Dr. Chelsky was obviously in a hurry. When I had qustions he told men that I if had more questions to make another appointment and that he had other patients to see. His attitude was that all that mattered was that he meet his patient load for the day. This is wrong on so many levels

Excellent explanations
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/28/2024
Doctor was not particularly familiar with my health history, and seemed to not want to offer alternatives until my remarks made him look over my medical history more thoroughly. He had a good bedside manner, however, and seemed like a nice man.
