I was very very impressed with the information the Dr. Walked into the room knowing about my specific situation. When I say he looked over records he knew about hospital stays, reactions to medicines, the whole nine yards. He didn't just throw a diagnosis at me he took the information he had, test results etc and asked me questions to pin point a huge contribute to my problem. Constant eye contact while breaking it down so that I would understand and a promise to adjust anything as needed. I felt heard, understood, and not thrown under the bus this morning. Thankful my primary Dr. Sent me here!
