    Worst doctor ever, did not answer my questions and when asked to do the test he said he will do it in next appointment and for the next appoitment he cancelled it. Unrealiable and rude.

    He seemed agitated and uncaring when we tried to asked the “what if’s”. Felt like he was in a rush and ironically he spent no more than 5minutes in the room. This was the 1st visit. Second visit we didn’t even see him and after the nurse removed the catheter had to “check with the dr” twice when if he was there could’ve made the call . At that point he should’ve come in and simply addressed the issue but he didn’t. Wonder if we’ll be charged for a “doctor visit”. The nurse did everything
