I’m uncomfortable returning to see Dr Mary S. She rushed me when I was explaining what was going on and actually cut me off from finishing my explanation. She also made a very concerning generalization comment that I found troubling. So now I have little faith in her.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Get a better doctor than Dr S.

Sep 11, 2025
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Doctor seemed rushed and stated she might not be able to address all my problems. As a new patient I would have liked the doctor to try to listen to my concerns and interested in my history as it related to my concerns. I will say that she did order a test to address my concerns as I have a history of cancer
