"It was a great visit but I wish she would have slowed down a bit. Already recommended her to others"

"Felt like my visit with this doctor was very rushed. Her demeanor was very scripted, like she gives the same speech to every patient. I specifically told her I wanted to lose weight in order to get off my current medications and she suggested putting me on even more medications! I felt like she wasn't even listening to my concerns. I felt like this visit was a complete waste of time."

"Clearly, this provider is over scheduled and unable to provide the level of attention and timeliness, as well as conscientiousness to her patients that she should be able to had she not had so many patients or been so over scheduled."

"What an amazing doctor who made the most of our appointment time. She thoroughly examined my history and saw my case wholly and not in pieces. She really tied things together for me and took my concerns seriously. I left without any questions unanswered as well as a plan and literature to get me started on weight loss. What a wonderful experience especially after having waited months to see her. She seemed to understand that and made the most of it."

"The Dr was speaking very quickly, tripping over her own words. Very difficult to keep up with what she was saying and asking. There wasn't alot of back and forth, it was her telling me what my GP and I are doing wrong. No discussion on what I've tried before. How I wont fail this time. Here's some pills. Here's some papers. I'm putting this (glucose monitor I later found out) on your arm it may fall off in 10 days.I went to get help, thinking pills. I have pills so nice job, hope they work"
