|
08/31/2023 |
Very bad doctor. No greeting or listening to patient. Make patient depressed with limited wording. No response to patient's requests and no sechedule for next test and appointment. This doctor I have to wait for 8 months after my former docotor but so disappointed with the new doctor. In one word, I cannot feel any professional and care from the doctor. If just telling me the number is going down, I can read the lab result myself. |
