Yes my experience was so nicely and good with that doctor.
Verified patient
I was referred by my virtual provider for an in person evaluation. My concerns were dismissed the entire visit unfortunately and not addressed. Spoke with another provider and my concerns were addressed immediately in a thoughtful manor that included me in decision making thankfully.
