“Being a patient you should never feel as if you are bothering the Doctor ,Disappointed in Treatment and Care”
I was booked to see Dr. Geffin by an internal referral from one of their other providers and his demeanor was that he was annoyed of my appointment. When I was asked questions by him, he cut me off in mid sentence. I have had blurry vision for the past 3 weeks, and I have no resolution to it .The only resolution I got was that he was annoyed I was there. If you are looking for a MD to listen to what your symptoms are and to take time to explain things to you this is not your guy.
