The question about communication between nurse and doctors is not applicable. The nurse and doctor were not in the room at the same time, so I did not observe any interaction between them. I loved Dr. Alaref! He was very kind and thorough. He was knowledgable about my medical situation as he was talking with me, not looking at the computer screen the whole time as if he were seeing my information for the first time. He didn't rush through the appointment, as so many others do, and took the time he and I both needed. Your primary care physicians could learn some "bedside manners" from this guy!
