I felt that it was a good visit. The doctor was nice and did answer all of my questions. I only did not like that my Appt is at 12:45 but I am not seen until 2pm. He saw another person before me that came after me, but I assume that's the issue with all doctors by other than that it was good.

Excellent doctor and a pleasant person.
May 26, 2015Brana M.Verified patient
I went to get a check-up and I think he forgot to do the actual check-up. Told him about my sinuses, he had no advice. He kept checking his phone the whole time. He mentioned that I had an enlarged throat (whatever that means) and asked me if I stopped breathing while I was sleep (and I'm like not that I'm aware - I can't really monitor myself while Im sleep!). I had to remind him to take my weight and height. Then he brought in a little cheap scale. He didn't do anything that I remember getting done the last time I had a physical except check my blood pressure! Not to mention the elevators weren't working so I had to walk up 6 flights of stairs only to find out that he was actually in the other wing of the building so I had to go back down 6 flights. Furthermore he took blood samples from me and stated he would call me in a week but I have yet to hear from him.
More than 1 year agoJoshua M.Verified patient
