My observation was that this doctor goes through patients like it’s speed dating. He came off dismissive and uncaring. I left my last appointment feeling more confused than when I went in.

He issued me with a referral and directed me to the end of the building to get the MRI, with instructions to return as soon as it was done. As I started to leave the office I was collared by Dr smith's receptionist, who demanded that I pay.
