he was good

December 14, 2019

very good

December 11, 2019

It was an unsettling first visit in trying to establish a new primary care doctor. I would expect some general questions to be asked about my overall health. The doctor only addressed issues after asking me "What's on your mind today". I felt that I had to present the doctor with concerns, rather than him asking questions that might be important. He seemed smugly confident, and perhaps he's a good doctor once symptoms have been presented to him. It all made me feel uncomfortable [...]

August 14, 2019

Doctor asked if I had any questions/concerns, listened and responded with guidance. However I would appreciate if doctor proactively asked questions relative to a person my age and provided recommendations or suggested actions to help me stay on track for a healthy lifestyle. [...] Burden is on the patient to raise points that may require attention/action.
