Dr Richard Minkner doesn't listen to me. Well depends on the day if he's in a good mood. I'm going to request a new physician. He's putting more stress on me than he should

Dr. Minkner always seems to be contentious with me. I do advocate strongly for myself, and his response to that is always to try to talk me out of what I'm asking for, like a referral, or to just be plain cranky about it. In all the times I've seen him, including the annual check up, he has not once physically examined me other than to put the sphygmomanometer on my chest for about 30 seconds. When I'm in pain, I hope for a provider to be empathetic to my situation instead of being reactive.
