    He read my lab results [omitted] after they had been completed and got back to me too late which caused an important procedure to be delayed. My potassium was low and had he gotten back to me when the results were completed- he could have prescribed the pills to me in time for me to have my stent procedure. Instead, I had to wait 5 days to have the procedure done. Causing me to reschedule every thing- boarding for my dog, rides to the hospital etc. Additionally, he wasted my cardiologists time having to reschedule an important procedure.

    I was unable to discuss the issues that mattered to me. Too prompt on pushing medicines instead of trying to figure out the cause of some of the issues. I miss the warmth and care of my previous GP who unfortunately retired.
