Doctor was very friendly and kind. I do feel he was on a time crunch. I estimate he spent about 10 minutes with me. When I would start to share my story and symptoms, I would get cut off. I think he reviewed my previous medical history and came into the room with a diagnosis and did not ask me many questions. I do think his diagnosis is accurate and the medication he suggested is helping. However, I left unsure as I didn't get to voice my concerns. He ordered tests and I completed them. I can see the results in my Sharp app but I have not received a message or call from the office with analysis of results.

The PA was wonderful! I don't remember his name right now and I can't get into my phone to do it but I loved him and we're gonna go back to him anytime. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and personable, and seemed to really care!
