My doctor was pleasant and appeared thorough. However, his feedback on my lab results was minimal, only two words, "Looks good!" Since this is the one time per year that I see my physician for my annual exam, I am looking for more color and commentary, such as the YOY trend in my results. I wrote back to him on the portal and he called my back. He sounded annoyed or confused by my request but he did confirm that my changes from last year were improved. In summary, I find that my doctor visit is perfunctory and missing the human nuance that I am looking for about my health, with annual well visits.
