Everyone who entered the examining room was very good to me. Thanks.
Dr Pinto was quite good, talks to you, not down to you
It is too early to tell whether this doctor is good or not. However it is outrageous that an appointment book months in advance was canceled and rescheduled for the doctor's convenience. Arriving 15 minutes prior to the appointment as it was requested, I then waited 50 minutes beyond my scheduled appointment time to be seen. During that entire time I had no communications with the staff to explain what was going on. I had to go find staff to ask what was going on. They look like during the headlights and said the doctor must be running late. Thank you sherlock. When I was finally seen, i explained to no uncertain terms to the doctor that this is unacceptable. This is my first experience with University of Chicago medicine. It may be my last.
