This is like the 3rd time I've been there and the dr. DID NOT listen to my chief complaints. I'm not from here and never had to experience a dr not listening to me. I vowed before to never return but I did against my better judgement. I will not return to internal medicine for further treatment. I am in search for a provider that won't mind listening to me!

I had a hard time finding a PCP. I'm happy that I found [RESIDENT]. She is very thorough throughout my visit. Very detailed and asked a lot if questions. I like that.
