Provider experience very poor. This experience is not new but this last visit was the final straw for me. 1) The provider does not listen.

She just enters whatever she thinks she Is hearing without actually listening. 2) The provider Ignored several of the symptoms that I mentioned and wanted to discuss. She dismissed my concerns and focused on what was most Important to her - lecturing and not discussing.
