poor listener. discounts personal concerns. office unkempt. uses the 'everything is ok, don't worry' method. very old school. treats patients' genuine concerns and personal research as unnecessary and neurotic. compares nutritional interests and questions to 'unproven science and quackery'. insensitive examinations, no gowns used, no sense whatsoever of the comfort of the patient. while appearing friendly, visit provided no information, no guidance, no understanding, and no acknowledgment of an issue or a problem. a visit two days later to a different dr. quickly and clearly identified a problem, and offered an easy solution. finally addressing the concern and providing peace of mind. there is nothing worse than feeling you are going crazy, knowing there is an issue, and having a sub-par dr. treat you like it is all in your head! remember, nobody knows your body better than yourself! trust your instincts!
