"Would never recommend this doctor to anyone. Talking over you, not listening, had to remind him of what the final result was of the exam as he left all exam equipment on top/in front of me as he went to look for a nurse to take notes for him. Doctor's mannerisms with patients is horrid. Glad my issue was resolved but never again."
