I feel as though my appointment was rushed with the provider, I spent more time getting my vitals within Nurse than I did with the actual doctor. I was there for a heart Condition screening. And all he could speak about was a previous injury That did not involve my heart at all. I felt like it was kind of a waste of time for me to go if we weren't focusing on his actual specialty.
