The wait time was absolutely crazy. I waited about 1 hour 40 min after my appointment time. Saw the doctor for two min and had no personality was not very personable. I feel like he could of asked more questions and dug a little deeper.

It was fine. I just believe it's a little early to rate. One visit just isn't enough.

All together it took me 2 and a half hours just to get in and see the Dr. Of all that time I probably spent less than 8 minutes with him one on one while I tried to rush through my medical history and explain to him what was wrong with me. Don't get me wrong he's an understanding doctor and very kind however his time is very limited. When you book appointments with his office, I would just call ahead and see if there are running behind and if you need to reschedule.
