She would rather ask a set of pre-fixed questions and would not let patients share their main signs and symptoms. Her assistant was better in paying attention. Dr B lacked bed side manners, empathy and professionalism. We do understand that physicians are rushed to complete the visit in a certain amount of time. However, she did not make any effort to diagnose the patient properly. We visited her to get a second opinion. She seemed to be pretty convinced about the prior diagnosis and was just focused on the computer screen to complete her forms/tasks. We were highly disappointed. Not going to see her or recommend her.

0kay . . . so I debated for a while about doing this review . . . I mean who really wants to hear…read moreabout my colonoscopy? But then I decided you're going to hear about it anyway. So with the pandemic and all, alongside my own procrastination, I scheduled first colonoscopy about half a decade later than I probably should have. Not so much because of the nature of the procedure itself. I've had much more awkward procedures. (I chose not to review my kidney stone removal.) It was simply my lead feet and resistance in accepting I've reached "that age". That being said, it was all pretty innocuous. The post procedure was easy enough. Drink some (not so terrible tasting) stuff the evening before followed by lots of clear liquids. (I'm purposely skipping some important details here.) Then repeat in the morning. The procedure itself was pretty unmemorable as well, literally and figuratively. The last thing I remember was hoping the anesthesia works and the next thing was someone asking if I wanted a Coke to drink. (Skipping some details of the results . . . . for your benefit, but there was nothing bad, just the usual I guess.) Overall it was a "good \_ 0_/ experience" and I have nothnegative to say about it. I do apologize fore the images I included with the review, although I thought they were hilarious at the time . . . . and the only other photos I have are the ones they gave me of the procedure and I don't think anyone wants to see those.

When I go to the Doctors I normally go by referrals but I needed to go and felt like I could not wait for one. I let my fingers do the walking (yellow pages) But no I found this place on the care first website. The Nurse that I had on the first day was pretty amazing. She was so funny! She complimented me on my eyelashes and was confused on if they were real because they looked so good. The scheduling to get things done were pretty quick too. I appreciated the timely matters because I felt like the rest of the world stopped because of the Corona Virus. I got an Endoscopy done the following week and that procedure went pretty well. Unfortunately I can no longer have Gluten, Red meat or Dairy. I am still waiting for the nutritionist to call me but rather than that everything went well. I was sick last week, I called and got a chance to speak with a nurse immediately. She was able to prescribe me medicine over the counter

I got my Primary Care office to send one over within an hour and they never bothered to check it. When I got to the appt, they 1) misgendered me and 2) told me the referral "doesn't work" because it's missing information they never asked for. They had almost an entire day to contact my Primary Care office to ask for the referral to be fixed but because of pure laziness they chose to waste my time. What's worse, is after they told me the referral won't be accepted they said "we have a 15 minute grace period..." like I was going to be able to get my Primary Care office on the phone and a new referral sent over in under 15 minutes. That's asinine. The receptionist was flat out heartless.
