I've never written a negative review in my life, but I was very disappointed in the appointment. The provider could not find my submitted paperwork and spent the entirety of the appointment asking me the questions again, then diagnosed me and prescribed medication immediately without any follow-up questions or listening to my concerns. She prescribed said medication without reviewing the meds I'm already on and when I asked about it I ended up googling the drug interactions myself while she rattled off different options for me to look up. It felt very rushed, very unprofessional, and, frankly, quite dangerous.
