During my recent appointment, I felt the allocated time was insufficient. The consultation felt rushed, and after a wait, I was advised to prioritize a single issue and schedule a follow-up visit to address additional concerns. This approach, particularly given standard billing procedures, appears unprofessional. The office was informed of the visit's purpose upon scheduling, yet I was not informed beforehand that multiple appointments might be necessary. I also too time away from work, and I will likely seek alternative care in the future. I recommend informing patients of time constraints and ensuring equitable treatment in future appointments.
