My doctor never seem interested in explaining things to me. He never goes over blood test that are high or low unless I ask and then doesn't appear to what to explain things to me.

Dr Govin is an excellent provider. He tells information in a way that a lay person can easily understand. Questions do not bother him and he explains in more detail if needed. I also like that my doctor puts his notes on My Chart so that I can refer to them at a later day if necessary. This is very helpful especially if the diagnosis is upsetting and takes time to process

I made a mistake with the appointment. I asked for a liver specialist but didn't communicate that request clearly, it was my fault. Even after I found it out the dr was understanding and even made a return visit which I'm excited to go back to him

I just didn't feel like they were really glad to be treating me, it felt cold not personal I want to hear details on my bood work in layman terms, what, where, why and how, I think a lack of friendliness and genuineness I want to feel cared about, not just a number on a diagnosis
