Reviewed on Jan 7, 2019
Dr seemed very rushed and unfamiliar with meds and tests he ordered. He probably has too many patients and is shuffled from location to location. This seems to be The Clinic way these days and it is not good for patients as it is almost impossible to develop a Dr patient relationship under these conditions.
