Doctor felt impersonal, rushed, judgmental, condescending, and honestly unhelpful. Didn't listen to full medical history (even though crucial) and rushed me out the room, and said if I want more I should go to Cleveland Clinic. Given I have a serious condition which nearly killed me twice, the lack of respect and empathy was honestly disgusting
