There wasn't enough time to say everything. I felt rushed and is if the doctor just didn't really listen or examine me thoroughly. How can you listen to a patient and attend to them, properly diagnose them in 10 minutes.

The appointment was easier to make then attempting a call. Zocdoc was so easy to use, enter what insurance I had and what I was looking for and it gave me a good list of providers to take my insurance. The office I have been to before but this time different Dr. Way better experience then last time. He asked me questions and actually listened and gave feedback I could understand. If I had the same experience my first time there the previous year I wasn't going back. Now that I was seen by someone who actually cares and took a few mins vs 30 seconds with me it changed my opinion on this office.
