October 1, 2025Brian L.Verified patient
it was great, in and was seen within 2 min. he asked what was wrong, was very fast , my only problem was he didn't explain what he was doing, he asked if I could hear better, I said yes, and he was walking out, I said hey what do I do, when should I come back, he said in a year, as he was walking to the next room, maybe I'm being too sensitive, but I think he should have been a little more informative about what was done and why.
