The doctor genuinely cares about the patient’s health. She took enough time to examine and asks questions about the past to know my health better. I did not feel rushed. I was treated as a person and not patient No. x. I liked her advice of how to improve the health via exercise, eating the right food and use medicine only if that does not work. Throughout the exam, she was polite. She explained the things clearly. She has good bedside manners.
