Dr Baranowski came in, introduced himself and started talking about Afib like it was from a script. He wasn't overly caring, just very matter of fact. He didn't even listen to my heart with a stethoscope, which I thought was strange. Maybe the EKG was enough for him. Spent an appropriate amount of time with me. Just seemed like he was bored with the whole thing.

This is the worst part about seeing almost any doctor at the clinic. You have to remember to schedule right away in January to get an appointment 6 months out. This is not only Dr. B., but other doctors. If you are sick and need to reschedule with a specialist, you have to wait 6 months out. Pretty bad scheduling in my opinion.

It has been difficult to schedule our annual appointments on the same day. I have been told to call during a certain week only to find out that the doctor's schedule is already booked for two to three months ahead of when the yearly appt. Is needed. That has pushed our apptointment to 3-4 months after it should have taken place. For instance, we should have a February appointment but weren't able to get in until May 15.
