I was scheduled with him bc I needed a regularly scheduled check but my Pcp in CL was leaving and I was told no one there could take me on. So I just picked him, intending to return to CL when I could. But I was very happy with him and decided to stay with him.

Thanks for the start of trying to figure things out.

What I would like to know is why have a pcp or a Dr. When you can’t get a appointment. When you need to see your doctor shouldn’t have to wait 6 weeks. Better off going to the walk-in clinic. Believe the health care is all about money not patient care.

Nurses and lab tech were all great. Dr. said I'd say bad of him (and he acted this way). Yes I have any medical issues, and he was new Dr but the system could months, so he won... I wanted my regular Dr but seem for 2-3 years, not what I want this is how the system works when you get sick, or the Dr is not available but he is a here a PA Dr for to take your issue...
