He would not listen to a word I was saying about the way I felt. I begged him to do some tests because I knew something was wrong but he basically said it was nothing and prescribed me antibiotics for no reason. I ended up going to a walk in and I had both mono and strep throat. Very unprofessional. Do not recommend.
