I visited because an issue that I had a couple months ago was still happening. He acted like I was putting him out to be seen and told me that I should’ve gone back to a dermatologist who would have referred me to an ENT. He then proceeded to Give me a referral to the ENT. I’m not sure how I would have known what to do in this instance and I didn’t appreciate being made to feel like I did something incorrectly.
