He didn't take much time to try to figure out my eye problem (dry eyes?). Just told me it wasn't something he dealt with. He got defensive when I asked him a question. Very hard to talk to. He did, however, prescribe an ointment to put in my eyes, but didn't explain why he prescribed it. He said I should have a test for Sjogren's, but didn't refer me to a doctor who could do this. Not satisfied with his care. (The woman who gave me several eye tests was great!)
