“I know Dr. Fitch is an excellent...”
I know Dr. Fitch is an excellent doctor. I have seen him before for a different issue, and several of my friends have also seen him. However, I was not happy with my experience the other day. He asked my permission to use a dictation program, which I willingly gave, especially since other doctors have also requested my permission for similar programs. I did not, however, expect him to spend so much time dictating to his phone rather than talking to me. And I couldn't always tell when he had stopped talking to his phone and was addressing himself to me. He also spoke extremely quickly and left an impression that he was in a rush -- which he probably was, since he was running very far behind. I didn't see him until 75 minutes after my scheduled appointment (and about 30 minutes after the nurse left who had taken my blood pressure). I had been asked to show up at 10:25 for a 10:40 visit, and I did not leave until 12:20pm.
