Do not book with this doctor. He does not listen and will just scare you with names of diseases.

I felt like his bedside manner was weird. He repeated himself frequently and the advice he gave came across a little judgey or condescending. Like yes I know that I should wear a seatbelt lol. The seatbelt comment was brought up under a whole laundry list of generic recommendations they had for very common sense items and were not particular to me or my history (I wear seatbelts and he even asked me beforehand...).
I have a women's health diagnosis and he seemed to know almost nothing about this diagnosis. It is very common (1 in 10) and affects the whole body. Definitely was not up to date on the literature or how this affects other organ systems. I was correcting him when he got facts wrong.
Also some weird recommendation choices, like I told him I notice I'm fatigued if I don't take Vitamin D regularly and he suggested an MRI amongst some other tests that don't make sense for mild fatigue. Huh???

I was told that I have a serious virus condition and I feel the news was devastating but other than the doctor trying to a new medicine for it, I didn't get a lot of clarity or empathy.
When you hear any such news, you expect empathy or understanding from your doctor and I didn't get either, I was fogged in the head and trying my best to ask questions of what should I do.
Other than being told my medication prescribtion has been sent to the pharmacy, I got no info on resting or any other things I can do to feel better. No words of affirmation or anything to feel that path to recovery will be manageable.
I won't be visiting again, last thing I want is unsympathetic treatment when I am being told I am terribly sick

I was late to my next appointment because I didn’t account for a Dr. who wants to chat and provide the best service available. I’m used to being pushed out of the office as quick as possible to facilitate rapid turnover.
