I don't think I will be back to see this dr. I've never been treated worse in 50 years. I should not feel WORSE and having worse anxiety after visiting a Dr.

Dr is great but wait times during appointment are ridiculously long. This appointment could have easily been done over the phone and saved me an hour drive to Bakersfield.
