Some visits were pretty short, I feel like the doctor was in a rush sometimes.

Generally "fine." I sometimes feel like I have to rush to describe my concerns or that answers to concerns not addressed in detail. Bedside manner competent & efficient.

I wish the doctor would prescribe something for my bad acid reflux instead of telling me to go to the store. We have very good insurance that would have covered these things easily instead we had to go pay out of pocket for all of these things. I do wish she was more sympathetic to us being over an hour away and would give me a timeframe if inducing is an option as I have a lot of anxiety about not making it to the hospital.

Absolutely gaslighted me and explicitly ignored all the information I provided. Made me feel horrible and unseen. Her "solutions" were not solutions by any means and gave absolutely no Insite into the reason I visited the clinic. I am still in pain and have 0 answers. Now I have to go to another clinic and spend even more money to feel even heard.
