I went in for a physical exam..I verbally told the assistant of my other things I would like addressed. She typed those in the computer. When the doctor arrived she did not respond to any of my of those concerns the appointment was useless . Also I was due for a colonoscopy, she was not helpful in me deciding on the procedure or colorguard. I felt like like I didn't matter.
