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.

I rated the front desk high!! She did what we ask when checking in but on that floor people would enjoy a smiling face and upbeat attitude.
