- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/21/2023
The provider did address my concerns and explained the procedure to me, but it did seem like he was a bit rushed for time. I understand that's probably because he has so many visits that he has to complete in a day, and some of that is probably out of his control, but I'm wondering if he may be able to limit the number of patients he sees in a day, and then he could provide patients with more time for their visits.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/19/2023
