- May 26, 2020Excellent so caring
- May 24, 2020Dr. Evans seemed like he did not want to have anything to do with me. He did the procedure and was quickly out of the room before I could ask questions. When I ask the nurse if I could talk to him again, I ended up waiting another 15-20 minutes before he came in the room. I started to ask questions I had written down but was interrupted multiple times to the point I could not ask anymore. It was like he just wanted to get rid of me. I heard him go to another room after me and his demeanor towards the next patient was way different than the way he treated me. I left the office angry and feeling that I was not respected as a person or patient.
