She’s the best. So attentive, great listener

I went in for a full physical and left feeling unheard and dismissed. The visit mainly consisted of reviewing my medications and ordering blood work. When I brought up concerns, they were either denied or written off without discussion. As a new patient, I expected a more thorough visit — including in-depth questions about my medical history or a more complete examination. A full physical should feel more comprehensive than this. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet that expectation.
