Reviewed on May 18, 2023
Dr. Emery seemed to know his stuff and made some very helpful comments relating to my condition, but I couldn't tell if he really cared about me as a person. I wondered if this might be inherent in a situation where a doctor is being asked for a second opinion any may perhaps be less likely to be as fully engaged with the patient.
