My father has seen him for years, and always complained he was uncommunicative.

I made an appointment for an annual physical and when he walked into the exam room, he said, "what are you here for?" I had to tel him I was there for a physical. So that means he didn't read any chart information or background info on me. So I explained it to him along with my family history of cancer and that it had been a couple of years since my last physical. He did a couple of basic physical tests and that was it. No blood tests to test anything out like cholesterol or the PSA test or any other test. He seemed bored to be in there and was not very conversational. Maybe it's time to retire.
