I left my first appointment with this doctor genuinely disappointed.
I made the appointment because I was looking for a new PCP who would actually listen to my concerns and take a different approach to my care. I came prepared with my medical history, medications, and questions because I was hopeful about getting guidance and finally feeling heard.
Instead, I felt rushed through the appointment. The doctor was pleasant, but there wasn't much interest in hearing my history or understanding what I needed. The visit felt like a repeat of the experience I was trying to leave behind.
I understand doctors have limited time, but an initial visit should allow enough time to listen and understand the patient--especially when someone is coming in with specific concerns and looking for a new direction in their healthcare.
The office staff were incredibly kind and compassionate, and I truly appreciated them.
For me, bedside manner and feeling heard matter. I came looking for care and guidance, and unfortunately, I left feeling unheard and unsure whether I want to return. read more
