Dr. B has been my doctor for past 12 years. He has always been kind, respectful and empathetic to me and I appreciate his upbeat greeting and that he has never seemed rushed. I trust his judgement and I like how he listens to me and my opinion on my care and treatment.

Is in too big of a hurry. He comes across rude sometimes. This last time he made me feel like he had better things to do.
