I'm very disappointed in how difficult it is to get an appointment with a doctor in a reasonable amount of time. I suggest that each doctor set aside a small block of time on a couple of days each week for their patients who need a last minute appointment for a health issue that just occured. My previous primary care doctor did this.

The doctor told me that he was removing me from the Actos prescription since it wasn't good for my heart. That's fine. But when my husband picked up my renewal meds, he came home with an extra prescription that I had NO idea that I was being asked to take! I would think that I would have an opportunity to review the side affects of Jardiance before I paid for it and am expected to take it. It's not any where of the visit summary either. Didn't discuss this. I like Dr Hawaa but he really needs to discuss changes
