Doctor very familar with my medical problems. We developed an instant repoire on how best to proceed. Diagnostics were scheduled, prior medical record requests were made before I left the office. A long range treatment plan was developed and discussed. I was very pleased with the appointment.
Verified patient
Dr. Jeffrey Mercado is a great listener with sympathy & complete understanding regarding my reason for this visit. Unfortunately after spending hours gathering information on my medical case, then carefully inputting every last detail on ZODOC, much to my dismay, my information was not passed on to my doctor. Nothing was sent to Dr. Mercado. Not one thing. Not happy about that!!!
