I had an issue that required quick follow up and they were able to see me within 2 weeks of the initial issue.

He was not happy that the test was not done. I was there for 2 minutes. It cost me $50. He seemed to feel it was the Admin. fault.

He does not spend much time with the patient- our last 2 visits I do not think he was in the room with us for 2 minutes. He gets right to the point and leaves.
