Dr. Batson seemed indifferent to me from the start of the appointment. I informed him that I was there because my primary doctor told me to reach out to him to get a refill on my prescription. He dismissed this as if I was bothering him; stating that my doctor can write the refill. This is unacceptable since he is the doctor treating me. I was having a really tough day and was crying; I expressed to him that I have been struggling for a several months and was in need of help. He stated that I need to speak with a psychologist, which I agree with. However, in that moment while I was having a breakdown Dr. Batson in no way of service, help or compassion. He really could care less what happened to me on that day. It was upsetting and disappointing! We deserve better care from our providers.
