Verified patient

Verified patient
May 2023I believe he is very knowledgeable, but just hasn't gotten a chance to get to know me very well. Think he may be very reserved so we don't have much conversation. He just sticks to the basic questions/ answers. I like my physician to ask me how life is going, if I have anything concerning me or have any big family news i. e. vacation plans, weddings, grandchildren, sickness or deaths. I also like proactive-preventive type care from my physician.
