Patient
After waiting 1.5 hrs for new patient apt, he only spent 10-15 minutes with me, barely made eye contact, did not address the main reason I was there which was an abnormal echocardiogram, told me my whole problem was I was an American who did not understand what sodium really is. Assumed my entire problem was weight related, not cardiac, did not appear to listen to any of my concerns (by the way, I am a nurse of 16 years) no discussion about medications, treatments, told me he not discuss diet with me and to just read the papers. But at the end of our visit, I was told I had a strong healthy heart. I went to him because I was told he was one of the best, spiritual, kind, good bedside manor. NONE OF THAT WAS TRUE IN MY CASE. He is over booked and rushed through an apt that was VERY important to me and I left with no answers and more questions. HORRIBLE bedside manor. And I appreciate blunt, on level physicians, but he is not the same as he once was to others. He has too much going on apparently.
