My visit was unpleasant. The way he walked into to the room and introduced himself he took one look at me and had made up his mind. As I explained my symptoms and what I had been experiencing he didn't seem like he was listening. When I expressed my feelings about how I was feelings after being diagnosed and going to my first opinion, he looked at his watch and said "I have other patients that I need to see". I was late for my appointment and was not asked to reschedule (I would have if told). If he didn't have the time to see me I would have preferred to be rescheduled instead of being treated like that.
