So that's 4 appointments to get something simple checked out that requires any lab work. What a waste of money and resources.

It should have been one appointment and a phone call.
Same as my new doctor, with the addition of a sign that says you can only address one issue per appointment. Can't ask about my knee after we talk about my test results..

At least I have a family doctor now, first time in four years of looking.
