Dr. Kept me waiting for 48 minutes after appointment time, with no explanation. Then sent a Resident, who had no knowledge of the reason for my visit, to question me. I had previously had medical records sent to Dr two weeks in advance of appointment.After my explanations the Resident left the room Several minutes later doctor 'breezed in', introduced himself, made alame joke about being a Volvo mechanic, and mentioned sending me to his Fellow for a cystoscopy.
