Verified patient
I felt kind of rushed, and maybe I took Dr. Okoro in a bad way having to wait 15 minutes. I was looking for a diagnosis that was not read off a piece of paper, and more like a dialogue. I had confidence that Dr. Okoro would provide me a dialogue, there just was not enough time, or I did not feel there was time. I guess I'm looking for something very specific and this just was not it.
