Needed a new PCP. My previous Dr. retired. The office was helpful in getting my referrals renewed and giving me the information I needed.

3.0

I was in the process of changing primary care doctors. I will go back to see him for now but his personality was very dry and he didn’t care to listen very well. I’m sure his skills are good as he let me know. He seemed to be on the argumentative side.
