The doctor seemed like she was in a rush the whole time. I don’t want to just feel like I’m in there just so she can get paid. Like I said, she was in such a rush. Doctor also said my insurance would cover a certain blood test but lied and now I’m paying out of pocket for what she recommended. Would not go back.
