    Seems knowledgeable, felt very rushed, speaks too fast, zero bedside manner. Seemed annoyed at times.

    Not very caring. Very aloof and cold. He rushed through the exam and was more interested in getting to the next patient. Definitely needs help in his bedside manners.

    He was terse to the point of being rude.

    I arrived at 2:30 and was taken to exam room fairly quickly. I then sat, with nobody ever checking, in for over half an hour. It was clear that other visits were going overtime, because I could hear things going on in the hallway and from other exam rooms,but that still doesn’t excuse the fact that when the doctor came in the room, he was very brusque, speed through the exam, and then had his back to me 97% of the time, filling out a form shoved a bunch of prescriptions at me with no comment and seemed irritated at my questions and was just basically rude and didn’t discuss any of the medication’s. I felt completely dismissed as a patient and that I was just someone to be shunted out the door as quickly as possible. He didn’t ask for much history, or things that might be contributing to my issues. It all felt very perfunctory and lacking empathy and care.

    Because he told me I had the initial stages of macular degeneration and I’ve since been told that I do not. I think he was alarmist. He was also polite but cold. It was a bad experience

    Because I totally trust him. If you trust your doctor there is nothing to worry about. He cares and listens and has helped me so much with my eye journey.

    Very impatient, was more concerned about the time and/or how long the visit was taking. Kept looking at his watch and was rushing info about cataract surgery I was getting.

    One of the worst visits with a provider ever. He didn’t even look at my eyelid which is why I was there. Wrote normal in his note when it wasn’t. Very abrupt. Barely made eye contact. Very unfriendly
