I felt like he wasn't truly listening or taking my symptoms to heart or hearing the frustration & aggravation I've been feeling the last 6 weeks with my symptoms. Left with no answers. Something is clearly going on with me & I left with an appointment 3 months from now & suffering with symptoms until then. Really upsetting"
