I had a really good visit with Dr. Dolinar, I felt as though he was interested in what I had to say, he reviewed the information in my chart and checked with the prior doctor's office. I really like that the office is closer to where I live, the office itself is just beautiful, and the staff is very friendly.

Think it went pretty good. Doctor got off subject a few times but still very professional and courteous
Awful. I arrived 15 minutes before my scheduled time since the office staffed called me to instruct me to do so, and I still had to wait over 30 minutes. The doctors assistant was not friendly. The doctor was clearly rushing. When he asked me questions, he would interrupt my answers because he could not keep up with my responses. I inquired about tests he had ordered, yet I did not receive any explanations. I asked about medications I knew could relieve symptoms. He told me to tough it out. I wasted 2.5 hrs. as I now need to find yet another doctor to help me. Very poor bedside manner. Would not recommend.

Skill set mostly consistent with those in his field. Not familiar with how fertility issues overlap with endicronoly. Bedside manner poor.
