The provider was very condescending and rude He talked over me when I spoke and didn’t listen to me on my concerns, he also spoke to me like I was “slow” and generally approached me as such. Usually I’m very patient in these sort of situations but this wasn’t okay. He only ‘sort of’ started being nice when I gave him a small compliment on his name…Honestly, if you want a doctor who will get you secured, this doctors is NOT it. Please see someone else, it’s not worth a waste of time.
