Dr. Eugene Gibilaro, MD is triple Board Certified in American Board of Internal Medicine, Critical Care Medicine (Internal Medicine), and Pulmonary Disease (Internal Medicine). He is also an active member of the American College of Chest Physicians.
He told me that for healthy young individuals a full checkup is not necessary, and since my primary motive for the appointment was filling out a school form (it was, but I was hoping to have a full checkup as well since it's been over three years since I've had one), I could leave. And I did. The wait was 1.5 hours for 3 minutes of the doctor's time. I showed up about 8 minutes before my appointment.
