3/5

I didn't feel that I got any hope in my condition with this doctor. He was very frank about it, to tell me that I had no hope. At least a little hope would keep my spirit up. I'm very disappointed. I would not recommend this doctor at all.

That I felt dismissed, not listened to, patronized. That I feel like they didn't get the full picture of my health issue and that I felt frustrated due to their suggestion being something that I already tried without improvement.
