He was really nice and helpful to me until he found out I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, then was quite dismissive of everything I came in for after that. I do have a lengthy health history (main reason for my anxiety!). Treated me like a person who goes 'fishing' for antianxiety meds, and basically humiliated me and I cried on my way out to the car after my visit with him. My last visit to him was for a terrible sore throat, and I was also running a low temp. Asked if there's a chance I might be pregnant, I answered 'yes'. Sent me home saying I had bad heartburn. Turned out I WAS pregnant, but he didn't bother checking for that and told me to take Prilosec (contraindicated during pregancy) which I did. :-/ Also had never heard of a medical condition that I suffer from that is not that rare. That was the last straw for me.
Arrogant, argumentative, mean-spirited, self-righteous and hostile toward patient. Refused to listen to, or take responsibility for patient's blood pressure medications not being refilled - blamed patient for not being "adequately assertive" in demanding a timely appointment. Also claimed patient had been notified about the need for a semi-annual check-up by a pharmacist, contrary to reality.

Very thorough, friendly, knowlegable. I felt like he knew I was in the room and he cared about my needs. This has not been my experience in the past. I am so glad I changed clinics.
