      The dr stared at me like a deer in the headlights when I told him about my pain. He told me I'm healthy, as if it meant I should just live with pain and not resolve my inflammation. Hopefully he can express more concern for his patients.

      The Doctor was very kind and caring today, whereas he is not always. It seems he acts differently towards me based on what location I see him at, oddly. In Shady Side I almost always leave upset, feeling rushed and not listened to. In Passavant, He takes his time, is kind and caring and listens to my concerns well. I've seen him multiple times at each location.

      Poor bedside manner. Either oversimplified or seemed unengaged. I had to ask numerous times to get a straight answer about a medication. I understand the average persons medical knowledge is limited but I am an RN and regardless it didn't seem like they expected anyone to fully comprehend the situation.
