    My normal PC could not see me. So the help line set me up with this video visit. The doctor was excellent! Very concerned about my condition and was able to figure out what was wrong with me. Put me on the right medication and now I'm starting to feel better! I want to thank her very much for her caring and kind advice!

    Wasted time and not helpful. Dr arrived smiling, chatted about weekend. Her questions had already been answered by admitting attendant. My motto has always been 'when the attendant neglects their own self care, they can't do much to help me'. I think we both wasted our time, therefore will not schedule another appt.

    Very matter of fact and dismissive. Even made a comment about how she was a chemist first in life but liked fire too much so she had to change and then went into medicine. Talked fondly of fire and "why would you ever want to put a beautiful fire out, especially when it's all glowing and pretty."Decided to increase the one medication she started two weeks ago, then lamented about the EMR, computer, technology, the "guided or recommended dosages it wants you to make", and generally complained about EVERYTHING.Not sure I will be returning to this clinic, and DEFINITELY NOT to this provider!
