Dr. Shook my hand sat down and listened. Seems like no one listens anymore. Very refreshing.

All was good. I feel in today's world they sort of rush a person through the appointment. But my provider knows I'm fairly healthy for my age bracket so we don't have to discuss many things at the appointment.

PCP also reinforced that he didn't have time for a laundry list of concerns. I felt gaslighted and dismissed.

I was previously a patient of Dr Lancaster, but hadn't been back since coming. Nevertheless, I have been recommending him to everyone that would listen over all that time.

Dr. Lancaster is the first doctor I've had that actually listens when there are concerns and he's great at keeping me informed of all of my options, not just one. I really appreciate him!

Unlike other visits, this one felt rushed. I was out of the building 10 minutes after my appointment was scheduled to start. Granted, I got in earlier than my scheduled time, but the whole process felt rushed.

Always ask for my concerns and any questions I have and address them. Takes time needed and doesn't rush me in and out.

The nurse practitioner was not friendly and standoffish. The nurse practitioner is not personable. Perhaps, they are stressed out or burnt out.
