The assistant answered my questions and passed my concerns onto the doctor. She also agreed to schedule me for some services to address my concerns. The doctor in turn discussed my treatment plan.

Her initial entry was pleasant. As the conversation turned to medications and my concerns for the amounts and types I take, because of side effects I have experienced, I felt she didn't want to hear what I had to say. At that point she said this visit is over and she left the room. I find this very concerning because I have never felt part of the team in my health care decisions. I think that type of behavior is unprofessional and frankly makes me sad.
