I feel like the visit started off well and I felt comfortable. I had to get x-rays, so it was a while before she came back to the exam room to discuss those results with me. It was not a long wait, the issue is not wait time. I felt that the more questions I asked about my care, the less patient she became with me. I didn’t appreciate her tone with me. She sounded frustrated with me when she asked me “what are you trying to ask?” I was trying to ask her for clarification on how I should care for my for my swollen foot. After hearing her react that way, I didn’t feel comfortable with her anymore. I just let her say what she had to say to end the encounter.

The doctor was not very thorough during my appointment. Also I did have a question regarding other issues I had but she was not interested hearing about it and told me to discuss with my primary physician. I was bit disappointed …

Dr. Rush was really attentive and calming as I explained that I had not been to a doctor in many years. I recommend her highly.
