I am not usually one who give a perfect score because that would mean there is no growth available, but Dr. Clark does get a 9 from me. He was straightforward but kind, thorough, and communicative.

The man is a great record keeper. Spends more time charting than talking and or asking me what I need. I have a scheduled out patient procedure today for which I was required to see Dr Clark for a pre-op physical. All he had to say, as he was walking out the door, 'hope that helps you, see you in September for our next scheduled visit'. my translation, see in a few months where we will charge your insurance and copay for more money for the corporation and my portion of the profit. nice gig if you can get it!

Doctors here are lacking bedside manor. Stop being so rude and dismissive. They should attempt working with and open communication with patients. Spend a little more time with and elucidate the patient Also recording their notes (what the patient says VERBATIM) in lieu of what the doctor has forgotten from the visit when they finally note the account. This is another huge issue. We have noticed many discrepancies in that respect as of late.
