Very curt demeanor and interrupting made it difficult to communicate. Felt rushed, rude, and dissmissive.

This provider was extremely unprofessional. She did not listen to my concerns or take my questions seriously. I wanted to know why certain allergy tests weren't offered by another awful allergist I was seeing and she questioned me back. First of all, this is my care not yours. Secondly, if a patient asks you why, that shows they are engaged and advocating for their treatment you're being paid to assist them with. I'm tired of providers acting like they know it all and aren't willing to set their egos aside and admit that some patients do research and learn what's up to date. Most providers don't have to continue educating themselves or learning new things. That's not helpful for anyone. Every single person and medical situation isn't the same.
